E-3 EVENTS HOSTS A DIALOG WITH DENVER JEWISH AUTHORS
“Chai Life III: Read” features 3 local writers and exclusive after-party.
Denver, Colo., — E-3 Events, a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing together young Jews in their twenties, thirties and forties, is hosting a unique opportunity to chat with three very different Jewish, Denver-based authors at the Denver Press Club, followed by an exclusive after-party, on May 13, 2009.
“It's incredibly exciting to bring these three diverse, Denver-based writers together,” said Eric Elkins, who, along with Ean Seeb and Ezra Shanken, formed E-3 Events (http://e-3events.com). “They only have two things in common: they're Jewish, and they live in Denver. Finding out how those two things have informed or influenced their writing should be pretty fascinating.”
The experience of being a local Jewish author is a unique one and can be best articulated by those who are paid to articulate. Rachel Greenwald is a renowned dating coach whose latest book is “Why He Didn't Call You Back: 1,000 Singl
e Men Reveal What They Really Thought About You After Your Date.” Rayo Casablanca is a Denver based novelist and film/music critic. His two novels are “6 Sick Hipsters” and “Very Mercenary.” Jeff Kass is a former Los Angeles Times and Rocky Mountain News reporter who is receiving national attention for his latest book, “Columbine: A True Crime Story.”
“You couldn't find three more divergent authors,” said Ean Seeb. “They're all great speakers, they're funny and smart, and they're hanging with us!”
Rachel, Rayo, and Jeff will speak briefly about the role of their Jewish identity in their writing. Then they'll join E-3 for cocktails at the Denver Press Club and at an after-party (the location will be announced at the event).
The $5 price includes entry to the event, complimentary Flying Dog beer and light appetizers. However, the fee will be waived with the donation of three new or gently used books to donate to the Books for Israel Project (booksforisrael.wikispaces.com).
“We designed the Chai Life series to help our community make connections and explore Jewish identity,” said Ezra Shanken. “And free Flying Dog beer doesn't hurt!”
“So many of us are looking for fun events where we can meet new people and feel good about being Jewish, without the sense that there's some ulterior motive or agenda,” added Elkins. “Our motive is pretty selfish, and we're clear about it—we want to surround ourselves with the smartest, most entertaining people in Denver...but our Jewish friends are pretty cool, too.”
“Chai Life III: Read” will begin with free Flying Dog and snacks at 6pm, followed by the three authors with three slides. Space is limited. The event is being sponsored by Flying Dog Brewery, Roots and Branches Foundation, and Midnight at the Merage Foundation.
