The duo also brought their collaboration to the Housing Works Bookstore Café in New York City, when they co-headlined SPIN magazine's "Liner Notes" series. The sold-out show, which raised $10,000 for the Housing Works AIDS Charity, was moderated by SPIN deputy editor Steve Kandell, and centered around Folds' and Hornby's process of writing the album and collaborating via email. The night also included solo performances by Folds on piano; SPIN notes that "Folds' virtuoso performances brought Hornby's vignettes vividly to life." Read more at spin.com.
