SPORTS! SPORTS! SPORTS! YEAHHHHH!!!
If there is one thing New York loves it's SPORTS, so this first installment of the NEWLY-RESTARTED Mr. Beller's Neighborhood Reading Series is ALL ABOUT SPORTS!! YEAHHHHH!!!
Mr. Beller's Neighborhood Reading Series is moving to Brooklyn and as a tribute to our move to the Dodgers home borough, our first event will feature all stories from New Yorkers and their love for the game- any game- all games! We will hear from soft-ballers, basket-ballers, marathon-ballers- all kinds of ballers who like to talk trash and drink beer like it’s Gatorade!
Author and Open City Founding Editor Thomas Beller founded mrbellersneighborhood.com in 2000. The site publishes stories about New York City life that follow in the tradition of Joseph Mitchell and E.B. White-slices of life, portraits of memorable characters, scandalous encounters with public decadence and heartwarming displays of civil courage. Contributors are either "professional" writers, work in a variety of jobs and write out of a passion, or a bit of both. 2009 saw the publication of Lost & Found, a veritable encyclopedia of New York stories collected from the site since 2002.
Readers on February 18th are PATRICK SAUER, PETER NOLAN SMITH, JB McGEEVER. The host is CONNOR GAUDET.
