T H I S   T H U R S D A Y I N   B R O O K L Y N A N D   N E W   Y O R K . - - - - Yes, yes, there was a rather severe scheduling conflict this Thursday. Thank you, many of you, for your alertness and patience. So. This is now what will happen this Thursday: At 7:30, there will be a reading at Community Bookstore, in Park Slope, on 7th Avenue, or possibly across the street, at a restaurant/bar with a bit more room. (Information will be posted at the bookstore.) At about 8:30, all who are willing will be bused -- yes, we have a bus -- to the Mimi Ferzt Gallery, in SoHo, where Komar & Melamid and their elephant paintings will be waiting for us. They have ordered extra vodka, and there is word that Alex Melamid will reprise his slide show (not to be missed) for us latecomers. On the bus there will be snacks. At about 10 p.m., the bus will leave the gallery and return to Brooklyn, and will drop all passengers at their respective homes, with each passenger receiving a valuable parting gift. Or else the bus might possibly just drop everyone at the Community Bookstore. And there might not be any parting gifts. We have room on the bus for approximately 45 people. Anyone who does not make the bus is still welcome to join up at the gallery. There are trains that run underground. Also note: Tuesday's reading, at Barnes and Noble Astor Place, will also have entertainment. Approximately 40 copies of McSweeeney's Issue No. 4 will be at each reading, for sale. Subscribers will be getting theirs via mail any day. Thank you. And thank you, New York Post, for being you.     OTHER McSWEENEY'S STORIES: - - - - The Ten Worst Films of 1942; As Reviewed by Ezra Pound Over Italian Radio By Greg Purcell Election 2000, as seen from Chile By Marc Herman Conversations While Canvassing For Bill Bradley in Small New Hampshire Towns By David Gaffen The Zapruder Film: The Novelization By Mike Sacks Satan's Girlfriend By Jamie Dyer
