Short Story Cocktail Club
My friends and I have devised a plan to start a Short Story Club. We don’t want to do a Book Club because we know ourselves and know that we would never read one. I mean, I’ve read books. Ha ha, of course I’ve read books! Like, um. That one book. The Seven People You Meet On Tuesdays Time Traveler’s Wife. I LOVE that book! But books are long and we want to meet more...
You Won't
My new favorite band of the moment is called You Won’t. They’re from Boston, which makes me double love them, because it’s so rare (recently) that a great band comes from Boston.

My Three-Month Facebook Dialogue With A Scammer... →
My friend and fellow McSweeney’s contributer Teddy Wayne wrote this. That is, he wrote to a “woman” named Claire Anrie who friend-ed him on Facebook, and “she” wrote back. It’s hilarious. One of my favorite exchanges in it is this:
Teddy Wayne: Come to New York! We have many restaurants, discotheques, nightclubs.
Claire Anrie: can you accommodate me?

Wheelhouse extra: I recently moved to Los Angeles from New York. My mom lives in Hartford, CT, where I grew up, so I used to take Amtrak to Hartford at least twice a month to visit her. Bless Amtrak, I’m glad it exists, otherwise I would have had to do something...
