An evening with Jerry Lewis? Wish I could be there!
Add comment November 21st, 2008
I have no idea if anyone reading this blog is in the New York area, but if you are, you might want to stop by Manhattan’s Museum of the Moving Image Saturday night at 7 for this event, where name-dropper extraordinaire Peter Bogdanovich interviews … drumroll please… the legendary Mr. Jerry Lewis.
Tickets are $48 bucks, but I’d pay double that if I were anywhere near Manhattan. I saw Jerry Lewis speak (for free!) three years ago during the Chicago stop of his book tour for DEAN AND ME: A LOVE STORY, and it was one of the most amazing nights of my life. I won’t go into details here except to say that the event was cut short, there were angry protesters in the crowd, and Jerry flew off the handle in a way you almost never see celebrities lose control of their public persona.
I did write an extensive description of the event on my own blog right after it happened (better to capture the craziness of the evening). If you’re interested in the juicy details, you can read all about it here.
