This Evening
Big old Darin Strauss book party happening tonight (Monday) – Darin will read from his new book More than it Hurts You, Hodgman will read from his new book More Information than You Require, and I will trot out a few of the same old songs because I have no new book or anything. But there will be free wine.

Isn’t Lillian Vernon the pre-SkyMall SkyMall catalog? Or is this another Lillian Vernon?

It was both wonderful and a disaster. Hodgman killed, Darin’s excerpt sounded great, JoCo entertained unsuspecting listeners with Code Monkey and The Future Soon. OTOH, the amp didn’t work and the one tiny mic on the podium kept sliding down. I’m loading a video of Jonathan and Darin performing Paul Simon’s Slip Slidin’ Away right now.

Free wine and JoCo playing music? Sounds like a great time.

It was great indeed. But during “Sweet Caroline” I think I was the only one singing the Oh, oh, oh’s and “So good! So good! So good!” from the audience. Not a lot of Fenway faithful there I guess. Or even club goers from the early ’90’s.

I think I read Hodge-dude Twittering about people recording videos on their cell phones of the event (“Really? BOOTLEG LIT READINGS?”) so I am wondering then if anyone has uploaded videos of the event?

I always seem to miss out on the free wine.
