Oh, good point, James. I should have mentioned that fact. They will indeed be showing your film at the start of the evening. The perfect opening.

I should make some Wrinkle in Time jewelry for the event. Hmmm….

Oh man how I wish I could be at this, especially since I’ve been informed they’ll be showing the 90-Second Newbery version of “A Wrinkle in Time” as the opener for this event. One of those times I’m kicking myself my family doesn’t live in New York…

Oh, to be a fly on that wall.

Alas, I can't be in New York for this fantastic event, but I appreciate being reminded of the anniversary and pointed to the tribute on the book. My favorite L'Engle book growing up was Many Waters, but I think Wrinkle was my first.

Awesome opportunity but no implosion for me either. The best I can do is post the anniversary on my blog that day. Maybe it’s time to give away one of my sets of her paperback books as a prize. Enjoy yourself for all of us!

I’m going to have a party at my library, too, but… uh, yeah. Nothing close to that. I don’t think I’ll need to implode.

Greg, I’ll level with you. It’s not really mine. All credit goes entirely to Eddie Izzard for that quote. I believe he once used it to describe the collapse of the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Empire / A talk about L’Engle = same difference, yes?

A shiny new cover! THAT’S what I need. I tried to push my floppy old 80s covered versions last week to no avail, no matter how much I rhapsodized about this title. As horrible as it is, a new copy might really help!

Well, given yesterday’s comment about loving the straight man, it makes sense you’d appreciate being on stage with Jane Curtin, straight woman in some of the most thankless situations in history. (I always think that being John Lithgow’s love interest on Third Rock was the universe saying “Sorry about Belushi”)

(I just tried to find a video of her reaming out Emily Litella with the sweet acceptance and subsequent to-the-camera “Bitch.” but failed. O Youtube, of all times …)

Sigh. I see your blog wouldn’t accept my cut and paste with brackets. What I’d said was that your phrase “I encourage you to watch me slowly implode like a flan in a cupboard” was truly most excellent. Most!
