FiPS Attends Bored to Death Party, Finally Gets that Interview with John Hodgman!

Jason Schwartzman and John Hodgman on Bored to Death

When a show as great as Bored to Death gets cancelled, its fans react in one of two ways: they sit hunched over computers sending out petitions to PLEASE PLEASE keep the show on air, or they gather with their friends, get shitfaced and mourn the downfall of television. Last night, show creator Jonathan Ames and Park Slope's own John Hodgman invited fans of BTD to partake in the latter (I don't actually know if they got shitfaced. I ducked out shortly after arriving so that I could write this before waking up way the hell too early to get on a bus to Boston).

Word spread quickly yesterday that Ames and Hodgman had plans to meet up at The Brooklyn Inn in Boerum Hill around 10PM to celebrate three wonderful seasons of the show. Ames even promised to buy everyone drinks. I arrived around 9:15 and the bar was already packed and stuffy. Once I felt inevitable boob sweat pooling, I hightailed it outside for cooler air (side note: today is the first day of winter. It should not be 55 degrees outside). I made it out onto the sidewalk just as Jonathan Ames arrived. There was a group of around 30-40 people eagerly waiting to get into The Brooklyn Inn, and he addressed them, first by recommending that they start a second party at a nearby bar.

Jonathan Ames To Host Bored To Death Season 3 Party

Jonathan Ames will be hosting a "Special Bizarro" premiere screening of the third season of HBO's Bored to Death. It's going down at Book Court (163 Court Street) this Monday, 10/10 @ 7:30PM.

What happens if the fictitious Jonathan Ames shows up at the premiere and runs into the real Jonathan Ames? Is it like a Back To The Future Part II thing? Would it create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the space-time continuum and destroy the entire universe?!?!
