geekchickI'm a sucker for unusual packaging, I admit it. For me, a large part of the appeal of McSweeney's Quarterly Concern has been seeing what packaging the next one is going to come in. Last quarter's came in a fabric-covered cover, and the latest offering came packaged to look like it was a bundle of mail. I was amused enough to find Yeti Researcher, but the real treasure was the "Citizen's Insertable Swiftness Manifest", which is a checklist you can put in your luggage to help make the job of the TSA inspectors that much easier. *cough* I was hoping they'd have a copy online because it's hysterical, but I haven't found it yet.

harlequinaide, in case you might be interested:
Angelenos: On Sunday, November 20, at 7:30 p.m., to celebrate the publication of The Believer Book of Writers Talking to Writers, Susan Straight and Josh Kun will discuss music, race, and American identity at Skylight Books (1818 N. Vermont Ave. in Los Angeles). Free. There will be a raffle and there will be prizes.
I'd go myself, except for the whole "other coast" thing I've got going on.
