Unless you live under a rock, you know the name Roger Stone. But before his name was synonymous with Robert Mueller, WikiLeaks and Donald Trump, Stone was best known as a Washington, D.C. insider and political “dirty trickster.”

When Stone visited the Tattered Cover back in 2014, there was no mention of hacked emails or Hillary Clinton. On that day, his targets were John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and John Dean, the former White House Counsel for President Richard Nixon.

John Hickenlooper was inaugurated as the governor of Colorado in 2011. The first professional geologist to become a governor in the history of the nation and the first brewer since Sam Adams in 1792, he previously served as mayor of Denver, an administration for which Time magazine named him one of the five top big-city mayors in America. He chairs the National Governor’s Association and was named one of Esquire‘s “Americans of the Year 2012.” Governor Hickenlooper reads from and discusses his new memoir The Opposite of Woe: My Life in Beer & Politics, his candid, and very funny story, from early loss to college on the ten-year plan, to remarkable business and political success.
