I will be spending the weekend in New York City, or as I call it, "Bedbugs and Beyond."
The primary reason for my trip is to attend the 2010 New Yorker Festival, the New Yorker magazine's annual three-day throwdown. Tickets to nearly all events are still available, even those that sold out online a few weeks ago. Ten percent of tickets were held back and will be on sale today from noon to 4 p.m. at SVA Theatre, 333 West 23rd Street between Eighth and Ninth Avenues. First come, first served. A limited number of tickets will also be sold at the door beginning an hour before most events. Cash only.
Much more information about the Festival is here, or for those of you unwilling to read anything other than this blog (which I totally get), just sit back and watch this video summary of last year's version. I think I recognize the guy at the 3:00 mark:
Edit: Thousands of angry readers have emailed me to complain that this embedded video does not play properly, and they're correct.
Click here to watch it on the video section of the New Yorker's website, where it does work. Scroll down about halfway, or further as they continue to add videos from this year's Festival.

I get a black screen and a repeating revolving bit, but no show. Dang.
Funny you should mention it Ben, we just launched an iPhone app called "Bedbugs and Beyond" to help educate all those travelers out there headed to NYC and other "infested" cities.
You can check out the bed bug app here or search for "Bedbugs and Beyond" on the iTunes app store if you are an iPhone or Touch user.
It should provide some useful info! See ya in NYC.
Apparently I am as unoriginal as the latter-day infestation of bedbugs is.
Or great minds just think alike when it comes to pests . . .
Same here, @Elaine.
Conde Nast -- *sigh* -- it ain't YouTube.
'Thousands?' Ben???
I know I'm slightly overweight, but should I be called 'Thousands?' And was I not polite? Mild-mannered? Restrained?
Even Old People have feelings, you know. Tattered, threadbare feelings, but still......
It's true. My cleverly encoded message was, "Elaine is not merely old, but also fat and rude."
Happy now? :)
