I've written a lot about comic books today, but the news just keeps a-comin': Harvey Pekar has written and will perform in a jazz opera called Leave Me Alone!. It will be performed in Oberlin this month. On the opera's website, there is a link that will enable anyone to watch the opera for free on the internet at at 8 PM (Oberlin time) on January 31, 2009.

I don't know about you, but I can't imagine anything better to do on a Saturday night in January than watch Harvey Pekar perform in an opera over an internet connection.*

* (The sad thing is, I'm serious.)

I live an hour and a half from Oberlin, and I have to hear about this from a SEATTLE paper? YEESH.

Paul, you really really really need to get laid. Maybe ECB's free tonight.

I'm curious to see how Mr. Pekar's brand of curmudgeonry translates to song. This kind of sounds too good to be true.

Yes, sounds awesome. I'm going to make a point to watch this.
