It's so sad to think that Bailey Coy Books won't be around any more. It's been a fixture on the Hill for 26 years! So, for those of you who need to mourn the loss of this iconic bookshop and celebrate their incredible history, you need to attend the Wake & Auction on Thursday, December 3. You can help the store raise some cash to cover final expenses by bidding on the awesome stuff they've collected over the years. From the Brown Paper Ticket's page:
Auctioneer Laura Michalek will oversee bidding on a pair of white boxer shorts signed by David Sedaris, original cartoons out of our guestbook by Matt Groening and Lynda Barry, a poster signed by Annie Leibovitz, an original painting from the Big Fucking Hands series by Ellen Forney, signed first editions and other very special and very odd items. We'll also auction off dates with two of Capitol Hill's celebrity politicians, State Senator Ed Murray and City Councilmember Sally Clark.
Entertainment will be provided by Fuschia Foxxx and the magnificent Dina Martina. Food and champagne will be served, all provided by local Capitol Hill eateries such as Poppy, Table 219, Charlie's and High Five Pies.
So, drinks start at 6 (oh, yah, you have to be over 21 to attend) and the auction at 7. So, get your tickets today!
