by | Jun 19, 2024

Calling all bibliophiles and literature enthusiasts! Mark your calendars for a celebratory occasion you won’t want to miss. Sidetrack Bookshop, a haven for book lovers in Royal Oak, Michigan, is turning two, and they’re throwing a birthday bash you won’t forget! Join the festivities on Saturday, June 22nd, from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM EDT, and get ready for a day filled with literary fun, bookish treasures, and even the chance to commemorate your love of reading with a permanent reminder!

A Celebration of Stories and Community

Sidetrack Bookshop isn’t just a store; it’s a vibrant community hub for everyone who cherishes the magic of books. Their second birthday celebration promises to be a day brimming with excitement for readers of all ages. Test your literary knowledge and sharpen your reflexes with a thrilling game of book pong! Who knows, you might just walk away with a free book and bragging rights!

Limited Edition Birthday Swag Alert!

Looking to commemorate this momentous occasion and add a touch of bookish flair to your wardrobe? Sidetrack has you covered! Get your hands on their exclusive, limited-edition birthday tote bags, featuring a brand-new design to add to their collection. These stylish totes are the perfect way to show off your love for Sidetrack Bookshop and carry your favorite reads in style. Remember, quantities are limited, so don’t miss out!

Ink Your Love for Literature with Bookish Tattoos!

This year’s birthday celebration takes things a step further with a unique collaboration with Fourth Street Tattoo. From 2:00 PM to 8:00 PM, talented tattoo artists will be on hand to create one-of-a-kind bookish flash tattoos! Choose from a curated selection of 2″x2″ designs that capture the essence of your literary passion. Whether you’re a fantasy fanatic or a poetry devotee, there’s a design waiting to be etched onto your skin, forever marking your love for the written word.

Important Tattoo Details: Be Prepared!

While the allure of a permanent, bookish reminder is undeniable, there are a few crucial details to keep in mind. Tattoos are $100, and cash is the only accepted form of payment. These commemorative designs will be adorning arms and legs, so choose your placement wisely.

Here’s the key takeaway: appointments are necessary, and they can only be secured in person at the store on the day of the event. While RSVPing on Eventbrite helps gauge overall interest, it doesn’t guarantee a tattoo slot. Sign-ups for appointments kick off at 1:00 PM at Sidetrack Bookshop, so get there early to secure your spot! Remember, there are a limited number of appointments available, and only those who sign up in person will be tattooed.

Embrace the Literary Spirit: Celebrate with Sidetrack!

Sidetrack Bookshop’s 2nd birthday is more than just a party; it’s a celebration of the enduring power of books and the magic they bring to our lives. Join the festivities, test your bookish knowledge, snag a limited-edition tote, and maybe even commemorate your love of reading with a permanent reminder. Head down to Sidetrack Bookshop on June 22nd and be a part of this exciting literary celebration!
