This is inspired by a man who used to show up at a 24/hr diner near me dressed as Edgar Allen Poe at 4am to just read by himself and have some coffee.

He's seemed to have stopped going out, but I was hoping to extend the community to others! You can come as a literary person, a philosopher, or other thinker. Please, if …
