This was the plain truth spoken by John Spade in I'm Gonna Git You Sucka, and so it goes for audio books as well. If you wanted to catch the reading of Areas of My Expertise a little while back at Elliot Bay, but found the line up the stairs too intimidating, you can now get the same (albeit much more prolonged) experience for free in the iTunes store, complete with introductory theme song by Jonathan Coulton.

When he last graced our fine city, Mr. Jonathan Hodgman was touring for his new book The Areas of My Expertise. He has since then become straightman-comic hawker of Apple computers and Resident Expert on the Daily Show. Seattlest could possibly be more jealous, but we're not certain.

We successfully navigated the B-word over the weekend without seeing John Moe do his McSweeney's dance, which is not very neighborly of us. It's something we would love to see and hopefully he performs again sometime soon, although that seems unlikely because he's got this whole book thing going on as well.

To have been at McCaw Hall Friday night, is to have been truly blessed. It was a night filled with smiles, laughter and bottomless admiration – not only for the performers, but also for the people behind the scenes for whom this night was meant to benefit. It was a night which, at one point, brought a couple tears to our eyes. But we’re sensitive like that.

Seattlest saw John Hodgman give one of his unusual, deadpan readings from his first book, The Areas of My Expertise. Given our solely platonic love of ferrets and hobos, we couldn't pass up the opportunity to speak briefly with Mr. Hodgman.

We started poking around Amazon yesterday to read the customer reviews of John Hodgman's book The Areas of My Expertise. Sniff sniff, hmmm...things seem different. Our Beacon Hill bohemoth is up to something, testing out some new designs, and apparently some new functionality for their product pages.

John Hodgman, Writer, has offered up fascinating insights into himself for our sister publication, Gothamist. He's created smarty-pants user-generated content for McSweeney's and This American Life. And Mr. Hodgman, Writer, has published a book, The Areas of My Expertise, in which he makes up a bunch of facts. (Like that's not a contradiction in terms. Did you think no one would notice, Mr. Hodgman? Must you lie to us to be funny?)
