Looking for a fun Sunday outing? Look no farther. That cosmos of the curious, that galaxy of glitz and goofiness, Leon & Lulu’s, is hosting another of their annual author events.*

What a great space: with roller skates lining the walls, the original roller rink floor, and lots of really mind-blowing art, comfy chairs, screwball socks, and other various funky finds too numerous to name.

And to really put the icing on the cake, they’ve invited about 40 authors to be in various spots throughout the store to autograph books. What a great time, and place, to do your holiday shopping. Stop by and say Hi!

It’s Sunday, Oct. 10th from 11 - 5  at Leon & LuLu’s at 96 W. 14 Mile in Clawson.

The link to Leon & LuLu’s is here.  And the link to the author event is here. Also, the store does a number of events to help local not-for-profit groups. This event is supporting Beyond Basics.

*Beyond Basics is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation offering reading, writing and expanding horizons enrichment programs to students attending public schools in metropolitan Detroit. To find out more about Beyond Basics at www.beyondbasics.org.

The Books & Authors event is co-sponsored by ICU Eyewear, purveyor of fun and fancy reading glasses. ICU has donated a limited quantity of fashionable and funky reading glasses, which will be sold the weekend of the event for $17 (regular retail $22). All proceeds from the sale of the reading glasses, tips and raffle money will benefit Beyond Basics.  Entertainment will be provided by Trio Fiori (Jeffrey Beyer, flute; Theresa Stacy, violin; Sharon Sweet, piano).

Here’s a pic from last year’s event. I attended and met up with my friend, and fellow author,  Jean Alicia Elster. (Check out her website!)

See you Sunday!
