Chelsea Handler, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me Chelsea, visits with her new book, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang. Life doesn’t get more hilarious than when Handler takes aim with her irreverent wit. Who else would send all-staff emails to smoke out the dumbest people on her own late night talk show (E!’s Chelsea Lately)? Now, in this new collection of original essays, Handler delivers one laugh-out-loud moment after another as she sets her sights on the ridiculous side of childhood, adulthood, and daughterhood. Family moments are fair game, whether it’s writing a report on Reaganomics to earn a Cabbage Patch doll, or teaching her father social graces by ordering him to stay indoors. Chelsea also performs at the Dodge Theater tonight at 8. PLEASE NOTE: This is a booksigning only. Lettered tickets (free with book purchase) will be called alphabetically to form the booksigning line. Chelsea Handler can personalize books, but will be unable to pose for photographs or sign memorabilia. CAN’T MAKE IT? If you’d like an autographed book from any of our author events, please call us at 480.730.0205 to pre-pay and we’ll have one or more copies signed and reserved for you.
Start: 7:00 pm
From Walmart drag parties, renegade Homemakers’ Clubs, and online chat rooms, Out in the Country offers an unprecedented contemporary account of the lives of today’s rural queer youth. Mary Gray, Assistant Professor of Communication and Culture at Indiana University at Bloomington, illustrates that against a backdrop of an increasingly impoverished and privatized rural America, LGBT youth and their allies visibly and vibrantly work the boundaries of the public spaces available to them. Out in the Country is a timely and groundbreaking ethnographic study of sexuality and gender, new media, youth culture, and the meaning of identity and social movements in a digital age.
