Earlier today The New Yorker posted the following item on its Festival blog:
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the New Yorker Festival, and so, to celebrate, we're expanding the programming to ten days: October 9-18.
The first seven days will feature an event a night, including:
* "Tales Out of School: New Yorker Writers on The New Yorker," an evening of recollections by our contributors, presented with the storytelling group the Moth
* "Brooklyn Playlist," a Festival concert featuring the bands of Brooklyn
* And "Tailing Tilley," a live urban scavenger hunt drawing on New Yorker trivia.
Then, the weekend of October 16-18 will have the full Festival lineup—panels, interviews, excursions, et cetera. Find out more at the New Yorker Festival Web site. And sign up for Festival Wire to receive official announcements and updates.
As they say in California, this is the Big One!
Well, well! The Moth, Brooklyn bands, and a scavenger hunt. It looks like a lot of fun!
