Sunday / 9A Nonnie Cocktail Hour with Parker Posey

Dear friends,Parker Posey’s stopping by Archestratus to make the Nonnie cocktail before she leaves the city for Lost in Space. She’s looking forward to meeting those who can make it!The Nonnie cocktail is like a Manhattan with a fireball thrown in and is inspired by her grandmother. To quote Parker: “I hope I’m compelled to shimmy my shoulders like Nonnie would, even if there was no music playing...”. She said she wants to mingle and will bring a cardboard cut-out of herself for photos, to make mingling possible. She also noted she probably wouldn’t get around to making this happen.

You’ll get a copy of You're on an Airplane: A Self-Mythologizing Memoir, a drink and get in some mingling with Parker, who is bringing the Fireballs, naturally...Tickets are limited.More copies of the book will be for sale at Archestratus. No outside copies, please. Goddess Bless.$50, 5-7p
