Hodgmania sweeps into San Francisco, battters TSOYA relentlessly!
Our friends John Hodgman (right) and Jonathan Coulton (left) are hitting San Francisco tonight for a reading/event to celebrate the softcover edition of Mr. Hodgman's Opus "The Areas of My Expertise."
The event is at the brand new San Francisco branch of Cody's Books, on Stockton street downtown, at 7PM. I will offer my guarantee that it's the most fun you will have at a book reading this year. Perhaps the only fun you will have at a book reading, since most other book readings are hardly fun at all. Edifying, maybe.
Expect a new episode of TSOYA with John and Jonathan this week, as they stopped by TSOYA Studios in Los Angeles the other day to lay down some tracks.
Furthermore, expect John & Jonathan in Baltimore, DC, Richmond, Chapel Hill, Durham, Oxford, and Austin in October.
Below, a sample of the possible hijinks from a Portland show... recognize Hodgman in the necktie, Coulton in the buckskin suit and coonskin cap.
Tom chimes in in the comments today:
I'm happy to report the SF Cody's appearance last night was great. TSOYA listeners should not miss out an opportunity to see John and Johnathan in person. There was music, humor, and quaffing of mature beverages. Note, it was standing room only by 6:30, so you might want to arrive early if you want to sit in the "splatter zone".

In the words of Flounder, "Oh, boy, this is gonna be great!"
That above comment was from me, not Anonymous.
Stupid laptop.

Awesome, Tom! Thanks for the report.
I talked about this with John when he was here, but when I saw him in SF right after the book came out, there were like 6 people there, and one was Dave Eggers' baby. So happy he's getting famous!
Jesse, on that first interview you did with Hodgman, you referenced a book that he claimed as an influence. Which book was that again?
It wasn't The DaVinci Code.
Oh, and fix the link for Hodgman's website. There's a typo.
