by Ashley Lopez November 17, 2023
written by Ashley Lopez

Venice Beach, CA — The New Bar at 1821 South Lincoln Blvd. was the place to be at to kick start the the lively book launch party for Hilary Sheinbaum’s latest work, “A Journal for Bad Days” on the evening of Thursday, November 16.

As the sun began to set over Venice Beach, the bar buzzed with anticipation. Guests were welcomed to an intimate gathering promising good vibes, a chance to indulge in delectable non-alcoholic sips, and an exclusive Q&A session with the author herself.

The evening kicked off with a casual mingling session, where attendees enjoyed the refreshing NA sips provided by The Free Spirits Company, Surely (wines), and Grüvi (beer). The atmosphere was infused with excitement as guests approached the bar to order the drinks of their choice. From cocktails to drinks by the glass there were a variety of selections to choose from.

Author Hilary Sheinbaum, a beacon of warmth and enthusiasm, personally welcomed guests to the event as they made their way inside of the bar. As the mingling continued, the air was filled with the delightful aroma of snacks courtesy of Methodology, adding a culinary touch to pair along this stimulating environment.

The highlight of the evening unfolded as Hilary invited guests to participate in a unique Q&A session. Attendees eagerly submitted their burning questions into the designated bowl. Hilary, embodying the spirit of her book, randomly selected five questions and shared her insights, creating a direct and personal connection with her audience.

The questions ranged from the inspiration behind “A Journal for Bad Days” to Hilary’s writing process and the book’s overarching themes. The Q&A not only provided a deeper understanding of the author’s journey but also allowed guests to feel actively involved in the literary discourse.

The mingling resumed after what was such an enlightening Q&A. This allowed the setting for conversations to flourish within the author and guests. As the night drew to a close, guests were handed thoughtfully curated goodie bags, as a token of appreciation for their presence and participation in the celebration. The bags contained surprises that mirrored the essence of “A Journal for Bad Days,” leaving attendees with a tangible reminder of the magical evening.

Hilary Sheinbaum’s book launch party for “A Journal for Bad Days” was not just an event; it was a vibrant tapestry woven with literary passion, insightful discussions, and coastal camaraderie. The New Bar in Venice Beach served as the perfect canvas for this literary masterpiece to unfold, offering attendees an unforgettable experience to remember.

The play brings together Greta (Golden Globe nominee Marilu Henner), a longtime ACLU donor on Manhattan’s Upper West Side, and Tanner (Emmy nominee Shannon Purser), the young representative sent to secure a substantial contribution. While initially united by progressive values, their conversation quickly exposes a widening generational and ideological rift.

Henner and Purser deliver performances that keep an ideological debate grounded in recognizable human emotion.
