Thomas Pynchon Birthday Bash
Date: Sunday, May 4th
Time: 3:00pm
Location: Freebird Bookstore (123 Columbia St btw Kane & Degraw, Red Hook)
Cost: Free
Great American literary cipher Thomas Pynchon turns 71 today and the folks over at Freebird Books are celebrating with a backyard barbeque and fax-a-thon... " We'll dine on foodstuffs famously vomited by Gravity's Rainbow's Tyrone Slothrop: burgers, homefries, chef's salad with French dressing, Moxie, after-dinner mints, Clark bars, salted peanuts, and 'the cherry from some Radcliffe girl's old-fashioned.' And yes, we'll be faxing birthday greetings to the great elusive one via the miracle of outmoded technology. One fax per customer, please. Please check your Kakutani hate mail at the door." Plus a screening and a giveaway. (assuming) all ages.
