Mortified: Love is a Battlefield tomorrow at the Paradise Lounge
In this week's fishwrap
we chatted with Mortified creator David Nadelberg about social wallflowers, accidental art, and his new romance-themed anthology. It's 275 pages filled with brutally humiliating tales of love and lust and youth. We cannot be the only people who live for this sort of thing.
Tomorrow night, we beg of you: go see the
Mortified Boston stage show at
8 pm at the Paradise Lounge, followed by a book-signing of
Mortified: Love is a Battlefield with Nadelberg himself. It's $12. And
Freeks & Geeks creator/champion of the unpopular kids in high school
Paul Feig hearts the entire venture, so, you know, it's not just us. How awesome is that cover? We love this person, whoever they are. Share the shame, and in the meantime, watch the
Mortified Showbox Show's latest web-isode,
"Everyone's a Critic." (You may remember Will as the guy you wanted to be best friends with after listening to that
This American Life episode,
"Parental Guidance Suggested," in which he read letters that he wrote to his Grandma because he didn't have friends, OMG.) Our heart. It breaks. Continually.
