This Evening
June 23rd, 2008
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.
Monday, June 23
7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
58 W. 10th St.
Lillian Vernon Writers House
58 W 10th St, New York, NY, 10011
(Between 5th and 6th Avenues)
Any chance for Rainbow Connection?
KIDDING! IM KIDDING! Don’t hit!
Isn’t Lillian Vernon the pre-SkyMall SkyMall catalog? Or is this another Lillian Vernon?
Damn, too bad I’m not in New York tonight!
Why don’t I live in New York??
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.
JoCo & Darin Strauss: Slip Slidin’ Away
hai JoCo,
Boston misses you. we’re sorry for whatever we did to keep you away, plz come back?
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?
Uh Roman ..4 posts above you? There was someone else who got all four songs on the YouTubes as well.

Ah, if only I knew how to read. Thanks Mitch, and also Jmonkee.
Was everything at the Lillian Vernon writer’s house monogrammed?
I always seem to miss out on the free wine.
