Book Nerd Summer Tour: Spazzes With Glasses
Featuring: Anne Elizabeth Moore, Liz Mason and Jacinta Bunnell
Bluestocking Bookstore & Cafe
(Bluestockings is located in the Lower East Side of Manhattan at 172 Allen Street between Stanton and Rivington - which means that we are 1 block south of Houston and 1st Avenue.)
The ridiculously energetic underground publishing duo Anne Elizabeth Moore and Liz Mason are coming to deliver their hilarious cultural commentary. Moore will read from her radical media primer "Hey Kidz, Buy This Book!" and talk about her experiences at Mattel's American Girl Place, where she perpetrated "Operation: Pocket Full of Wishes", a nationally publicized cultural intervention into youth marketing. Mason's will be sharing the "Bad Lyrics Project", a compilation and deconstruction of cringeibly bad lyrics from the last few decades of popular music. And still more better yet (really!) is that among the book nerds will be Jacinta Bunnell, whose "Girls Will Be Boys" and "Girls Are Not Chicks" coloring books are teaching a new generations that it's O.K. for boys to paint their toenails and for girls to sit on the Supreme Court.
