This is to invite readers to join me in Porter Square on Wednesday at 11 am for a book reading (directions) from Max Said Yes! The Woodstock Story. This is a beautifully illustrated book for children by a couple of friends in Los Angeles. To celebrate the hippies of Woodstock and their rediscovery of Third World food, let’s have lunch afterwards at Anna’s Taqueria. Email philg@mit.edu if you’re likely to come!
[Update: I made a couple of videos of the readings with a FlipHD camera. Comments would be welcome. Video 1 has both authors reading; Video 2 is captured closer and has just one reader.]
I lost interest in video 1 after thirty seconds (maybe because I couldn’t see the illustrations/too much random movement). Video 2 was decent, watched the entirety.
I have a tough time understanding how children are going to get much
out of Woodstock. The first video was too far away and neither person could really be seen.
