Best Bets for April 1-3 | THE BAINBRIDGE BLAB

A book launch party, a concert, a trunk show and "Ratatouille."

Downton Abbey may be over, but you’ll survive – especially curled up with local author Tessa Arlen’s Edwardian mystery. Celebrate the launch of “Death Sits Down to Dinner,” volume 2 of the lady Montfort mystery series, with a party at Eagle Harbor Books at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.

First Friday, you know the drill. Pick a starting gallery and stroll from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. A snack and a sip of wine may enhance your collector’s eye and creative interpretation. Of course, you could always ask the artist herself.

You heard the word right: Mondegreens and Thousands will play at Rolling Bay Hall at 8 p.m. Friday. Tickets to the California soul/rock’n’roll show cost $12 in advance.

Boho beads are designer Amy Margaret’s specialty. At her BIMA Trunk Show, noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, load up on prayer malas, tassel bracelets and dagger earrings.

Afterward, meander to the museum’s showing of “Ratatouille,” the second installment in its smARTfilms series, “Food on Film.” Tickets are $10.
