july 2, 2009. "varsity letters," reading series. at jla studios, brooklyn.

eric.

liz!

was back at jla in brooklyn on thursday to attend this month's "varsity letters" event. sports journalism heavy-hitters, selena roberts, scott price, and three from the the ny daily news investigative team (michael o'keefe, teri thompson and nathaniel vinton) read from their recently published works that dive deep into some of the biggest stories of recent times (a-rod, clemens, and the tragic death of minor league coach, mike coolbaugh). it made for shocking, sobering, and sometimes somber listening, but it was certainly also a fun evening...

next event in the series is august 6...hope to see you there...
