Webster's News You Can Use
September 2013 Edition
Dear Friends Of WFS,

Now that the days are getting shorter and the kids are back in school, all of us at Webster's Fine Stationers (WFS) are gearing up for an exciting, event-filled Fall season, and that means lots of fun for you!

We'll kick it off Friday evening with  Altadena's Fancy Food Truck Friday.  This is the final food truck event of the year with six gourmet food trucks, three of which are new to the event.  Representatives from the Pasadena Humane Society will be here as well, with their Mobile Adoption Unit and some very special animals that need a good home.

The trucks making an appearance Friday evening will be the Trailer Park Truck, which seems to have mixed reviews on Yelp; Red Beanz & Rice, also with mixed reviews on Yelp; The Reuben Truck, with a mostly positive rating on Yelp; the Cambalaches Argentinian Food Truck, which has no website but does have a decent rating on Yelp; Roll 'n Lobster, another truck with mixed reviews on Yelp; and perennial favorite dessert truck Sweet E's Bank Shop, who also has mixed reviews on Yelp.  Our suggestion is to come find out about the trucks and make your own decision! The fun starts at 5:00 pm, and the Stores At Webster's stay open late for your late-night shopping convenience.  Parking is limited in the parking lot after 5:00 pm, so be prepared to park on the street, at Printworks or at Steve's Pets

Read on for information about what else is happening at WFS during the month of September, and as always, we're grateful that you allow us into your in-box every month!

Self Publishing Workshop On Sept. 24!

Writing a book?  If so, you might already be aware of how frustrating it is to get it published by a major publishing house.  Here's a solution - publish it yourself! 

Increasingly popular these days, more authors are self-publishing their works, but it is a time-consuming and confusing endeavor.  Let Adrianne Marie Hall, author and head of Anthurium Publishing help you! On September 24, Adrianne will lead an informative mini-seminar that will go over the baffling basics that you need to know to get your books in the hands of eager readers. 

For a one-time charge of $35.00, you'll receive her specially designed publishing guide and a two-hour discussion of the most important things you'll need to know to publish your book. For tickets, call us at the store, and we'll reserve a seat for you. We're limited to seating only 35 people for this seminar, so be sure to reserve your seat early!  626-797-1135

Lori & Scott Halloween Informative, Fun, Creative!
That's the feedback that WFS is getting about our many in-store events, and we'd love for you to participate!  We host book signings (two are being scheduled now for October and November, so do watch for our emails, or join us on our Facebook page for details), poetry events, seminars, and instructional seminars. 

We're planning the resumption of our monthly Eccentric Poetry Jam and Open Mic event, where you never know who will stop by to entertain and amuse!  Held jointly with local poet and artist Aldonia Bailey, our last event in July included noted NeoSoul singer Promise Marks, who dropped by and sang for us all. During our Valentine's Day event last February, jazz/blues musician Amin El played and sang, and earlier in the summer we hosted rap poet Fe Love, late of Pasadena's Old Town Pub.  Again, be sure to watch fur updates for this fun event!
 

New Products Coming In, Some Old Moving Out
Be sure to stop in the store to say hello and to see all our new arrivals for the Fall and Winter seasons!  We're expecting a large shipment from Crane and Company; we've received new toys for the kids and are expecting more; some fabulous seasonal Halloween and Christmas products are on their way; and it's about to get really ghastly, in a good Halloween      way!  There are lots of items on sale, too - just ask a WFS crew member what's on special.

As always, we serve strawberry lemonade when it's hot, tea and coffee when it's cold, and there are tempting cookies to nibble as you shop!  You can always find something interesting here at WFS, be it your favorite pen, paper, greeting cards, school art supplies, local chocolates, fair trade tea and tote bags, and local artist-made jewelry!  Webster's Fine Stationers - you've found your happy place!
