May 30th Lineup Set

We’re very excited for the May 30th Show at Housing Works. Who’ll be there? Well, you, hopefully.

And also Felix Salmon of Reuters, Dan Rollman of RecordSetter, and Negin Farsad of The Muslims are Coming. Also, Eli Bolin is out of town, so stepping into his house-band shoes is the one and only Michael Leviton.

Should be a blast, see you there! More info here.

April 5th: What Would You Ask Special Guests; What Makes A Good Question?

As we get ready for the April 5th show, here are a couple things to think about.

+ Tell your friends you’re coming by RSVPing on Facebook. You don’t need to RSVP to come but, why not?

+ What would you ask our special guests? Submit a question here – the questions Jody asks the special guests will come from this list.

+ Start thinking of a question of your own. Here are some thoughts about what makes a good question.

See you, and Kurt Andersen, and Maria Popova, and Julie Klausner, and Eli Bolin at Housing Works soon!

Videos from February at Housing Works

Thanks to all who came out on Wednesday. We did a pretty lousy job of capturing media (if you did, email us), but a few bits of ephemera have emerged. The undisputed highlight is surely this video of David Carr and Tim Donnelly (along with a brief appearance by Alisa Ali of WFUV and others) interact with an out-of-focus and personality-confused squirrel.

Tim Donnelly (of Brokelyn) also shot video of David Carr’s stint. Here’s the first, check out the other three and a brief writeup on Tim’s blog.

Thanks again to all who came. Stay tuned for news of the next Ask Roulette!

Mini-Roulette at The Talent Show 1/25

We’ve been asked by the fine folks at The Talent Show to do a mini Ask Roulette session Wednesday night at Littlefield. This is such a recent development that we’re not even on the listing, but trust us – we’ll be there! Tickets and info: http://www.littlefieldnyc.com/event/90681/

If you can’t make it out on the 25th, see you at Housing Works on February 1st!

Questions on Twitter
