mcsweeneys.gifI went to a McSweeney’s live show at Stanford a few years ago. It was a bunch of great authors: Zadie Smith, Dave Eggers, and others mashed up in an event with They Might be Giants. It was a culture-filled afternoon of pensive though and hedonistic rock. I highly recommended it at the time.

Now, McSweeney’s is doing a live show in NYC. Authors are:

  • John Hodgman of The Daily Show and author of The Areas of My Expertise
  • David Rakoff – author of Fraud and frequent contributor to This American Life
  • Joshua Davis – author of The Underdog
  • Rodney Rothman – former Letterman head writer

The live music is an all-star collective called Internet (I wanted to link to something about this band, but it’s impossible to search for “Internet” on Google… brutal disambiguation problem). Band members are:

  • Dan Boeckner & Hadji Bakara of Wolf Parade
  • Nick Diamonds of Islands
  • Syd Butler of Les Savy Fav

This show looks terrific; It’s on March 15 at Peter Jay Sharpe Theatre, and I’ll definitely be there.
