Tonight at 7pm at Booksmith: authors vs illustrators Pictionary.
We've told you about Booksmith's every-other-month literary game show showdown, Word/Play. Well, tonight, they're shaking things up slightly by pitting authors against illustrators in a raucous battle of wit and whimsy like never before. They'll play two games: Pictionary, and First Lines. For Pictionary, the teams will be given either clichés, or famous literary lines, and whichever audience member guesses the drawing gets to keep it. For first lines, the teams will have to make up the first line of a book they've never read. Here's the roster for this round: THE ILLUSTRATORS Lisa Brown Christian Robinson and Yasmine Surovec (Cat Vs. Human) VS. THE AUTHORS Mac Barnett LeUyen Pham and Marcus Ewert
It's $10 at the door, which gets you free wine and beer through the event.
You'll definitely see us there, since, full disclosure, your humble editor runs the show.
