public editorial function
Leading up to the weekend, we made many enthusiastic suggestions for readers looking to have a good time. As a gesture to accountability, we provide a brief review below.
Early in the week, we raved about the potential of the corn maze. Even in the rain, it exceeded expectations. Go before it’s too late! No comment on the alt-publication parties. We regret that they didn’t fit into our tight schedule. Both of the author events were worthwhile and thoroughly enjoyable. I suspect there’s something hypnotic about being read to as an adult that causes overcomsumption of books. For instance, Stephen Elliott convinced us that it was a moral obligation to buy his new book, Looking Forward to It [$], and so far this seems like a fair assessment. Finally, for those of you who took our recommendation to see the Lashes, we regret any disappointment you may have felt upon arriving at Chop Suey to find that they were too busy being whisked off to NYC to hobnob with big time record execs at CMJ to play their scheduled show. But, since Ben is one of the only people who’s recognized me from my weblog, we wish the band all the best.
From the looks of your website, you were at the fabulous H-O-W/Eggers reading at Elliot Bay this weekend, which I find a little eerie since I was also there and probably sat right next to you without even knowing it.
So how about that movie?!
yeah. it was certainly something special. I suggested to Dave that if they were having trouble finding the right director for A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius it might be worth giving Toph a shot since he clearly has some skills in the filmmaking department.
