It's the end of an era--but that means there's something new coming right around the corner (okay, more like in East Village). We are saying goodbye to our beloved AGM, Frank, who has spent too many nights behind the stick and on the floor to count, but what we can quantify is how he always made his guests feel like they were the most special ones in the room. Frank is moving on from Craft & Commerce] to man the compound of 8th & G as GM of and , and we couldn't think of a better person for the job.

That means we have a lot of leopard print to fill with a new AGM at Craft & Commerce]. If you have half as charming a smile and the hospitality to match, send your resume to [email protected].

Today’s announcement is one of the favorites we’ve made in a long while. The passion one. The giddy one. ⁠

SDM and CH Projects have started a book club. Because we love the almighty profanity out of books, and no one ever died thinking, "I should've read less." ⁠

We’re partnering with some of San Diego’s great independent bookstores, hoping our literary scheme will drive you into their lovely arms. Indie bookstores are the marrow in a city’s bones. Sentence churches. Long thoughts from thinkers. Ray Bradbury’s in there. Toni Morrison, too. Vonnegut, Didion, some unfamous person who wrote like a hurricane for one book and then vanished, great voices the world hasn’t yet discovered. ⁠

In a modern age where we do what the bloop and bleep tells us, books are Airbnbs for your brain. ⁠

We are not above bribery to do our part in this book revolution. If you join our club, and show proof that you bought it from a participating local, indie bookstore—each month we’ll randomly select one member to get a $300 gift card to any of the  locations (Craft & Commerce, Seneca, Born & Raised, Ironside, Neighborhood, etc.). ⁠

Keep your eyes on the next issue of San Diego Mag (September) for the first book. A book that altered us in weird and great ways. ⁠

In coming months, we’ll beautify your feed with bookstore glamour shots. But for now, here are the bookstores that we’ve partnered with: ⁠

📍The Book Catapult 📸 ⁠
📍Verbatim Books  .books  📸 ⁠
📍Warwick’s 📸 ⁠
📍La Playa Books 
📍Diesel Books 
📍Bay Books Coronado 

Email [email protected] to join the club and get the full list of participating stores. And if you own a bookstore and would like to join us, reach out.
