R.T. Rybak book launch for Pothole Confidential at First Avenue on April 13
Minneapolis, MN, March 4, 2016 — Former Mayor R.T. Rybak will celebrate the launch of his new memoir, Pothole Confidential: My Life as Mayor of Minneapolis, with a night of local music, highlights from the book, and a book signing on Wednesday, April 13, 2016 at First Avenue in Minneapolis.
The 18+ event starts at 7:00 PM. Tickets are $10 and will be a fundraiser to support the City of Minneapolis STEP-UP youth employment program.
Rybak will give a behind-the-scenes tour of his years running the city of Minneapolis in between songs from featured musical acts:
Big Trouble + dVRG
With Special Guest Lucy Michelle and more TBA
Plus the World's Most Dangerous Polka Band
A signing with Rybak will follow the show and books will be available for purchase from Magers & Quinn Booksellers. Sebastian Joe's will be offering free ice cream scoops to attendees, including Rybak's favorite, The Flavor Formerly Known as Nicollet Avenue Pothole.
Pothole Confidential is a clear-eyed look inside the life and times of Minneapolis and its dynamic three-term mayor. In the words of Lizz Winstead, "This book is a love letter to Minneapolis and it tells the riveting story of what you must tackle to make and keep a city great." Rybak takes his readers into the highs and lows and the daily drama of a life inextricably linked with the city. Pothole Confidential is that rare document from a politician: one more concerned with the people he served and the issues of his time than with burnishing his own credentials.
