Mixer returns WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18th! Super special venue TBA! We grab 2017 by the... oh, wait, we're a "kinder gentler" series (LIES! WE ARE NOT!). But we will leave the truth-telling and beautiful word-slinging to our incredible lineup, who we will reveal one by one, like the cabinet of a certain "administration," except not evil and grossly misappointed/un(der)qualified.

READERS INCLUDE: Wayne Koestenbaum, who suggests to us book party faux-pas-ers in this excellent Dear Wayne video that we will be "doing penance in such a spectacular and self-mortifying way that you will erase all memory of your crime." May he fill us with pre-inauguration gems such as this, so that we may dream of memories of actual future crimes erased before they're even committed. We promise not to spend all our MC-ing time on Jan 18th on political rants. Just most of it. Please join us.
