If you’re in London, you absolutely MUST check out the new Brautigan Book Club being put together by saltpeter productions.
The idea is to have a face-to-face meeting each month, discuss a Brautigan & take it another (or 3) level by discussing how it relates to modern day or posting a ‘creative response’ to the Brautigan work (which will later be posted to their blog). They’re also looking to host salons or other events which include live music, readings, performances & indulgent 60′s revivalism. 
The book club sessions begin January 25th 2012 in London. Sign up to their mailing list for updates & search #brautiganbookclub hashtag on twitter.
For those of you (like me!) who are not in London, they’re looking at ways for us to participate too! I can’t wait!

completely missed this as it was held on July 1st but maybe someone went & can post a comment on the evening.
According to Bozeman Daily Chronicle, Greg read from his latest collection of sonnets at the Elk River Book store.

I often seem to try to catch up on things over the Christmas holidays & one of the items i wanted to read was this NY Times article from Feb 2010, A Homecoming for Richard Brautigan, about the event held at Vesuvio’s in San Fran earlier this year.
If you haven’t gotten around to reading it, here’s your nudge. Best wishes & holiday cheer to all! jen

On Friday May 21st, even books is hosting
THE LIBRARY OF UNWRITTEN BOOKS – a night in honour of Richard Brautigan’s The Abortion, or, library lovers and amateur writers unite!
here’s their description:
Don’t be put off by the title; you only need to be willing to expel stories, not babies! This swinging sixties classic is a parody of the romance genre in which a librarian falls in love with a traffic-stopping beauty. Love leads to sex, sex leads to babies, babies lead to Tijuana … but the real point is the sweet library that Brautigan invents, to which anyone can submit a story; sketched in crayon, daubed with jam, heaving with mathematical calculations. Anything goes! We’ll have a real-live librarian on hand to accept your manuscripts, along with the psychedelic strains of local shoegazers, a listening corner, Tijuana tequila times, human dioramas and more.
the event is at: From 7pm-11pm, ClubHouse @ Performance Space, 245 Wilson St, Eveleigh.
if anyone goes, please let us know how it was!
