Anthony Bourdain will be at the Landmark Theater on Thursday, April 22nd at 8:00 PM.

Creekside Books will serve as the bookseller for this entertaining event!

Bio: Anthony Bourdain is a 28-year veteran of
professional kitchens, having worked as a dishwasher, line cook and chef
in places good, bad and horrible -- most of them in New York City. In
2000, he published a memoir of his experiences in the culinary
underbelly. Kitchen Confidential became an unlikely, but enduring,
international bestseller.

He has since milked that lucky break for everything it's worth,
following up with the gonzo-travel diary, A Cook's Tour; a historical
account of the notorious turn-of-the-century cook and disease carrier,
"Typhoid Mary"; the crime novels "A Bone in the Throat," "Gone Bamboo"
and "The Bobby Gold Stories"; "The Les Halles Cookbook"; a collection of
essays entitled The Nasty Bits; and the companion book to the Travel
Channel series, No Reservations.

Since embarking on a round-the-world trip for "A Cook's Tour," he has
continued traveling for No Reservations (now in its fifth season), for
various publications, for public-speaking engagements and because he
likes it. He lives in New York City with his wife, Ottavia, and his
daughter, Ariane.

Nurse Megan FitzGerald shares her experiences working in “Haiti, After the Quake” 

  Pediatric nurse practitioner and local resident, Megan FitzGerald, shares her experiences working with two different non-governmental organization in Haiti providing disaster relief and medical care to victims of the earthquake.  Members of the community have asked how they can help so Megan and Creekside Books & Coffee are working together to provide a presentation and slide show to describe the situation in Haiti and discuss ways that residents can help.  Megan was a member of Crudems first trauma team in to treat victims of the earthquake at Hopital Sacre Coeur in Milot, 90 miles north of Port-au-Prince. Earthquake victims were brought in by the US Navy, Coastquard and the French.  She moved on to Project Hope on board of the USNA Comfort Ship which is a 1,000 bed floating hospital I the harbour of Port-au-Prince.  She will return for a third trip to the USS Comfort, another Navy hospital ship anchored off the coast of Haiti. Her photos from her trips show the dire circumstances that many Haitian’s endured. “Ninety percent of the children had traumatic injuries,” Megan said. “They weren’t scrapes. Building had been falling on these little kids.” Many children died due because they were unable to receive care in time.  After everything she’d seen, Megan faced a simple choice, “You give in to despair, or you try to save more children.”  For more information, please view an article printed by Sean Kirst in the Post Standard on Feb. 10, 2010. “Suffering of little children pulls her back” (to Haiti).  http://www.syracuse.com/kirst/index.ssf/20010/02/suffering_of_little_children_p.htmlMeghan
