Colbert Book Unleashes Tonight!
In case you're not already aware and currently camped out in line at your favorite book-store, Stephen Colbert's I am America (And So Can You!) drops at midnight tonight. And if you've somehow not been invited to one of the hundreds of release shindigs being held tonight, fret not. Powell's Books in Portland is throwing a Harry-Potter-style midnight release party tonight:
Blitz, a nice new bar across the street from us (I've been there a few times and their food is cheap and good — a refreshing change from other bars around here), has a bevy of flat screen TVs, which will be tuned to Jon Stewart at 11:00 (serving as the opening act) and then Colbert from 11:30-12am. Until the clock strikes twelve for the unveiling, I'm thinking of covering the cart of books with an American flag to avoid illegal gawking and possible embargo-breaking "browsing." There will be some drinking games leading up to this consumer event. I thought a good one would be to make everyone take a swig each time Colbert says the word "America." I'm not sure if Stephen knows of this game we'll be playing, but nonetheless I imagine people should be plowed before the credits roll.
Work-night boozing and Stephen Colbert; is there anything possibly more American?
To whet your Colbertpetite, here's a hilarious clip from the Colbert Report last week:
