7:00 – 9:30 PM: Even writers like to spend the holidays at home, so not much is happening around town until after the new year; however, John Cohassey will be at the Rendezvous in Belltown, tomorrow. Cohassey is promoting his book, American Culture Rebels: Avant Garde and Bohemian Artists. After his talk, Ramona will play some hip-hop and electronica.

Cohassey and Roy Kotynek spent years researching and writing American Culture Rebels. From the press release: “The book focuses on American artists from all disciples [ed.- I think they mean disciplines.] and their influence on counter culture movements from the 1850s through the 1960s. It starts with transcendentalists Thoreau and Emerson, and ends with Allen Ginsburg, Bob Dylan and The Doors. In between, they discuss Georgia O’Keefe, Ezra Pound, Ken Kesey, Walt Whitman, Jack Kerouac and many more.”
This event is 21 and over.
