hammer readings

I realize this may further undermine my rock and roll rep for wanting to attend this (like all my Star Wars posts haven't already done that), but I'm geek enough to want to go to this:

The Hammer Museum presents three ongoing reading series featuring today's most talented and provocative authors. All readings are free of charge, and are followed by booksignings at the Hammer Bookstore.

Malcolm Gladwell
Author and journalist Malcolm Gladwell has been a staff writer for The New Yorker since 1996. Gladwell was previously the New York bureau chief for and is the best selling author of The The Tipping Point: How Little Things Can Make a Big Difference. His recently published work, Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking, examines people’s rapid cognitions that determine their instant conclusions.

Anyone else planning on attending?
