SUMMARY:Tenderloin Cocktail Culture
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 21\, 2019\n7:00 PM  9:00 PM\n\n\nGoogle Calendar  ICS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs San Francisco’s roaring vice district\, the Tenderloin of the early 20th century figures greatly into the development of cocktail culture. Many of the bars\, restaurants\, and hotels represented in The Match Book: Tenderloin Historical Ephemera Project played a role in San Francisco cocktail history. Join us for a survey of the neighborhood’s historic bar culture and recipes from the innovators who shaped the modern cocktail landscape through a historical discussion\, guided tasting\, and hands-on class led by Shana Farrell\, author of Bay Area Cocktails: A History of Culture\, Community and Craft. In collaboration with the California Historical Society. \n— \nThis event is part of The Tenderloin Match Book: Historical Ephemera Project a multi-faceted project that also encompasses the publication of The Match Book: Vintage Matchbooks from San Francisco’s Tenderloin\, an artfully designed history book of the Tenderloin featuring the matchbooks of local businesses and cultural institutions; the Tenderloin Ephemera Exhibition\, featuring historical Tenderloin ephemera from the 1920’s-1950’s\, including bar signs\, glassware\, postcards\, menus\, matchbooks et al.; the first addition to the Tenderloin Museum’s permanent exhibit\, The Matchbook Map Exhibit\, featuring a searchable\, interactive touchscreen map that connects matchbook imagery to historical info on the associated business and address. \nThrough the everyday act of picking up a matchbook and striking a match\, one is transported to another place and time; the past is remembered through a pedestrian interaction with a tangible object. Matchbooks are emblems of local culture: accessible\, utilitarian ephemera that functioned as the chosen form of advertising for small businesses in an era before plastic lighters and health concerns about smoking. These ritual objects exist at a fascinating intersection of material culture\, local history\, and design art; matchbooks (and other local business ephemera) are striking populist artifacts that serve as portals to places and people in a neighborhood’s past. The Match Book: Tenderloin Historical Ephemera Project presents an illuminating new perspective on the Tenderloin’s often overlooked history\, enriches the detail and depth of the neighborhood’s narrative\, and ignites the Tenderloin community’s historical imagination. \nDoors at 6:30pm\, Program 7pm

SUMMARY:Kurt Eichenwald
DESCRIPTION:Kurt Eichenwald\n\n\n\n\npresents A Mind Unraveled: A Memoir\, the compelling story of an acclaimed journalist and New York Times bestselling author’s ongoing struggle with epilepsy–his torturous decision to keep his condition a secret to avoid discrimination\, and his ensuing decades-long battle to not only survive\, but to thrive. \n“Inspirational in the true sense of the word….It is written with great verve and wisdom by someone who has closely and thoughtfully detailed his own plight as well as the journey out of it….A book to take heart from.”–Daphne Merkin\, The New York Times Book Review \nTo reserve your seat\, please purchase a copy of A Mind Unraveled by speaking to a bookseller or ordering through our website. \n\n\n\n\n\nThursday\, March 21\, 2019 – 7:30pm\n\n\n\n\n\nAs a college freshman\, Kurt Eichenwald awoke one night on the floor of his dorm room\, confused and in pain. In the aftermath of that critical moment\, his once-carefree life would be consumed by confrontations with medical incompetence\, discrimination that almost cost him his education and employment\, physical abuse\, and dark moments when he contemplated suicide. \nThis is the story of one man’s battle to pursue his dreams despite an often incapacitating brain disorder. From his early experiences of fear and denial to his exasperating search for treatment\, Eichenwald provides a deeply candid account of his years facing this misunderstood and often stigmatized condition. He details his encounters with the doctors whose negligence could have killed him\, but for the heroic actions of a brilliant neurologist and the family and friends who fought for him.  \nUltimately\, A Mind Unraveled is an inspirational story\, one that chronicles how Eichenwald\, faced often with his own mortality\, transformed trauma into a guide for reaching the future he desired. Defying relentless threats to his emotional and physical well-being\, he affirmed his decision to never give up\, and in the process learned how to rise from the depths of despair to the heights of unimagined success. \nKurt Eichenwald is the author of four previous nonfiction books. His second\, The Informant\, was made into a movie starring Matt Damon and directed by Steven Soderbergh. In addition to his distinguished work as a senior writer at Newsweekand a contributing editor at Vanity Fair\, Eichenwald spent two decades as a senior writer at The New York Times\, where he was a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize. He is also a two-time winner of the George Polk Award\, as well as the winner of the Payne Award for Ethics in Journalism and an Emmy Award nominee. He lives in Dallas with his family. \n\n\n\n\nEvent address:\n\n\n\n2904 College Avenue\n\nBerkeley\, CA 94705
