Amy Munson
This is Not the Story you Think it Is...
Tuesday, April 13th at 7:00 pm
In this poignant, wise, and often funny memoir, Munson recounts a period of months in which her faith in herself-and her marriage-was put to the test. Shaken to the core after the death of her beloved father, not finding the professional success that she had hoped for, and after countless hours of therapy, Laura finally, at age forty, realized she had to stop basing her happiness on things outside her control and commit herself to an "End of Suffering." This Is Not The Story You Think It Is... chronicles a woman coming to terms with the myths we tell ourselves-and others-about our life and realizing that ultimately happiness is completely within our control.

The Informed Gardener Blooms Again
Wednesday, April 14th at 7:00 pm
The Informed Gardener Blooms Again uses scientific literature to debunk a new set of common gardening myths. "A no-nonsense, no-hype, nothing-to-sell-but-the-truth voice that straddles an important line between hearsay gardening and scientific fact in ornamental horticulture."--Ketzel Levine.

Wednesday, April 21st at 7:00 pm
"What we were trying to do is to create a brand new public consciousness that would cause the rules of the game to change ... it was wild and exciting and out of control - and the sort of thing that lets you know you've got something big happening."
− Denis Hayes, National Coordinator, Earth Day 1970
History Cafe is held every third Wednesday at the Pub. Co-sponsored by MOHAI, KCTS9, Seattle Public Library and The Pub at Third Place & Vios Cafe in Ravenna.
