November 17th, The Society of Illustrators and Chronicle Books held a fun event to celebrate the publication of my new book,
When Do They Serve The Wine? We began with a round table discussion about style and voice, with the above New Yorker Cartoonists. Then the party! For a slide show of photos, go to: http://whendotheyservethewine.wordpress.com/2010/11/19/launch-party/
Amanda Stern’s Happy Endings Music and Reading Series is an institution in New York. She has received numerous positive reviews and awards for her funny, entertaining monthly event. She brings together three authors and a musical group each month to Joe’s Pub, and it is a wonderful evening. I met Amanda last year, and we talked about doing a New Yorker cartoonist evening, and it’s finally coming to fruition this month. I helped her find three cartoonists, and she found a musical guest. It should be a wild evening. The unexpected thing is that each author has to do a “risk” of some sort. Stay tuned: I will hopefully post a video of what happens.
Cartoonists: Drew Dernavich, Carolita Johnson, myself
Musical guest: Jeffrey Lewis

I enjoyed being at the 2010 Festival sponsored by the Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art in New York City. Met some new cartoonists and saw some old friends. Saw a lot of interesting art as well.
