*"January Cold came in from two rivers, formed four walls around Hart and
closed in on him." --Black Friday*
The night of January 25 is the anniversary of the death of David Loeb Goodis
according to the Hebrew Calendar. In honor of the Great Philadelphia Noir
Writer, Louis Boxer and Aaron Finestone are staging a gathering to remember
David Goodis on the afternoon of January 25 at Roosevelt Memorial Park, 2701
Old Lincoln Highway, Trevose, PA 19053 (215-673-7500), just over the Bucks
County line from Philadelphia.
The grave is located at Section B-3, Lot 324, Grave 3.
After David's funeral, friends gathered at the Toddle House to remember
David's outrageous humor and recount his devoted friendship. The Toddle
House---at Broad and Belfield Streets in Logan---is now a vacant lot. We
will re-enact the apres-funeral lunch at the Club House Diner, 2495 Street
Road (between Knights and Mechanicsville Road, 215-639-4287) in Bensalem, a
few minutes from Roosevelt Cemetery.
The memorial begins at 2 p.m. The luncheon begins at 3 p.m.
At graveside we will read excerpts from David Goodis' coldest, most gripping
works.
If you would be interested in attending, would you please email us (*
lboxer1@gmail.com* <lboxer1@gmail.com> and
*microbrewjournalism@gmail.com*<microbrewjournalism@gmail.com>).
Your email would not be binding. We just want to give an estimate to the
restaurant.
What better way to spend a cold January afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing you January 25.
