I love jotting down lines from this and that, and holding on to lines I enjoy. Inevitably, shifts happen and I find myself reminded of a sentence or paragraph I jotted down a long time ago, but that fits a given current situation perfectly, or serves as a reminder in a situation of a solid course of action.

Like right now, for example.

At the end of this month, Fixx Coffee Bar will be closing their doors. I sat with the owners a few nights ago, who have become good friends over all this time, as they told me this news. I know they are the kind of people who land on their feet and in fact, are already planning their next moves, next moves which sound positive and fulfilling, but still, I feel badly about the situation and that the city will loose such a great place and a fine independent coffeeshop.

This also left a reading series homeless.

So, not one to spin my wheels, as of yesterday afternoon, Fixx Reading Series will be held at The Book Cellar bookstore in Lincoln Square starting in August. The July reading will be at Fixx Coffee Bar as usual, one last time. Moving to The Book Cellar is an excellent move, and I know the series will be fun as ever in its new home and I’m glad the series will (hopefully) benefit another independent business.
