When: Sunday, April 3rd, 2011, 10AM EST
Where: Reidy Friendship Hall, All Souls Church, E 80th & Lexington Avenue
Who: Victor Fidel is speaking and will thrill!

Details:
Come and learn about the historic architectural journey of All Souls Church: All Souls is the oldest Unitarian congregation in New York City, having been founded in 1819. During its long tenure the congregation has moved three times, been housed in four different buildings, and been known by three different names. What happened to those previous buildings? What kind of architecture did they represent? How did All Souls move throughout some of Manhattan’s historic neighborhoods? What does it say about New York and this congregation? All Souls’ gradual uptown migration merit’s a fresh investigation as a part of urban architectural history.

Thank you so much for your love & support!

Dear Friends, I would like to thank you so much for your support. My first ever book launch party was a success thanks to you. I just wanted to share some photos (Thank you Rubin for bringing your camera and shooting!). Here’s a mini-pictography:

Getting ready to sign the first Autograph of the evening. It’s a rush!

Look at one of our food tables; Heather and I got the goods from Pathmark on E 125th St! Grapes, shrimp, delectable cold-cuts and more…

Smiles, beauty, happy times…and chilled wine on the cups!

Back to signing! And with my signature Teal marker!

Discussion ensued on some of the controversial topics of this masterpiece.

The Great Forrest Church presides over the victuals; he always knows a good party.
The corned beef was a big hit as was the pepper-jack cheese!

Victor back to signing, this time for Valorie Dawson, a fellow author,
always a pleasure to sign for another author.

We had a good turn-out!
There was a moment when there was a line out the door, I was told!

Sitting, dining and flipping the pages!!

With Maria and Dave. Say cheese!

A classic picture. Here we are: The distinguished Melaney Mashburn smiles in the middle. The famed musician Rubin Ben holds my book. And I am holding Rubin Ben’s CD album, It’s All In My Head, that he just released. We produced our works of art at the same time, so I consider him, my artful brother.

I will be doing a talk on Sunday, April 3rd, 2011, 10am, All Souls Church, E 80th & Lexington Avenue, part of All Souls Adult Education, where I will discuss the book. Feel free to come!
