Night After Night

Goings On About Town, October 8, 2018.

My contributions to the Goings On About Town section in the October 8, 2018 issue of The New Yorker, covering the dates October 3-9. The bug that lately has prevented venues from appearing with listings online remains at large, so I've provided them again here and on Twitter. (Click on any listing to enlarge it.)

Goings On About Town, October 1, 2018.

My contributions to the Goings On About Town section in the October 1, 2018 issue of The New Yorker, covering the dates September 26-October 2. I don't have any clue why the venues are not mentioned in these online listings – usually they're visible until an event has passed – so I provided them on Twitter and I'll do it here as well. (Click on any listing to enlarge it.)

Sheesh.
