Remember when Grandpa used to read the funny pages out loud to you? Well, that’s kind of what I’ll be doing at BookCourt. There may well be NutterButters (and peanut-free alternatives) for those in need of a late afternoon boost.

Join the East Village Inky, I Love Bad Movies and Washington DC’s Runcible Spoon for some pre-Zinefest festivities going down as part of the Brooklyn Museum’s First Saturday this April.
We’ll be bringing visual aids to help us gab about zines and also compiling a community-based cooking zine, available for download on the Brooklyn Museum’s website later this year. Come with recipes and any food based memories you’d care to document.

Are you up for some Brooklyn Zine Fest Afterparty Comic-centric Chicago-style action?
Great, so am I!
The East Village Inky is but one of many Brooklyn Zine Fest tablers who will be staying on for Brain Frame, a fantastic event on loan from Chicago. Can’t say what I’ll be doing just yet, but it’s likely to involve a projector and some technology-induced jitters.

Pitching in to Keep The New York Times Afloat

(everybody sing along!)
The thrill’s gonna getcha
When you see my picture
On the cover of the Rollin’ Stone…
Hardly. But I have been gigging a bit for the Gray Lady.
The online edition. Some folks think that’s steerage class, but I’d recommend taking a look at the ship’s layout before making assumptions about who’s going to drown first
Here’s an archive of that which the New York Times has seen fit to publish. Who cares how old this fish is? You can still leave a comment.

How to Preserve Pre-Digital Communication’s Most Pleasurable Rituals
Dare to be Heinie with Ayun Halliday!</>
A really neat opportunity fell into my lap recently. My assignment was to ask one question. Another art-loving soul would be charged with providing an answer. After which I would find out who the hell I was interviewing. My question:
How can we keep pre-digital communication’s most pleasurable rituals from becoming extinct?
If you’re not dazzled, inspired, and touched by artist Betsy Biggs’ incredible answer you need to log off the internet and get those presents back to Whoville, stat. Of special interest to those with a fondness for postcards and Providence. That’s all I’m sayin’…

Get Yourself Some Open Culture
Dare to be Heinie with Ayun Halliday!</>
I’ve got a sweet new gig, blogging for Open Culture, an insane source for free cultural & educational media on the web. So go ahead and learn yourself another language, take a complimentary college course, and feast on catch-free movies and music, and while you’re at it, we’d be much obliged if you’d leave a comment on any content that bears the byline of your addled cultural Virgil, our hero Ayun Halliday.
