    You're all invited to a Bunko Breakfast where we'll discuss the six career lessons nobody ever told you about.

    Don't know what a Bunko Breakfast is? Neither do I! But it's an event started by Daniel Pink, the author of the manga business book The Adventures of Johnny Bunko. People gather to discuss the six career lessons from the book or anything they want.

    You can watch the trailer for the book here: http://tinyurl.com/6eekxa

    You can also read the first 61 pages here: http://tinyurl.com/6py6o8

    A trivia contest will be held to give away 6 copies of the book. It'll be open to people who sign up for the event. The chopsticks will be raffled off during the event itself.

    Visit http://bunkobreakfast.multiply.com/ for more details.
