A nice mixed crowd of dudes and ladies came out to play tonight at Books & Books—arguably the hottest bookstore in all of Florida. Seriously, the architecture of the building is amazing. The store is arranged in a square with an outdoor café/bar in the center courtyard. After being there all of 15 minutes I announced that I had to live there. And I meant, literally, in the bookstore, surrounded by all those oh-so-romantic sliding ladders along the floor-to-ceiling bookcases. Amazing. And thanks to the few, the fierce who made it out to a bookstore on a Monday night (during spring break, no less)! A special shout-out to Melissa-transplanted-from-Brooklyn who gets the prize for the longest trek—she braved the public transport system (the what?!?) of the greater Miami area to make it out tonight. (I feel nothing but love for the F train after hearing her adventures.) Onward—next stop Tampa!
