NYC Writer/Performer Dan Kennedy (McSweeneys.net, "Loser Goes First") February 29, 2008

The McSweeneys.net staple and downtown New York spoken word fixture Dan Kennedy reads from his new book "Rock On". An evening that promises to shed hilarious light on why it was a perfectly terrible idea for Kennedy to try and fit into the 9-5 world of corporate rock when he was hired by Atlantic Records in 2002 before getting canned in 2004.

If you missed him at Bumbershoot with NYC storytelling collective "The Moth" here's your chance to laugh at his existential pain and neurotic monologues.

"The rest of us may have dreamed it, but Dan Kennedy actually lived it out in the trenches. The results aren't pretty, but luckily for him, and us, they are hilarious."—Todd Hanson, editor of The Onion: America's Finest News Source

"Dan Kennedy is a very funny human-being and a very funny writer and this is a very funny book. It's also quite subtly wise about the absurdity of life and the dreams we cook up." —Jonathan Ames, author of Wake Up, Sir!
