Triangle FOTs: Hodgman in Durham
« on: November 06, 2011, 06:06:18 PM »
Hey Triangleinos! (I will make this name happen, mark my words)

This Wednesday, November 9, the great John Hodgman will be gracing the Bull City with his presence, stopping by the Durham Armory at 7:30 p.m.  I know many of us discussed going to this during the Ted Leo show, and wanted to put word out there to any other newcomers who might be wanting to join.

Admission is $25.00 for two people, which includes a copy of the book.  You can preorder at the Regulator in Durham, either in person or online at http://www.regulatorbookshop.com/event/john-hodgman-0

It is worth noting that Mr. Hodgman will be joined by the most excellent Megafaun that evening (who are not FOTs per se, but mysteriously appear in the background of one of PBR's calls this spring, almost like he was backstage at a concert where they were opening for him.  Funny, that), as well as known FOT and NC native David Rees (no word as to on-site artisan pencil sharpening, I'm bringing a few just in case).

Finally, I am pondering pre or post show festivities at the nearby-ish Fullsteam Brewery, not only for their excellent beers, but also for the food truck trifecta of Pie Pushers, Only Burger, and the Parlour that will be there that night.  Thoughts?

I will be there, with Mrs. Thee Chris Dee in tow. (not a FOT, but I'm working on her)

Fullsteam or Geer St Garden sounds great to me. 

Post show might be a better idea since the festivities start early I believe...maybe a quick pre-show drink at Pinhook?
Can I use the "F-word", Tom?

Hey, fellas! Looks like we are the most active FOT council in the ...guild, or something? Good for us! I'll be there tomorrow night with my friend Katie, who doesn't know anything about Best Show except what I have told her. Maybe we can get another pic for our scrapbook, Chris included this time! I'd be down for a quick post-show stop wherever. Don't forget to bring your FOT card and Hodgman/Oswalt trading card, if you've got them!

Post-show seems to be consensus, so we shall hope the signing line is swift, and I'll keep an eye out before the event as well.

Also, I lack a Friends of Tom card, but I will plead my case for a MaxFun membership card being just as good.  May Judge Hodgman rule with mercy, and the sound of his gavel be the dropping of dollar coins.
