Because things just cannot be the same, and because we do not want to be sad about this, McSweeney's will be hosting a gathering on Thursday, March 16, at eight o'clock in the evening, at Galapagos, a social establishment located in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There will be two rooms. The back room will feature several live readers, including Matthew Klam, Arthur Bradford, Neal Pollack, and some other very nice people, including women, and an audience limited to 200 people. The front room will feature a seemingly bottomless pool that actually contains just eight inches of water, dyed black so as to appear infinitely limitless, as well as mimes and other performers, and space limited to 300 additional people. There will be beer and shouting. The event is free, unless you buy drinks, in which case the cost of the event varies according to the price of your drinks. We cannot pay for your drinks. We wish that you would not drink so much anyway. We are sorry to have to tell you this, but you are sometimes very loud, and we need hardly remind you of the unfortunate hubcap incident. A hubcap is not a toy. Please do not complain about having to visit Williamsburg in order to attend this gathering. Williamsburg is home to many decent people, several of whom work at Galapagos and are very nice and are willing to host you without compensation. On the other hand, there are all sorts of wonderful programs scheduled to appear on TV that night, which you can enjoy without leaving home. We cannot discourage you from tuning in. Galapagos is located at 70 North Sixth Street in Brooklyn, easily accessed from the Bedford Avenue stop on New York City's efficient L-line subway train. We do not know how to get to Galapagos by car. Perhaps you could hail a taxi cab. That is all. Thank you very much.
