Last night we had a good turnout attend the Bob Mankoff (cartoons editor of The New Yorker) talk at the Small Press Center. Then we hit the Blue Bar at the Algonquin and ran up a $200+ bar tab! Yeah! So here is the schedule for the rest of the series of “The New Yorker Here and Now” at their library at 20 West 44th, which resumes after the holidays:
1/18 – Hendrik Hertzberg (politics)
2/8 – David Remnick (he’s the king, you know) New Yorker 70th anniversary cocktail party
3/1 – Adam Gopnik (culture)
4/5 – Susan Morrison and Secret Talk of the Town Writers
The talks are at 6 and cost $15. You can skip the talks and go straight to the bar (like Betsy & Jess did), which would be at around 7:30. But these talks are really terrific. And so is the Blue Bar. It’s a perfect place to meet and talk, exchange wisecracks… Last night we met MaryAnn Johanson, better known as The Flick Filosopher.
See you soon….
