Pynchon Party

[Tony Antoniadis]

For all you tri-staters:

This Sunday (May 4) come celebrate springtime on the Brooklyn waterfront,
the completion of Columbia Street, and the first signs of the Greenway bike
path connecting Greenpoint with Red Hook.
Oh, and we will be toasting that doyen of the delirious novel, that lovable
recluse and buck-toothed prophet of paranoia, Thomas Pynchon.  He turns 71
later in the week, and who are we to deny him a party?

We'll dine on foodstuffs famously vomited by Gravity's Rainbow's Tyrone
Slothrop: burgers, homefries, chef's salad with French dressing, Moxie,
after-dinner mints, Clark bars, salted peanuts, and "the cherry from some
Radcliffe girl's old-fashioned."  Guests will be allowed to send him
greetings via the outmoded technology of a fax machine.

Whether you can recite Mason and Dixon from memory or only know Pynchon as a
recurring guest on the Simpsons, stop by on Sunday!  The festivities begin
at 3 pm.
