Arts Stephin Merritt Is Doing a Show Tonight…
…Not with Magnetic Fields, but with Lemony Snickett (AKA Daniel Handler, who was in Magnetic Fields for a while, or at least played accordion on 69 Love Songs). Also in this show is Colin Meloy, Smoosh, Zach Rogue, someone from a famous band that can’t be mentioned, Sarah Vowell, John Hodgman, and Dave Eggers. The show was arranged by Bumbershoot but it happens tonight, the night before Bumbershoot, and the tickets are separate from Bumbershoot tickets. I explain everything here.
I can't look at daniel handler without lovelorn heartache; he is the perfect man.
