E V E N T   A T   G A L A P A G O S ,    J U N E   6 ,   2 0 0 1 . - - - - Here is something that everyone remembers: Pollack, Werthmann, and Hodgman together at Galapagos. It happened exactly twice: in March 2000, and then in September 2000. Both times: magic. Neither time: a presidential assassination or mysterious death. Why should this fond memory not also be a pleasant future, made even fonder by the presence of David Knowles, brilliant musician and author of "The Third Eye" (a Nan A Talese Book) and kind host Patrick Borelli? There is no reason why not. So it will happen, this Wednesday evening, June 6. As well: the entire event, which will begin at 8pm and cost $7, occurs under the auspices of the Toyota Comedy Festival. Did the Toyota Comedy Festival know of this prior relationship certain readers have had with the fabled back room at Galapagos, where only good things happen? No. It is a remarkable coincidence, and thus, a very good omen. Will all of the readers be given free Toyota cars as thanks for their performances? No. For those who cannot read between the lines, the pertinent information above will now be repeated in a convenient digest format: The Toyota Comedy Festival presents in alphabetical order Patrick Borelli John Hodgman David Knowles Neal Pollack Colleen Werthmann At Galapagos 70 North 6th Street between Kent and Wythe Williamsburg, Brooklyn, NY 11211 718-782-5188 NOTE: McSweeney's is not directly affiliated with this event, and has no control whatsoever over its content, quality, or drink prices.
