To Do: Brooklyn Book Festival
Sixty-nine events. Eight hours. The Brooklyn Book Festival is back.
Certainly, borough president Marty Markowitz does enough trumpeting for all of us, but I can't help but do a little extra promotion myself. Most impressive is the broad range of offerings—whether you are a writer, reader, publisher, comic geek, poet, wannabe or just someone who likes festivals, yep, there's probably something you're interested in. Everything is free, even the ticketed events—just pick up tickets an hour before the event.
Kick off the festival on Saturday evening with a free screening in Borough Hall Plaza of Paul Auster's film Smoke.

oh, sounds great...
where's the detail on the free screening of Smoke, though? Don't see it on their events page!
Can't make it but have a friend who loves that flick, want to give him a heads-up.
Just spoke with the PR agency, and Smoke will begin screening at 8 p.m. The woman I spoke with suggested that people bring chairs as she wasn't sure how much seating would be available.
Also, checked in on which events would be ticketed (info. currently unavailable on the Web site): You'll need to pick up tickets for any event at the Courtroom or St. Francis College.
