"TAKE THE following names - Cynthia Nixon, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Sam Rockwell, Justin Theroux, Kristen Johnston, Bob Balaban, Martha Plimpton, Parker Posey - shake well and mix for an evening called "How I Learned to Read." Add a dash of host Eric Bogosian.

These worthies will deal with some never-before-heard stories for children from contemporary authors including Jona- than Safran Foer, Nick Hornby, Neil Gaiman, and George Saunders, with one or two classics from Mark Twain, Dr. Seuss and Roald Dahl.

It happens Jan. 24 at Tonic, 107 Norfolk St., with sensibly priced tickets. A nonprofit tutoring center called 826NYC will benefit. The group helps students from ages 6-18 develop writing skills and use English as a second language. Call 212-477-8150."

exciting, aye? if anybody attends, i know everybody at the messageboard would love to hear a first-person account of the event. also, as the hitch-hiker's guide to the universe movie release draws nearer by the day, here are a few good sources for up-to-date news:

hey kids! well, as is evident, the long, long, looong rumoured domain switch has been post-poned just a bit longer. the domain has been bought and paid for months now, but due to problems with the provider, things have been on ice. but it's finally looking like i'll be able to move the domain to a working provider soon, so, yey!

but enough about the site and on about sam. after a long sam-drought as he's been off filming Piccadilly Jim, rumours of new projects are starting to trickle in. specifically, yahoo reports that sam is to join the cast on the upcoming filmatization of the hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy as two-headed president of the galaxy!

i would keep an eye on the official douglas adams website for more info on this movie (thanks, all the sam forum people who have kept me somewhat on top of this development!). this is quite the promotion for our little guy fleegman, wouldn't you say? ;)
