Still, next week commences the FD East Coast tour—turns out most of it's around NYC, which I like to think makes it a special limited engagement by three psychopaths. You can catch the calendar here , but I thought I'd break it down a little more gradually, especially if any Philly people (sorry dudes, we tried) were planning to make a trip up. 12/2: Vassar College All-out kid, no turnbacks.

The authors of Free Darko Presents: The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac will be at White-Gravenor Hall at Georgetown University tonight for a “Book Reading and Multimedia Meltdown” so if you’ve read the book, or if you’re just interested in meeting the minds behind Free Darko, I’d encourage you all to check it out.

But the purpose of this post is one last book tour announcement: Tonight, at Sugar Lounge in Red Hook, we'll provide running commentary on the Bulls/Knicks game, until everyone gets too drunk, we ...
HHR's Macrophenomenal Q&A with FreeDarko's Bethlehem Shoals

... a good way. Once I cracked into it, the book proved nothing short of a visual, literary and information-laden orgy. Mixing humor with flat statistics, objectivity with subjectivity, FreeDarko's High Council, collectively the standardbearers of today's pro basketball commentary, put out one of the most creative and entertaining things Ive read in some time, one that even the most casual of hoops fans can appreciate. In the middle of the book's obligatory author's tour, I was fortunate to exchange a quick question and answer with FreeDarko ...
