I sometimes forget how much is going on in this city. When a friend visited I realized how much could be done in three days (central park, chinatown, brooklyn restaurant, MOMA, Brooklyn Bridge, etc).
Besides the happening Queens College Translation Conference, there's a big ol' conference by PEN. I'm a big fan of PEN and their International Conference has some big names and many many free events. I believe the theme this year is Evolution and Revolution, which incidentally was the main theme of my presentation on Trotsky last week.
Here are a few panels that look fun:
Monday, April 27
Neil Gaiman in Conversation with Joshua Wolf Shenk
7:30 p.m.: The Prince Theater, Maryland
Wednesday, April 29
Prison Deform
6 p.m.: CUNY Segal Theater
Thursday, April 30
Quiet Revolutions in Storytelling
6 p.m.: Instituto Cervantes New York
Kafka in America
6:30 p.m.: Austrian Cultural Forum
The Moth ®evolution: Stories of Change
7 p.m.: Galapagos Art Space ($30: Smarttix)
(I listen to The Moth podcast all the time. Truly hilarious. Enough that I might even dole out $30.)
There are a lot of panels. Here's the whole darn list: http://www.pen.org/page.php/prmID/1820
Besides that, I realized I was a true adult when my cat, Raptor, puked in the bed and there was no one to deal with it but me. Chris sleeps like the dead and she puked on my side. What makes you realize that you're an adult?
