That typo was brought to you by the manager of our copywriting team. Just thought you wanted to know.

Gee, nice typo! “In which contains my favorite list” ?? Sheesh.
I cringe a bit. I blame it all on Hodgman and his clever hobo names.

OMG you met–or saw–John Hodgman? you know, “Iampeecee” guy? I love Hodgman! He is often very funny as the resident expert on “The Daily Show” and he wrote “Areas of my Expertise” in which contains my all time favorite list of hobo names. There are also some very amusing hobo-related signs.

Sounds like a fun night and who knew Lili Taylor was now a mama? She used to live down the block from me back in the day.

MET would be too strong a word, Em. I was merely an observer. In fact, I talked to almost no one outside of our table, except for the woman who said the immortal line:

“I wrote sixty-three songs this year. They’re all about Joe. And I’m going to sing each and every one of them tonight.”

Sounds lovely! I’m not much into fiction, but reading this makes me think of when we were at SXSWi and I was swooning over mom blog queen Dooce. Glad you had a blast!

You met John Hodgman AND Corey Flood? So jealous. Joe lies when he cries…
