Friends,

Save the Dates! I am having my "Havana Before Castro" book launch on two separate nights:

The first is on Saturday, Sept. 20 at Wacko 6-9PM/La Luz de Jesus Gallery and is called "Havana After Dark" and features an evening of live Cuban music, hosted Cuban cocktails (sponsored by 10 Cane Rum), Cuban hors d'oeuvres (sponsored by Cuba Libre restaurant), and an exhibition of vintage posters, lobby cards, and brochures from the book. I'll also sign books.

And...There will be a terrific "after party" from 9PM-2AM at nearby Cuba Libre bar/restaurant with more food and special $5 drinks!

At the second event on Sunday, Oct.12 at the store 8 Ball at 4PM in Burbank I'll be giving an exciting slide talk about Havana's fabulous nightclubs, mob-controlled casinos, mid-century modern hotels, all night bars, and backstreet brothels. Plus, I'll be displaying vintage Havana menus, swizzle sticks, and postcards. I'll also sign books.

Please RSVP if you can. It will be great to see you there!

Peter
