Infinite Jest turned 30 last month. Want to finally read it with me and a bunch of other wastoids?

¶. 7pm – ?am: Closed VCR Night

The FORT90 Emergency Broadcast System, free

We’re finally getting a proper winter here, and as such the typical host of my last-monday-of-every-even-month Open VCR Night is closed. In lieu, my pal FORT90 and I will be streaming found footage all night, and this time you cannot eject. My baby video may show up.

¶. Today – November 23: IJXXX Read Along

wallace-l, free

Wallace-L is the world’s best listserv, and we are celebrating the 30th anniversary of Infinite Jest by reading it together, starting today. You only have to get to page 10 this week.¹

Once you join, email me for the orientation and schedule.

¶. Through March: The COVID Material Culture Museum

The City Reliquary, Williamsburg, NYC, $10

My exhibition has been extended. It’s in the front room before the admission counter, so you can technically see it free.

∞. The DOT is Following Me

Every month the NYC Department of Transportation issues a limited reproduction run of a notable street sign, and the last two have oddly followed my last two addresses. Luckily I missed them both, because I am presently on a zero-dollar budget. Still, I am excited next month to discover my next move.

¹ I’ll be supplementing the schedule with audiobook timestamps soon.
