Movable Type is a mixer with a bewitchingly simple premise: Bring the book you’re reading to the bar. Buy a drink. Talk to a stranger about the book they brought. Be ready to talk about the book you brought. (Genres spotted at past Movable Types include mysteries, poetry, sci-fi, classics, philosophy, and biographies of bookstore cats.) Buy more drinks. Repeat. How often in Seattle do you get a chance to be in a space that gives you permission to strike up a conversation with a total stranger based on the book they’re carrying? Come try it; it’s fun! (Vermillion, 1508 11th Ave, facebook.com/movabletypemixer, 7:30 pm, free)
