Thanks so much to everyone for completely packing the house at Johnny D's in Somerville on Thursday! We had a great time performing for you all. Photos and video coming soon. But in the meantime, here were the recommendations:
I told jokes and stories and recommended:
1) Sock Club - a monthly sock delivery that is one of the best gifts I've ever been given.
2) Make Good Art by Neil Gaiman and Chip Kidd
3) Tovolo Silicone Mixing Spoon (duh)
Elna Baker told stories and recommended:
1) Metal toothpaste roller clips - get every last bit out of your toothpaste!
2) Laffy Taffy (banana flavor)
3) The Days of Abandonment by Elena Ferrante
Sarah Kay shared some new poems and recommended:
2) Pocky (oh my goodness, we had SO much Pocky)
3) When My Brother Was An Aztec by Natalie Diaz
And the big winner of the night was audience member Sarah Kate! She got the spoon!
