Magic, Mystery, & Condoleeza Rice

And they're celebrating it right now.
From 11:30am to 1:30pm, Austin's indispensable independent bookstore BookPeople is throwing a 40th anniversary party with magic shows, face painting, a birthday cake, commemorative T-shirts (only $5!), and special presentations on the third floor from BookPeople's book buyers.
While you're there, you can also swing by the store's new MysteryPeople section, devoted to – natch – all things mystery. You can also get in line for a wristband to tonight's event, when Condoleeza Rice reads from her new memoir Extraordinary Ordinary People at 7pm.
