Tickets and more information available here:
ETA: This looks interesting:House of SpeakEasy returns to Joe’s Pub with a bang, not a whimper, this September – because whatever the newscasters say, This Is Not the End.
Four writers; four stories; forsooth! what larks await. Discover not one, not two, but Thirteen Ways of Looking with award-winning novelist Colum McCann. Explore the art of life with biographer and historian Ruth Scurr. Hit the high notes with Queen of the Night author Alexander Chee. And rediscover the meaning of binge-watching with Sense8 and Babylon 5 creator J. Michael Straczynski. Shake off back-to-school election-season apocalypse blues with another Seriously Entertaining fix of literary cabaret.
The show asks each writer to riff on a given theme for fifteen minutes only. Whether the result leaves you howling with laughter or sorrow, it will be an evening you’re sure to remember.Last edited by Jan; 08-12-2016, 07:56 AM."As empathy spreads, civilization spreads.

JMS posted a link to an email interview with the House of Speakeasy folks:
Lots of stuff there but the part that has me squee-ing (yes, I've been known to squee):
Emphasis mine. That's a book I seriously want to read!HoS: What are you working on now?
JMS: Helping out with two film projects for Legendary, writing a movie for MGM based on my Rising Stars graphic novel, writing a series pilot for Universal based on my Midnight Nation novel (it’s been a good year for my GN work), developing a pilot for ITV, just finished another pilot for CBS Studios, finishing up the last of my work in comics, almost done writing my autobiography, and starting my first novel in many years. Otherwise pretty slow.

Sorry for the very off topic response, but every time I see the title of this thread I cannot help but think of the film, "Hercules in New York".

Now it looks like he's opened a bar. Joe's Comics....Joe's Pub. Natural progression, right?

http://www.sadanduseless.com/2016/09/mean-kittens/I'd like to go, I really would but cannot really justify the 12,000km round trip"There are no good wars. War is always the worst possible way to resolve differences. It degenerates and corrupts both sides to ever more sordid levels of existence, in their need to gain an advantage over the enemy. Those actively involved in combat are almost always damaged goods for the rest of their lives. If their bodies don't bear scars, their minds do, ofttimes both. Many have said it before, but it can't be said to enough, war is hell. "Comment

Oh, that I wanna see!Originally posted by ranger29 View Post
Just checked the gates for my flights. My flight from Atlanta to NY leaves from gate B5.
It's the middle of the freaking night - somebody tell me again why I do things like this??
Thankfully I sleep well on airplanes.
See you on the flip side!

When I used to fly to Texas from the Burbank airport, I always departed from gate B4, which was a bit unsettling.Originally posted by Jan View PostJust checked the gates for my flights. My flight from Atlanta to NY leaves from gate B5.

Blerghh.....!!!!!!!!!!!!
Plane got in at 10:20AM. I got to the hotel at 2:00 PM thanks in large part to the President giving his last speech at the United Nations. Got some lunch but now it's too late to take a nap before tonight. Oh, well. I can sleep tomorrow.
Should be fun tonight.
Later...
