Return of the Rock Bottom Remainders
9:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Webster Hall; 125 East 11th Street, between 3rd and 4th
Avenues; New York City
Following last year's sold-out benefit starring Wynton Marsalis, the Book Industry Foundation will host the return of the book industry's favorite band, the Rock Bottom Remainders, whose stars include Mitch Albom, Dave Barry, Roy Blount Jr., Kathi Goldmark, Greg Iles, Barbara Kingsolver, James McBride, Ridley Pearson, Amy Tan and Scott Turow. Standing room only crowds danced to the music of the Remainders at the American Booksellers Conventions in Los Angeles, Miami, and Anaheim back in the 90's! This year, the Remainders will rock historic Webster Hall (125 East 11th Street) in Greenwich Village. Built in 1886, Webster Hall was the scene of the famous costumed balls that raised money for progressive causes advocated by Emma Goldman, Marcel DuChamp and Margaret Sanger. Eugene O'Neil described it as "the jewel of the village." All proceeds will benefit the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression and the Association of American Publishers' Get Caught Reading literacy campaign.
Admission: $25 per person; $45 for two (bring a colleague!); $100 for five (entertain your friends!) (SE7)
