Like happily wandering through the city at night, hitting galleries and literary talks, sliding into an old theater showing movie shorts, sharing a beer with your graduate student friend who nerds out over their latest obsession/revelation – it was several nights of culture condensed into a couple hours. From sidebar ephemera to emotionally resonant material, everything was compelling. The event felt like a celebration of great writing and great radio with just a little bit of theater to entertain the eyes.
I can’t wait for the next one. In the meantime, it’s got me jonesing for a lazy day with a pile of magazines and a couple beers.
Some net-able highlights:
- Photography: Todd Hido Foreclosed Homes
- Interview: Megan Prelinger of the amazing Prelinger Library
- TV: Botany of Desire as PBS documentary
