BookPeople John Krasinski, best known for playing the charming everyman, Jim Halpert, on The Office, will be in Austin this Friday and Saturday! On Friday, November 13th at 7PM he will debut his new film Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, based on the book written by David Foster Wallace. The Austin Premiere at the Alamo Ritz wi...ll feature a special appearance and Q & A with Krasinski following the film. On Saturday, November 14th at noon, make your way to BookPeople for a meet and greet with Krasinski as he signs Brief Interviews with Hideous Men postcards. Krasinski may seem an unlikely candidate to adapt and direct the late David Foster Wallace's caustic exploration of the nature of men. However, he proves himself up to the challenge and delivers a provocative and darkly comedic film.

Event Rules:
John Krasinski will sign postcards from his new film, but will NOT sign any other memoribilia.
Candid photos are fine, but no posed photos.

Time:12:00PM Saturday, November 14th
Location:603 N. Lamar Austin, TX 78703

Thank you to BookPeople & The Alamo Drafthouse. He was really nice and it was cool to hear him talk about something so important to him, the book he adapted into the movie.

It’s never too early to start hating the holiday season: crowds at the mall, un-knotting massive tangles of Christmas lights, eggnog hangovers and waking up next to a naked, old, french Santa. Wait, that last one hasn’t happened to you? Ap...

One of my favorite things about working at BookPeople is getting to meet authors and have them sign my books. As a book collector (hoarder?), I collect first editions and especially signed first editions. Right now we have a LOT of signed books in stock, for you fellow collectors out there...
