Deadspin
Well, in all the hullabaloo of the last week, we'd almost forgotten: We have a reading in Milwaukee this week! It had slipped past us, what with all the dumbing-down of America.
Anyway, yeah, our reading in Milwaukee is this Thursday night, and we're all going out for booze afterwards. Here are the details:
Thursday, May 08, 2008
07:00 PM
HARRY W. SCHWARTZ BOOKSHOP
17145 W. Bluemound Road Brookfield, WI 53005
We'll be at the Cardinals-Brewers games Friday and Saturday, but the goal Thursday is drinking and, uh, OK, fine, selling books. So come one, come all. It's the City Of Festivals!

Booze? In Milwaukee? Get out.
Be sure to place a glove on a beer bottle going down the assembly line. This is funny for some reason.
Brookfield? I hope you like partying at Houlihan's. It's in the Mall, there.
I don't think the "Harry Schwartz Bookshop" sells the kind of "books" you think it sells...
I see your Schwartz Bookshop is as big as mine.
Somehow, Milwaukee and "dumbing down" seem to go together.
/high-fives self, falls off chair
Whitlock may not like it, but I find this far more enjoyable Deadspin product placement than a certain effort by a certain Golden, Colorado company.
I see your Harry Schwartz is as big as mine.
@RonZookonRedBull: No Playboy or other softcore, if that's what you mean.
@ArkansasFred: Sclemeel, schlemazel and such and such.
The City of Festivus?
HOULIHAN'S HAPPY HOUR!!
BELIEVE IT!
I think one of the most interesting things about Milwaukee is that it's the only American city to elect three Socialist mayors.
Prostate exams for everyone!
Helpful Hint: If Bernie Brewer offers to give you a prostate exam, that promotion is over.
May the Schwartz be with you.
You better get to the South before we burn all 'em books, Will!
@Yellow Tail Swine: You unfortunate soul.
Get some Axel's up in ye, boy.
Who's bringing the 12-person beer bong to the reading?

Harry Schwartz: FAO's bastard sibling.
You're staying with Chip and traveling with JackO, right?
I thought all the good times in Milwaukee involved a road trip to Chicago.
So does this mean that the Atlanta signing is not until the last week in July?
/Cardinals four-game series at the Ted
@Spanish Necktie: @Suss--: I see your Schwartz is as Harry as mine.
@Doyle McPoyle: Also, it's name is Algonquin for "The Good Life"
Will, Milwaukee is not Cleveland. (Unless you're Bud Selig, circa April 2007.)
@Doyle McPoyle:
Was it really necessary to show that indians bum?
@Pebbles Flintsone: Time I got back, time I got back, time I got back to the Good Life
/ironically-appreciated mid-90s classic
@Pebbles Flintsone: Does this guy know how to party or what?!
@jwaves2007: If it's Aiswarya (sp?) Rai, then yes.
Hey everybody! We're all gonna get laid!
/dances like a gopher.
Will wrote a book?
Will the listeners get to hear the Rocker interview?
/lets cat out of proverbial bag
@Card_Chronicle: Several, in fact.
@josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance...: Best. Response. Ever.
Your next book should be about a commenter on a popular sportsblog who, while being able to satisfy four women at a time and is reigning commenter of the fortnight; gets drawn into a web of deception, lies and murder.
Also, he is commenter of the fortnight. Did I mention that?
@josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance...: And Oakland Gyros after.
"Will wrote a book?"
Actually, he didn't.
@Stev D: Why, thank you Steve D.
@josereyes.theroof wishes to perform Tim Harris's sack-dance...: +1. I've seen her listed as Priya. Well done sir.
Jason Whitlock disapproves of this book promoting post.
What timing! I'm actually going to finally crack up the Fairfax County Library's copy of GSTF tonight...
Is it Summer Shandy season yet out there?
@Burning River: Love her too. My Foreigns Porno Crush. (Sasha Grey is my Domestic favourite.)
@Spectacular Sam: Totes correct. Dogg Haus isn't bad for that grease, either.
Ma Fischer's if you want to spend bank, & support the family of former NFLer Joe Panos.
@44 in a Row: Yes. Ugh.
@TheStarterWife:
That and the Mars Cheese Castle.
@Carmen McFanzone: If it were still open, I'd throw Dairyland Grehound Park to your list. See the degenerates upclose.
Jews in Milwaukee. Never saw that on Happy Days.
@44 in a Row: Has been for a while.
@UkraineNotWeak: Never been to Fox Point, huh?
And Berry Weiss? I need to figure out where to get Leinenkugel in New York...
@Suss--:
That list also includes The Secret Garden, the instruction manuals to the entire Dragon Warrior series and several angry letters to Easy to Assemble Furniture Quarterly.
@UkraineNotWeak:
Henry Winkler disagrees.
