Fun time! Joe, that October 1 reading looks like it would be a great fit, though I guess you'd have to be covering the baseball playoffs at the time, so might be too busy. Either way, make sure to announce it. I'll be there. I was at that other JLA reading Joe did. Fun time!

Even if it stinks, at lease I think this is the first time we've ever take the F train. Well, my fiance and I are going.

I'm also not a fan of Selena Roberts at all. She deserves the scorn she got for what she did in the Duke lacrosse case. The most recent book on A-Rod was poorly sourced and a true hit piece and people hated it about as much as they hate A-Rod. I think it didn't sell more than a handful of copies and probably lost her publisher a lot of money.

And then Selena, really? You still support this lady? When did trying to make your career by tearing someone apart become respectable? She must really sleep well at night knowing she ruined 3 Duke LAX players' lives with her false reports meant to boost her own image.

I used to live a short walk from there. Cool neighborhood. Doesn't seem like the most convenient place to draw a crowd but ok. Joe, if you participate in this series later in the year you ought to check out Grimaldi's on Old Fulton Street, which is just a few blocks away. Voted the best pizza in NYC many, many times. Won't be there tonight due to holiday weekend but some of these future dates look pretty good. Huh. I used to live a short walk from there. Cool neighborhood.

Some Chinese massage parlors in New York are known for giving out (illegal) "happy endings," hence the name of the bar. Happy Endings is actually a former massage parlor, not former restaurant.
