The Paul Von Drasek Members Lounge
Members of Rain Taxi are invited to stop by this private area for a fun moment of respite and engagement. This feature of the Festival is named after Paul Von Drasek, our beloved Board Chair who passed away on May 16, 2021. Paul not only championed our membership program, but threw his whole being into making Rain Taxi’s annual Twin Cities Book Festival a happy day for all—“the best day of the year,” as he joyfully called it in this video. It’s for this reason that we dedicate our TCBF Members Lounge in his name.
