On Tuesday, December 7, Dick Cavett will be interviewed about his new book, Talk Show: Confrontations, Pointed Commentary, and Off-Screen Secrets, and he'll be interviewed by Mel Brooks. It's an event held by the Writers Bloc, a local concern that stages evenings where one interesting person questions another interesting person. The second interesting person usually has a new book out and you can usually buy a copy at the event and get it signed, and I assume that will be the case here. It takes place at 7:30 PM at the Saban Theater in Beverly Hills and further details may be found at this link.
On Thursday, December 9, The Hundreds (a new store out in Santa Monica) is kicking off a major promotion involving clothing and merchandise featuring everyone's favorite lasagna-guzzling cat, Garfield. There will be an art show featuring many depictions of said feline by artists other than Jim Davis. There will also be Jim Davis, who will be signing stuff there and a lot of the voice actors from The Garfield Show will be present, as will I…and I'm told Garfield himself will even put in an appearance. It starts at 8 PM at The Hundreds, which is located at 416 Broadway in Santa Monica…and that literally is all they've told me about it.
