Brian Hassett’s Beat Cafe
June 2, 2017 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm UTC+0
Author of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Jack Kerouac and keynote essayist in The Rolling Stone Book of the Beats, Brian Hassett performs a comical collage of original and Beat works including a nobody’s-ever-done-it-before chapter from Kerouac’s final novel Pic.
Longtime friend of Edie Kerouac-Parker, Carolyn Cassady, Henri Cru, and numerous other Beat and Prankster luminaries, Hassett is a natural and funny storyteller, and has preformed Kerouac & the Beats on stage in Amsterdam, London, Toronto, New York, L.A. & at The Beat Museum’s own Beatnik Shindig in 2015.
This appearance is celebrating a new special “Summer of Love Edition” of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Jack Kerouac with additional photos, bringing the total in the book to 70!
This will be his first Bay Area performance in two years and the only one this Summer of Love.
Special guests are likely.
Lively guests are a certainty.
Charming event.
