Yes, it's true, we are wrapping up the summer, and therefor (temporarily!) wrapping up the "Thursdays at B'sweet" series!
It's been a fun 8 weeks, but we're taking some time off to recuperate, relax and brainstorm the next wave of events.
As always, feel free to send ideas to us! Either leave a comment here, or email us at: THatBsweet@gmail.com
For our final week, join us this Thursday from 7 pm-9 pm for a rousing marathon of "Apples to Apples."
If you've never played this game- you are in for a treat!
In celebration, our featured item will be the Green Apple Pate De Fruit- a chewy Apple confection that's both gluten free and vegan!
Join us!

the manager SLAMS!
hey everyone! we *just* finished- what i think was- a very successful "poetry night". my friend trevor from diesel opened up, reading very vivid selections from his newly-published book! some were gothic inspired but the real joy was hearing his series "punch": poems from the point of view of punch (from medieval morality play and later slap-stick puppet box punch and judy fame).
i read a couple of pieces from back in my competitive slam-poet days. it was nice to sir them before a new audience and really made me realise how much i miss performing and competing.
after, the floor was opened up and quite a diverse range of people read. new faces, regular faces...it truly was a delight to hear so many people willing to share what normally is a very private part of them.
well...there are only 2 weeks of THIS series of thursdays at b'sweet left.
next week- a benefit event for the artist-in-residence program at Children's Hospital.
and the following week- apples to apples (the MENSA award-winning game)!!!
hope to see you there.

Children's Hospital Benefit!!!
NEXT THURSDAY!!!!
Mark your calendars! Tell your friends! Bring the whole family!
Thursdays at Bittersweet is taking a different turn: We will be showcasing the artwork from the Oakland Children's Hospital Artist-in-Residence Program.
Hayley Oggel, the artist in resident herself, will be displaying works produced through this wonderful program.
As someone who spent an entire summer in Children's Hospital (albeit, in a different state), I felt a real need to highlight the amazing creative - and therapeutic- work that happens.
10% of that evening's sales (August 21st) will go directly to benefit the program; there will also be several additional donations jars, the proceeds of which will ALL directly go to the CHO Artist-in-Residence program.
Again- AUGUST 21st- 7 PM to 9 PM!!! Come out and support this fantastic program!!!!

Poetry Night!!!
Come and join us tomorrow (Thursday) night from 7-9 pm. Local poets Trevor Calvert (who just happens to work next door at the *fabulous* Diesel Books ) and our very own Becky (a former competitive slam poet, going by the moniker of Stein!) will be reading some of their favorite poems. Then the floor will open up to anyone who is willing to share: Keep in mind, this is a family atmosphere.
In celebration of all things poetic- or maybe just because they are Becky's favorite- the Brownie Bites will be 10%! YUM!
Come experience an evening of exquisite words and tastes.
