"It’s hard not to feel warm and gooey when you go to a Housing Works event, considering that their money is donated to help end HIV/AIDS. So instead of admission, everyone brought a book or three to donate to Housing Works. I donated Ann Beattie’s Picturing Will, one of her better novels. I got there really early at 6:30, and there was already a crowd. Some huddled around the stage and merch table–which were decorated in several bunches of gorgeous flowers–and others perusing shelves. A little bit later, events coordinator Amanda Bullock announced that the open bar was ready, and encouraged us to drink and continue our nerdy conversations. Beer and nerds always pair well."
