There may or may not be wedding cake available. \nThe event is FREE. Books will be for sale by Elliott Bay Book Company. \n\nSarah Galvin is the author of the Stranger newspaper’s Wedding Crasher column about attending weddings (which she was invited to\, though the name would suggest otherwise)\, among others. She has an MFA in poetry from the University of Washington\, and her first book of poems\, The Three Einsteins\, was published in October 2014 by Poor Claudia. \n\nDavid Schmader is a writer and performer whose solo plays include Straight and Letter to Axl. Since 2015\, he’s been the creative director of the award-winning nonprofit writing center for kids The Great Seattle Bureau of Fearless Ideas.
