My friend Christine was, as always, cool enough and generous enough to invite me with her to "Reading It: An Evening [which was odd, as it started at three in the afternoon] of Literary Comedy," hosted by Jonathan Ames and featuring Rob Siegel and Todd Hanson of The Onion, Andy Blitz, Oni Faida Lampley, and Amy Sedaris, Stephen Colbert and Paul Dinello of the late and lamented Strangers with Candy.
Two things are worth passing on from the extremely enjoyable [except for one lengthy interlude] afternoon: 1) If you ever have the choice between going to a Candace Bushnell (author of "Sex and the City") reading and jabbing knitting needles into your ears, give the latter option serious consideration; 2) Based on the excerpts they read, the upcoming Sedaris/Colbert/Dinello book [called "Wiggsville" or something like that] is gonna be the funniest damn thing you've ever read in your entire life, and you should be on line for it when the bookstores open. More details on it as they become available.
