PARTY: Nostalgic for the Blackout of 2003? Someone has put together an event that will recapture the night of no lights so we can all enjoy it once again (with reassuring knowledge that the contents of the fridge aren't melting back at home). Stain's blackout party will be complete with candles, canned goods, beer, a battery-run boombox, board games, grilling and other non-electricity-dependent activities.

We usually associate reading with sleeping. When we were younger we were read to before going to bed, or taking a nap. Now, thanks to Lindsay Robertson, Alex Balk and Jon Friedman...we can associate reading with pills.

It's not a great week for the slim of pocketbook, as we've dug up some gems that will cost you. We hope they're worth it, though! There's funny, slightly arty, and just plain bookish. Take your pick.

Since it's obviously National Hangover Week and no one does hangovers better than New York artists, it's a rather slow week (again!) in readings and literary events. Next week looks like it's picking up a fair bit, though, and we're excited about several events, so tune in next Tuesday.

We don't often talk about readings on this site because, well, readings are generally kind of boring. Seriously, you can comment all you want about how they're not but we probably won't even read your comments because comments about readings are even more boring. Enter super fast reading series. We're pretty sure the last Ritalin Reading was last June, so we'll give you a refresher. 6 readers, 4 minute readings, 24 minutes of your time and invaluable love advice to last you forevermore (love advice given to you by bloggers and comedians, hmmm.)
