Found another great deal at the Miami Book Fair. Something called Twilight Tastings, that occur between readings and are sponsored by a different restaurant each night. Last night it was sponsored by Xixon Cafe, a tapas bar and restaurant on Coral Way. It was held in a beautiful building, with Corinthian columns and blue lighting inside. You got a ticket for a free drink (red wine) when you walked in and then they brought in a huge Paella, which they served with bread on little plates. The glasses of wine were reasonable ($4) if you wanted a second glass. We got ours to go and then walked over to another building to hear Isabella Rossellini talk about her latest project- Green Porno. You might be asking how Spanish cuisine ties in with the Blue Velvet actress speaking about the love life of insects (and fish). Well, not much but she is the daughter of Ingrid Bergman (Swedish actress) and Roberto Rossellini (Italian director) and you can't get much more disparate than that. And from that odd pairing, we got the stunning and intelligent actress, writer and director Isabella, so somehow it all works out.
