Brand new summer speaking series! Eating Chinese food with Philip Glass! Sublet Henry's room in His old building in Brooklyn! HML Guest book madness!
A bunch of weird Russians burn "Tropic of Cancer" topless! Earthday & MORE!
Too much to cover in this one so we'll skip the small talk (but yeah it's sunny and nice here in Big Sur, thanks for asking.)  Let's do this - it's still March!
Presenting Nowhere Is Our Real Home: Community and Identity in the New West with David Gessner on April 3rd.
In Big Sur and throughout the West, a new economic wave spurred by the internet is causing dramatic impacts, such as traffic congestion, lack of workers’ housing, and the proliferation of short-term rentals.
The Henry Miller Memorial Library will host "Nowhere Is Our Real Home," a speakers series aimed at addressing the many issues that the new internet-driven economic wave is bringing up.
The series begins with author David Gessner on April 3 and resumes on the first Sunday in June.  For more information click HERE!
Yup that's the HML eating Chinese food with the Philip Glass crew
Back in 2012, Philip Glass, Joanna Newsom, and violinist Tim Fain played a benefit for the Library in San Francisco. Afterwards, Philip craved Chinese. And so we went to his favorite spot -- a seafood joint in North Beach, only a couple of blocks from the Beat Museum. Here we all are chowing down. (Or most specifically, here are Magnus and Mike chowing down; the former is eating ravenously and the latter is serving himself delicately.)
Spend The Summer Living In Henry's Old Apartment In Williamsburg!
Indeed, Miller spent the first nine years of his life in an apartment at 662 Driggs Avenue in Williamsburg.
And now you have the chance to unlock the amateur erotic writer inside of you by subletting his old apartment for the summer — for only $3,200 a month!
Now about the guestbook...  
If you've visited the Library, you probably noticed the guestbook. Perhaps you even signed it. Well, Roberta went through it and flagged the coolest pages. We scanned'em.  Check them out here, here, and here!
In what we hope is an ironic piece of post-glasnost performance art, we recently read that Miller books were burnt "in defiance of Western values" by Russian "pagan librarians." (Wouldn't pagans embrace Miller? Discuss.)
