Join us at Clockshop on Saturday, September 21 from 3:00 to 5:00 PM for the book launch of Everything Is All Very Nice, a limited edition collection of poetry written by David Thorne. The poems in this book (terse, long-winded, genuine, and accurate if somewhat snarky takes on the LA food scene) were originally embedded in emails that went out regularly to elysian diners, fans and haters.

Enjoy small bites and refreshments from ex-elysian cooks and a Q&A session between Thorne and Evan Kleiman as we celebrate the restaurant and chef that has nourished Clockshop as we have grown. Ticket price will get you admission, food and drinks, and a copy of the poetry book.

If you can not attend, pre-order a copy of Everything Is All Very Nice here.
