If you somehow can't make it tonight's meeting of the Mets History Miniature Bobblehead Year at Citi Field [1] committee…I mean to seeing Jason and me at Varsity Letters [2] (for real), here a few other things you can be doing with your Thursday evening.
• You can listen, if you haven't yet, to NY Baseball Digest [3]'s Mike Silva and I discuss Faith and Fear in Flushing: An Intense Personal History of the New York Mets here [4]. The freewheeling hour of book talk, Mets talk, media talk and, well, me talk flies by. You can get a shorter but still substantive spin from this Q&A with Gelf Magazine [5].
• You can read the latest in the whirlwind of FAFIF: AIPHOTNYM reviews, each of them wonderfully considered and immensely appreciated: Mets2Moon at The Ballclub [6]; Coop at My Summer Family [7]; Long Island Mets Fan at 24 Hours From Suicide [8]; and, as a movie pitch I know I'd snap up, Jon at the grandsite of 'em all, Mets By The Numbers [9]. Thanks to everybody who has weighed in on behalf of this book via blog, e-mail, message board and subway whisper campaign. I can express what it means to me, but you still couldn't guess how much it does.
• You can make yourself hungry by perusing the Citi Field offerings as inspected by NYC Food Guy [10]. I've already done so, and there's mouth water everywhere. Don't tell my gastroenterologist. Or my accountant.
• You can by all means order your copy of FAFIF, or even a copy for somebody else, at Amazon [11] or Barnes & Noble [12], and then you can join the ongoing discussion at Facebook [13].
• You can wait for the season to start. But you were going to do that anyway.
• Or you could make a late dash for Varsity Letters [14] at the Happy Ending Lounge [15]. We'd love to see you there, tonight at 8:00.
