The book launch for David Sipress's memoir What's So Funny? was held at the Housing Works Bookstore in Lower Manhattan on April 3. This was the Sunday of MoCCA Fest 2022, so there was a conflict built into the schedule. A cab ride downtown from the venue to the bookstore probably could have accomplished one's aims. Still, I had such a successful Saturday at MoCCA Fest this year that I skipped Sunday's session altogether, even though I had paid for it in advance. In lieu of visiting the bookstore on Crosby Street, I decided instead to order by mail a signed copy from the bookstore. The outcome, as one might expect, is a copy of the book that is signed but impersonal.
