Autumn Notes
It's officially Fall in San Francisco- time to put your clothes back on, can the last of your tomatoes and finish knitting that scarf you started last winter.
We've been busy at Red Hill Books too- when you visit us next, you may notice that a lot of things have been moved around (yes, the couch is still here, never fear!). If you can't find your favorite section, don't be afraid to ask us to point you in the right direction. We hope you'll agree that the changes are for the better; we love how much more open the store already feels.
We've pared down the events schedule this month, which means that although all your favorite Sunday bands will be playing their regular schedule, we won't be doing a Full Moon Concert for October. We will, however, have a fabulous mystery writer reading from her new book on Halloween Eve (Halloween-een?), and we will be handing out treats on Red Hill's front steps starting at dusk on Halloween. We also have a ton of great events planned for . . .
Bernal Heights Outdoor Cinema, Baby

1-minute video in a 24-hour time period. A screening of the participants' work
follows with the best of the contestants' work to be . . .
Story Hour is Now Three Mornings a Week at Red Hill
Nothing like getting the day started with a good story and a song or two.
Every Wednesday at 10am, all the kids can count on Patrick Sosa to provide the best show on Cortland Avenue as Story Hour continues with Cherrios, board books and the hokey pokey! Patrick's always got a good story to tell!
Every Tuesday and Thursday at 10am, artist, itinerant librarian, and longtime Bernal neighbor, Valerie Reichert gets everybody reading, clapping and singing along. We are happy and we know it.
We'll Trade Ya!
Huzzah! Making Cortland Avenue the Grand Trunk Road of Bernal Heights, we've got trade for your books happenin' again at Red Hill. So thanks for your patience as we took a deep breath and picked apart the shelves so you can get cherry picked editions for your summer reading! So bring it in!
Let's see what you've got! Cause we always love a good trade.
Happy Pride Everybody!!
Just a quick note to say we hope everyone continues the spirit of Pride Week everyday.
It's been so great to hear people greet each other with "Happy Pride!"

Octomutt
Ted Savarese on guitar and Ashley Adams on upright bass make for esoteric lullabies, David Lynch does showtunes and seriously whimsical beauty.
"There's a definite down home, earthy feel to Octomutt's music -- seeming very casual and off the cuff -- however an occasional detour into more trippy, eccentric territory is certainly not out of the question. "
-Aquarius Records
Each project is treated in a unique way and utilizes other instrumentalists accordingly for color and texture. As friend and fellow musician Amy Molinelli says, Octomutt “sounds like San Francisco—like its skyline, like its angles, like its hills.”

Heller Highwater
Heller Highwater have become Red Hill Sunday favorites. They are: John Heller on guitar and vocals, Mike Mechanic on guitar and vocals, Andrew Waegel on banjo, dobro and vocals and Chris Xiques on bass and vocals. Four part harmonies from four fabulous musicians... for a bunch o' Berkeley hillbillies.
Tony's Pick
Netherland
Just finished "Netherland" and wanted to jot down a few impressions.
One is that I enjoyed reading this novel very much. O'Neill's
descriptive powers are awesome and images he creates linger on. The
title "Netherland" refers to Holland, where the narrator [and the
author] grew up, and also to New York State, which was the former
Dutch colony "New Netherland." But "Netherland" also means literally
"low land," as in the French term for Belgium and Holland "les pays
bas." This is the nadir of Hans van der Broek's life: his lawyer wife
has taken his son back to her parents' home in England, fleeing NYC in
the wake of the 9-11 attacks. [Her criticisms of the U.S. response to
these attacks are severe.] Hans wanders the island of Manhattan, lost
in his reveries of his childhood in Holland and his failed marriage,
until by chance he's reunited with an old beloved hobby from his
youth: the game of cricket. Thus enters the transitional figure Chuck
Ramkissoon, who . . .
