DAVE BARRY - Insane City

  • Adult Event
02/05/2013 7:00 pm
 

Tuesday, February 5 at 7PM

Bestselling Author & Humor Columinst
DAVE BARRY
speaking & signing his new novel,
Insane City


The speaking portion of the event is free and open to the public. Wristbands are required for the signing portion of the event and are available only with the purchase of a copy of Insane City from BookPeople. 

We will begin distributing wristbands at 9am the morning of the event. If you purchase your book in advance, please save your receipt and present it on February 5th to receive your wristband. 


Join us tonight as the one and only Dave Barry presents his first solo adult work in nearly a decade, Insane City! Did you know Dave Barry was awarded a Pulitzer Prize for his humor column? Seriously! Tonight you can shake the hand of a Pulitzer Prize winner!

Seth Weinstein knew Tina was way out of his league in pretty much any way you could imagine, which is why it continued to astonish him that he was on the plane now for their destination wedding in Florida. Seth has absolutely no idea what he’s about to get into. In the next several hours, he and his friends will become embroiled with rioters, Russian gangsters, angry strippers, a pimp as big as the Death Star, a very desperate Haitian refugee on the run with her two children from some very bad men, and an eleven-foot albino Burmese python named Blossom. And there’re still two days to go before the wedding.

Dave Barry is a humor columnist. For 25 years he was a syndicated columnist whose work appeared in more than 500 newspapers in the United States and abroad. In 1988 he won the Pulitzer Prize for Commentary. Many people are still trying to figure out how this happened.

Dave has also written a total of 25 books, although virtually none of them contain useful information. Two of his books were used as the basis for the CBS TV sitcom "Dave's World," in which Harry Anderson played a much taller version of Dave. 


In order to have anything signed at a BookPeople event a copy of the event book must be purchased from BookPeople. If you purchase your book from BookPeople in advance of the event, please save your receipt and present it at the event. 

Thanks for supporting Dave Barry and your local independent bookstore!

How Our Events Work

BookPeople is proud to host over 300 events every year. Our events are free and open to the public, unless otherwise stated.

To get a book signed at one of our events, a copy of the event book must be purchased from BookPeople. By purchasing a book from BookPeople, you are not only supporting a local, independent business, but you are also showing publishers that they should continue sending authors to BookPeople. Think of it this way: you wouldn't bring your own beer to a bar, would you?

For events where we anticipate large crowds, wristbands may be required in order to join the signing line. Occasionally we may also ticket events. In both cases, information as to when wristbands/tickets are available will be found on that event's specific page on our website.
