What happened to that Sure Juror post?????

does anyone else think that in the last year joanna newsom has changed how she looks completely. not just hair color or some lost weight, she literally looks like a different person. its really strange.

My girlfriend and I tried to get Jon Stewart tix at exactly 12 noon on ticketmaster. It didn't work for a few minutes (kept saying tix weren't on sale yet) and by 12:03 it was already sold out. WTF? Did anyone else have any luck? I was able to get New Pornos tickets though....

"Most tix sold out before this post ever went up."

yeah, thats what I get for trying to write an epic post describing the festivities, without considering that it better be finished before noon today.

If you're a real fan of literature (and 35 and under), the 92nd St Y is putting on a reading series that puts the New Yorker Festival lineup to shame. See the list of authors here:

Oh yeah, and tickets are $10 instead of $25-$50.

PS I got Borat tickets!

The New Pornographers event starts at 10 PM and is billed as "a conversation with music"? Something tells me that we won't get anywhere near $35 worth of music. Hell, it may turn out to be just A.C. Newman playing an acoustic guitar.

thanks for the heads up about the 92nd st Y events. i got all stoked when i saw wallace shawn's name, then realized that event is next february. oh well, its on the calendar now!
