Pop Culture Yay

This weekend I attended two New Yorker Festival events. On Friday night, I heard Jhumpa Lahiri and Edward P. Jones read from their work. I attended by myself because my husband likes to watch Miami Vice reruns on Friday nights. Yesterday I went to David Denby’s interview with Seth Rogen and Judd Apatow. I’m guessing this event had more swear words than any other New Yorker Festival event this year, but I could be wrong. I felt cool because Bill Hader and his wife sat two rows in front of me. Afterward I spoke to Seth Rogen when I realized he was walking directly behind me on 57th St. I made a couple of lame remarks at which he laughed politely, then I walked away hurriedly, still in the same direction, like after Evan grants Becca permanent ownership of his pen in Superbad.
