Kids, we’re counting down together to what I’ve been calling THE GREAT SELL-OUT, our BOOK PARTY at McNally Jackson, which will celebrate having sold out of the first edition of the book*, and will be on December 9th 2010 at 7pm.
Meaghan and I, along with Audacia Ray, Diana Vilibert, and Matthew Gallaway, will be on hand to read and to discuss what it is to write about sex when you are writing about people who are real, including you.
So to count us down to the party, I’m going to post a song from the (unreleased) C&C Book Factory mixtape, which I made from all of the songs that the writers told Meaghan they were listening to as they wrote. Then we added the songs that we listened to as we edited. And this is one of those.
