Looked Into
Here at Emdashes, we've gone to the trouble of entering every single New Yorker Festival event into our flourishing Emdashes event calendar, which several of you have already told us is becoming indispensable. We're just getting into the groove of it ourselves, but if you're a Google kind of person, you should easily be able to search all of our events on Google's calendar search page. If you're already using it to track your own events, you should be able to add the Emdashes events seamlessly.
Every New Yorker Festival event is tagged "NYFEST," so if you search for that term on Google's public calendars, all of the events should come up. You can also narrow the search by venue or by event type or by person.
It's all part of providing the most complete Festival coverage we possibly can—given our part-time staff of three, with one (hi John!) in Vancouver—and we hope you'll find it useful.
(Note that when we test the search, sometimes our events come up and sometimes they don't—Google seems to be working out some early kinks. So be patient and keep trying if the results seem nonexistent. Trust us, they're there.) —Martin Schneider

They say that dashes “are particularly useful in a sentence that is long and complex.” Emdashes—like em dashes—emphasizes what’s between: in particular, between the lines, covers, and issues of a magazine close to my heart.
