Billy Joel’s film of The Last Play at Shea, in which I make some brief but very enthusiastic appearances, will be showing at several theatres across the country on October 27, and it will be opening for at least one-week runs (from October 29 to November 4) in several theatres in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Florida, and California. You owe it to yourself to see the film. It’s a moving and a meaningful documentary that deserves a wide audience. To find out the latest about where it will be appearing, click on the link above.
In the next few weeks, I will be making the following appearances:
October 28 – 7:30 pm Talk and reading at the Tenafly Public Library, Tenafly, NJ
November 2 – 7 pm Talk and reading at the Nyack Library, Nyack, NY
November 16 – 7 pm Appearance, Q & A, and live podcast interview with Rich Ackerman of WFAN at the Bergino Baseball Clubhouse, 67 East 11 Street, in Manhattan, NY
November 18 – 7:30 pm Talk and reading at the Leonia Public Library, Leonia, NJI love to give talks at libraries, social centers, etc. If you’d like to have me come and talk and read, please feel free to e-mail me at danaabrand@yahoo.com.
As the holidays approach, a couple of people have asked me if I am going to have the same holiday deal this year as I had last year. I am. In a few weeks, I’m going to announce that if you want to buy a discounted copy or copies of either of my books (The Last Days of Shea or Mets Fan) with a unique and personalized inscription, all you have to do is e-mail me at the e-mail address above, telling me how many copies you want and telling me a little about the Mets fandom of the person the book is for. You also have to give me the address to which I can send the books and I’ll give you my address to which you can send a check. The price will be $17.50 including postage for either book, but less per copy if you order more than one (since I can put it all in one package). There, I’ve already announced it. One of my favorite things about last holiday season was writing the personal, individualized inscriptions for the people who ordered books. So if anybody wants to get a head start on the holidays, e-mail me. I’ll get the inscribed books to you right away.
I’m looking forward to the World Series this year. I’ll root for the Giants, but I find myself liking both teams. When was the last time that happened?
