February Readings
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

Do you ever come to DC?

I would definitely come to all of these if I lived in New York and the last two if I lived anywhere except that I’m going on a business trip. basically I’m sad right now.

Thanks, Julie!
Rose–I don’t come to DC a lot, but who knows!
And I’m sorry you can’t come, Chris, but thanks for the very nice comment!

That sounds fucking awesome. Emily Gould and you!!! yes! I think there will be a line down the block to get into that one.
someone should write what would happen if there was a Zimmerman family reunion tour, featuring Edith Zimmerman, virtuoso pianist and USA denouncer Krystian Zimerman, and Bob Dylan.

I found your blog tonight and have been reading it obsessively for 2 hours. I found myself laughing out loud several times, which is unusual because I am a very serious person. I have only made it halfway through 2007, but so far the “funky boots” and “blueberries” were my favorites. My dog thinks I’m crazy. Anyway… thx. If you come to Louisville, KY (like maybe for Derby) let me know and I’ll put you up, but only if you tell me jokes and juggle flatware for my amusement.

Thanks, cyberfly! If i make it to Louisville, you will be the first to know! Or at least one of the first 10! Anyway, thanks for reading. ‘Blueberries’ has a special place in my heart, too. Glad you liked it.

i definitely think if you get a minute you should do another thing (keeping this vague so whatever you do i can pretend i am the impetus)

Ha, thanks, Andrew! I keep trying to write things, but they’re all extra horrible. Hopefully something soon! Thank you!!
