Expect laughs\, a little spookiness\, and lots of feel good moments! This event is perfect for young readers\, families\, and anyone who knows that the best monsters have the biggest hearts.

Stay for the message: there’s no such thing as too different to belong. \n  \nAbout Authors Don and Alex Hicks\nDon Hicks is an author\, inventor\, musician\, and father to three children who don’t like to go to bed early. He is also the owner of the Blue LLama Jazz Club & Restaurant in Ann Arbor. \nAlex Hicks is a boy who loves all things Halloween\, scary stories\, soccer\, and staying up late. \nThe one thing that could get Alex to stay in bed and get some sleep is an original story. Over the course of several years\, Alex would ask for a new story each night. Every evening\, Don would create the next chapter of an adventure. Out of this bedtime collaboration\, the adventures of Frankenwalnut\, Cassius Cashew\, inside and beyond the village of Walnuttia\, came to life. \nDon and Alex live with their family\, mother and wife Anaïs\, and daughters and siblings Maddie and Chloé\, in places as magical as the world they created\, whether in Paris\, Key West\, or Ann Arbor\, Michigan. \n  \nAPPETIZER MENU\nMonster Macaroni & Cheese (V)\nOur Roadhouse Kid’s Mac & Cheese made with Munster cheese. \nBloody Brains & Poached Eye Balls\nSpaghetti Marinara & Meatballs (we can make a vegetarian version by request). \nVomiting Pumpkin (V\, GF) \nFresh homemade guacamole and freshly fried tortilla chips. \nVegetable Crudité (V\, GF)\nServed with ranch. \nZingerman’s Bakehouse Sugar Cookies (V)\nIn fun Halloween shapes!

SUMMARY:Ari's Pamphlet Event: Why Democracy Matters
DESCRIPTION:Democracy isn’t just something we vote for—it’s something we practice every day.\nTuesday\, October 27th\, 6pm-8pm | $45\nWhat does democracy have to do with the way we work\, the way we lead\, the way we treat one another\, and the communities we build? \nQuite a lot\, according to Zingerman’s co-founding partner Ari Weinzweig. \nJoin us as Omari Rush\, executive director of CultureSource in Detroit\, interviews Ari about his newest pamphlet\, Why Democracy Matters: A Deep Understanding of What Democracy Means in Our Everyday Lives\, published by Zingerman’s Press. Drawing on decades of experience building democratic practices at Zingerman’s\, Ari makes the case that democracy is not something that happens only at the ballot box or in the halls of government. It begins much closer to home—with how we listen\, participate\, share responsibility\, build trust\, and honor the dignity of others. \nWritten during what Ari describes as a defining moment for democracy\, Why Democracy Matters is both a reflection and a call to action. Rather than looking from the top down\, Ari asks us to look at democracy from the ground up: in our workplaces\, our organizations\, our communities\, and our everyday relationships. \nThe pamphlet brings together ten essays exploring Ari’s developing understanding of democratic practice\, the ways Zingerman’s has put those principles to work\, and his realization that practicing dignity across an organization is\, in itself\, an expression of democracy. \nAs Ari writes\, “What I’m imagining here is a democracy that starts not with political candidates but with people like you and me.” \nThe included delicious Roadhouse snacks feature apricot\, the symbol of democracy! Come by to enjoy them\, and hear Ari in conversation about the ideas behind Why Democracy Matters\, the lessons Zingerman’s has learned over decades of democratic practice\, and the practical ways each of us can help bring those principles to life—because democracy isn’t just a system we inherit. It is something we make—and remake—together\, every day. \n  \nMENU\nButtermilk Biscuits (V)\nWith American Spoon apricot jam and Vermont Creamery cultured butter.\n\nChicken & Apricot Pyrizhki\nFried Ukrainian hand pies.\n\nAssorted Zingerman’s Candy Zzang! Bars (V)\nFeaturing new Ecuadorian Conexión Chocolate!
