GOOD! he was signing books after the show and i wished i had brought my copy of staggering genius. |

| lots of tension. a lot of people actually left at intermission once the readings were over. the sex show started out with "older" and "the ballad of timothy mcsweeny," which i hadn't heard before. there was a foreboding podium on stage left. after the two songs dave eggers came out, and he an john flansburgh sex gave a hilarious explanation about how the mcsweenys / tmbg collaboration came about. then dave introduced sex this social commentator person named sarah vowell, who gave a talk about her morbid fascination with the darker parts of american history, particularly the salem witch trials (did you know that the founder of salem was john flansburgh's 12th great grandfather?). the band was on stage the whole time, and they played a song called "gallows hill and andersonville" which was based on her monologue when she was done. they then played another song, after which sarah came back and introduced zadie smith, an author, who read a non-comedic short story of hers called "the girl with bangs." |
