Where the Wild Things Are in NYC
Where the Wild Things Are comes out next week. I was going to prepare by making myself a pair of wolf pajamas or a monster costume, but fake fur is expensive. (I’m also more excited to make something awesome to wear to Fuck the Recession). If you feel even the slightest urge to pin pointy ears to your hoodie, you should drag your ass to the Morgan Library to check out some of Maurice Sendak’s original drawings for the book. The exhibit includes manuscript pages with notes scrawled by Sendak and a few drawings that were left out of the original book. The Morgan Library costs twelve bucks to get in, but the library has free hours on Friday nights. Next week, you can go a reading by cast membersForest Whitaker, Catherine Keener and Max Records at the New York Public Library, because you’re never too old for story time.
