I 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.
