Power is a good thing. Especially when you have it, which—right now—we don’t. Polite Provisions and Fortunate Son will be closed tonight due to a power outage. Stay strong. Light a candle for us. See you tomorrow.

We may be booked for Christmas Day reservations, but our pick-up window will be just as bustling as we’re offering take-out orders all day & night.

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.
