Quick note—I’m doing two readings in the next couple weeks:

Paper Cone Stories on Wednesday, April 28, from 8 - 10pm, at Jack’s Stir Brew in the West Village. It’s free, there will be beers and mimosas (exclusively? I’m not sure), and the other readers are Bob Powers, Leon Neyfakh, Akiva Gottlieb, and Chris Fleming. RSVP here, or just click there for more info.

Big Terrific on Wednesday, May 5, from 8:30 - 10:30pm, at Cameo in Williamsburg. It’s free, there will be all kinds of food and drink because it is a bar/restaurant, and I’m not sure who the other performers will be, but the show should be awesome, because it is the “best stand-up in NYC,” according to New York magazine, which also happens to be the place I now work, although I had nothing to do with that.

OK, that’s it—I’m just going to be reading stuff from here, I think, or maybe from the Awl or the one thing I wrote for the Huffington Post. Nothing too exciting, but it’d be awesome if people came! And if you do, please say hi!

Hi! I’m doing a handful of readings this month:

-Wednesday, February 3: Big Terrific comedy show, hosted by Gabe Liedman and Max Silvestri, at Cameo in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Doors at 8pm, show at 8:30pm. Other performers include Kristen Schaal, Joe Randazzo, and Julian McCullough. Free.

-Tuesday, February 9: Get Off Your Knees comedy show, hosted by Sara Schaefer, at the Bell House, in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Show at 8pm. I believe it will be $5, and I’m not sure who the other performers are!

-Sunday, February 14: Heartbreak Hotel Valentine’s Day show, hosted by Jon Friedman, also at the Bell House, in Gowanus, Brooklyn. Show at 8pm. Other performers include so many people, and then it turns into a party! Not sure if what it costs. It might be $5? Or free. Or maybe $10.

-Thursday, February 18: Steamboat literary humor series, hosted by Scott Jacobson, Jason Reich, and Bob Powers, at Greenlight Bookstore, in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. I don’t know much about this one, but I’m pretty sure it’s happening, and I think it’s at 7:30pm and is free.

-Friday, February 19: Tumblr Reads: Internet Writers IRL. There’s a whole bunch of awesome people reading here, like Choire Sicha and Julie Klausner and Matt Gallaway and Emily Gould, and it’s at Housingworks Bookstore, in Soho. An open bar starts at 6:30pm, and then the show starts at 7:30pm. I think it’s free.

ANYWAY, obviously I’m just going to be reading the same five stories at all of these, all of which you can read for free here, but if you’re not doing anything and feel so inclined, please do come by and say hi
