Friday, July 26th: Touch ’Em All Reading

Travis Parker Smith’s new book is about his attempts to see a baseball game in every single Major League ballpark. This reading comes with hot dogs cooked out on the bookstore’s patio, which is perhaps the most summer-y reading I’ve ever heard of. Queen Anne Book Company, 1811 Queen Anne Ave N., 284-2427, http://qabookco.com, 7 pm, free.
