Actor Ed Begley Jr.’s Meet and Greet at the Raven!

Actor Ed Begley Jr. is a judge in the Healdsburg International Short Film Festival and will be in attendance this year. Meet him at the Raven on Saturday, September 27th.

Copperfield’s is presenting a book-signing “meet and greet” at the Raven with actor Ed Begley Jr., who is a judge in the Healdsburg International Short Film Festival. The book-signing is part of the HISFF, which runs from September 26th-September 28th.

Begley’s heartfelt memoir, To the Temple of Tranquility…And Step On It!, offers a fountain of hilarious and poignant stories about his improbable life. The memoir is candid and endearing; in one chapter, he is summoned to Marlon Brando’s house to discuss the practical uses of electric eels. In another, he tells the story of taking Annette Bening to the Oscars in “an oddball kit-car that had gull wing doors, and was nearly impossible to get in or out of, unless you were a yoga master, which fortunately she was.” Not to mention insightful and surprising tales about The Beatles, Monty Python, Richard Pryor, Cesar Chavez, Jeff Goldblum, Tom Waits, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Carrie Fisher, and so many more luminaries.

Begley’s unmistakable voice is honest and revealing in a way that only a comic of his caliber can accomplish. Behind all the stories, Begley has wisdom to impart. This is a book about family, friends, addiction, failure, and redemption.

Drop by The Raven on Saturday, September 27 from 6:00 – 7:00pm to meet the author, grab a picture and get your books signed! Books will be available for purchase and signing, but it’s best to order your copy ahead of time from Copperfield’s.
