Phil Goodstein, a local Denver author and historian (signing a copy of his book in the photograph above), gave a talk last night at the Tattered Cover Bookstore promoting his latest book, How the West Side Won. Goodstein is quite a character, and always has highly entertaining stories about Denver's distant and not so distant past. He also has some pretty outrageous opinions, which keeps the conversation lively. And I must say, he is a relentless promoter. Last night he passed out a handout listing over a dozen talks and classes he is offering over the next month or two throughout Denver. He is even giving talks at the Buckhorn Exchange, Denver's oldest bar, and at the Book Bar, a bookstore/wine bar in the Highlands neighborhood of Denver. If I am not working those two nights at my part-time job, I definitely plan to attend. You have to support Denver's local authors, after all - not to mention the local bars. I am nothing if not public spirited.
