SUMMARY:Vroman's: Sara Kuburic discusses It's On Me
DESCRIPTION:So many of us feel lonely\, unfulfilled\, or trapped–in our roles and relationships\, in cycles of self-sabotage and bad decisions\, by our patterns and misguided attempts to feel happy or to feel something. According to existential psychotherapist Sara Kuburic\, it doesn’t have to be so difficult. Really. \nThe answer is found in facing ourselves–whatever version that might be\, regardless of whether we like the person we see reflected back to us. It’s about accepting full responsibility for the choices and actions that create our reality. It’s about finally taking ownership of this person we call our “Self.” It’s about realizing that it’s on us to figure out the two most essential questions: “Who am I” and “Why am I here?” and then to live accordingly. \nIn It’s on Me\, Kuburic unpacks “self-loss\,” giving us new vocabulary to understand this rarely talked about experience and offers tools she’s used for years to help clients recover. Self-loss becomes apparent when we do not recognize ourselves in our actions\, words\, or relationships; when we lose sight of who we truly are\, and feel the pain and emptiness from performing or observing life\, rather than living it. \nRevelatory and empowering\, Kuburic shows how we can stop sleepwalking our way through the lives we don’t want and step into our most vibrant\, authentic\, and meaningful Self. In doing so\, we unlock a deep sense of connection to our innermost being\, and to those around us.

SUMMARY:T. Boyle Tavern: Geeks Who Drink Trivia Night
DESCRIPTION:Modeled after pub quizzes in Ireland and the U.K.\, Geeks Who Drink is an authentic homegrown trivia quiz. It’s a great way to drink with friends\, without burning brain cells. And it’s where useless knowledge means everything. Our quizzes cover everything from Hungary to The Hunger Games\, from science to sports\, from the Billboard Hot 100 to Better Call Saul. Each quiz consists of seven rounds of eight questions\, in a variety of formats\, including audio and visual rounds. Teams can be up to six players\, so bring your smartest friends (or some likable dummies)—or come solo. We can always help you join a team! \nNo reservations are needed\, just show up! Winning teams get bar cash and other prizes\, depending on the venue. Bonus questions sprinkled throughout the quiz will net you additional goodies. But mostly it’s about establishing your dominance—or at least pleasantly surprising yourself. You’re into that\, right?

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Ben Caldwell and Robeson Taj Frazier Discuss Kaos Theory
DESCRIPTION:KAOS Theory: The Afrokosmic Ark of Ben Caldwell tells the story of filmmaker\, educator and community activist Ben Caldwell and KAOS Network\, the media-arts center he founded in Los Angeles’s Leimert Park neighborhood. Through vivid illustrations\, archival media\, and engaging storytelling\, KAOS Theory shows how Ben crafted a life centered around the power of fellowship\, community\, and the use of art and media as a social force. The text takes a journey through history and time\, beginning with Ben’s ancestors in the American southwest\, up through Ben’s childhood in New Mexico\, his experiences in Vietnam\, his work as a filmmaker and pioneer of the L.A. Rebellion Film Movement\, and as founder of KAOS Network. But KAOS Theory is more than just the story of one man’s life. It is a work of art\, remembrance\, and tribute. Encompassing music\, film\, art\, and performance\, KAOS Theory honors the vibrant and influential communities that continue to shape the cultural landscape of Los Angeles\, the African Diaspora\, and beyond.

SUMMARY:Vroman's: Evelyn McoDonnell discusses The World According To Joan Didion
DESCRIPTION:Joan Didion was a writer’s writer; not only a groundbreaking journalist\, essayist\, novelist and screenwriter\, but a keen observer who honed her sights on life’s telling details. Her insights continue to influence creatives and admirers\, encouraging them to become close observers of the world\, unsentimental critics\, and meticulous stylists. \nAn antidote to a global view that narrows our vision to the smallest screens\, The World According to Joan Didion is a meditation on the people\, places\, and objects that propelled Didion’s prose and an invitation to journalists\, storytellers\, and life adventurers to “throw themselves into the convulsions of the world\,” as she once said. \nEvelyn McDonnell\, the acclaimed journalist\, essayist\, critic\, feminist\, native Californian\, and university professor who regularly teaches Didion’s work\, is attuned to interpret Didion’s vision for readers today. Inspired by Didion’s own words–from her works both published and unpublished–and informed by the people who knew Didion and those whose lives she shaped\, The World According to Joan Didion is an illustrated journey through her life\, tracing the path she carved from Sacramento\, Portuguese Bend\, Los Angeles\, and Malibu to Manhattan\, Miami\, and Hawaii. McDonnell reveals the world as it was seen through Didion’s eyes and explores her work in chapters keyed to the singular physical motifs of her writing: Snake. Typewriter. Hotel. Notebook. Girl. Etc. \nOne of the first books to be published after the revered writer’s death in 2021\, The World According to Joan Didion is a literary companion for those embarking on new journeys and a guide to innovative ways of being. It will radically transform the way you explore the world\, and will help you answer the question as you sit in a café\, or on a plane or train\, pondering the future: What would Joan Didion have seen?
