Interview
Here’s a transcription of a really long phone interview with Ken over at Quick Stop Entertainment. We talk about the end of Thing a Week, the beginning of John Hodgman, and I say several offensive/dumb things. You know, the usual. Thanks Ken!
You’re Next Chicago
This Monday October 2 I’ll be at the Chicago House of Blues (at the Back Porch actually – 329 North Dearborn St.) at 9:30 PM. Paul and Storm will be there as well, and will go on after me. Tickets are $7. Say what?! That’s right, $7. Chicago, do you think you have what it takes to outdo Boston? Because Boston is ON TOP OF IT.
Speaking of which, really great show last night Bostonians, thanks so much for coming out and being so fun. I’ll be back to your fair city on December 12th, this time at Johnny D’s with Paul and Storm.
But for now, there is Chicago…
Mark Twain
Well, last night was sort of the kickoff of this Hodgman tour, we did our little show at the Mark Twain museum in Hartford. Nice crowd, beautiful space, even a giant screen and a DVD player so I could do Flickr (the audience was all, “What the hell? Who’s Dwyer?”). And then I met a couple of ladies who grew up in my own hometown of Colchester, CT. Where tradition meets tomorrow, you know. This morning stumbled into a car when it was still dark so we could get to Boston in time to be on the NECN morning show. Tonight, Brookline Booksmith, and then my show at the Paradise Lounge.
Now, if you’ll allow me this, may I recommend: Dethroner. This is a new blog from Joel Johnson, at whose bloggage I used to laugh very hard when he was at Gizmodo. He describes Dethroner as “Maxim for MAKE readers” or “Men’s Vogue for Men,” and there certainly seems to be a lot of talk about manly things like beer and vests. Read it and weep.
See you tonight Boston…
Boston Show
Just a reminder – Paradise Lounge, 10:30 PM, Wednesday September 27. Last I checked Boston had the highest number of demanders at Eventful.com, so this could be a really big show. I will have Thing a Week One with me as well as Thing a Week Two, which just arrived this week. T-shirts – but of course.
Speaking of which, I need a volunteer to work the merch table for me. If you’re coming to the show and you’re pretty good at math and you promise not to steal all my money, send me an email via the contact link on my site and let’s get this party started.
And now: to Hartford.
