Lynda Barry and Tom Tomorrow will be at Politics and Prose at 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., respectively, on Friday night. If you’re headed north to SPX, this is a good kickoff (if you’re headed south to SPX, you should be going to the Atomic Books party instead). I will not be there since I’m putting in a volunteer shift at SPX on Friday night, but since Politics & Prose is among a dying breed of independent book stores in the D.C. area, you should support them if you can.
