Event Description:
Under the aegis of the Harvard Club of Washington DC and American Independent Writers, there will be a gathering of existing and would-be Joycomaniacs to celebrate Jim's 129th birthday - particularly significant since 129 is the sum of the first 10 prime numbers (and the product of two prime multiplicands). If he doesn't show up this year, one might well ask if he ever will - it is, however, legal to consume both Irish and Mexican beer on the 33rd day of the year in the District of Columbia (especially during a reading).
Participant readers are invited to volunteer at bobkolive@gmail.com (genuine draft script available, suggestions encouraged - particularly if they involve enthusiasm, exaggeration or exuberance)
