Thanks to everyone who stopped by John Christiansen’s book signing event yesterday at Streetcar 82 Brewing Co.! It was such a treat to be out in the community celebrating John's book VIBRANT MOSAIC, and chatting with book (and beer) lovers, neighbors, colleagues, and friends old and new.

Outdoor beer garden with sun shade sails, string lights, and picnic tables. There are groups of people in lively conversation, and in the background is a colorful graphic mural. There are ominous clouds in the sky.

Author John Christiansen is seated at a table signing a book for a woman who is standing in front of the table.
