By Trista di Genova, The Wild East / A friend asked my plans for this weekend, and at first I replied, “Not much.” But then I checked my schedule and realized: this is the potentially the perfect weekend, for everyone, not only to catch up on their socializing and networking, but to attend a book-signing by a prominent author, and take part in a lecture on Jung. There are four very special events taking place this weekend: An advance book-signing event by Linda Arrigo, live music with The Red Cliff, a special Potluck anniversary at LOOP, and intellectual stimulation with the Taipei Discussion and Learning group. Here is a proposed schedule for your utter enjoyment:

Saturday 3pm: Book signing for Linda Arrigo’s new book.美麗的探險—艾琳達的一生 Dear Friends, If we haven’t met for a while, you might have forgotten that “Linda Arrigo” is the infamous foreign woman from the Formosa Magazine Incident of December 10, 1979 and the subsequent martial law trials (a.k.a. Kaohsiung Incident). I have finally gotten my biography written in Chinese, a popular version,美麗的探險—艾琳達的一生, and it also has 10 pages of summary in English at the beginning, as well as historical pictures, many in color, that you might like– so you might want a copy even if your Chinese is limited. Scott Simon, Tim Fox, and Gunther Wittome are in a picture near the end, and other Old Taiwan Hands you know like Lynn Miles and Dennis Engbarth appear in their youthful forms of long ago. You are welcome to come to my book opening and see it! Saturday November 26, 3 PM, at the Hsinyi Eslite (Cheng Ping) bookstore, 3rd Fl, which is only a block from the MRT City Government station. It should be in bookstores soon, too. Linda

We will NOT cancel the first Sunday potlucks in October, November, and December…. This is IN ADDITION to those events. The difference is, this one, we will be at a live music venue with an indoor live stage, with an Amplified PA system!! In other words, the music will be the focus, with musicians and other talents drawn directly from our Potluck family!! Our community has been growing now for THREE years! That’s 36 potlucks of people.. That means that we have had about 2000 people come and visit with us. OK, so can we get all of you to return on NOV 26th? There will be beverages and food provided (for sale) by The Loop It’s very close to the intersection of Ba De and Dun Hua Roads, near the Zhong Xiao Dun Hua MRT. We will have a raffle, and profits from the event will be used to Raise funds for The Sanctuary, an animal rescue program in North Taipei area We are hoping to have some sponsors to raise funds for a good local cause! Keep the community growing and the light shining…. Brian
