There's No Time For Love, Charlie Brown – w/ Amy Spalding & Kayla Cagan

YA authors Kayla Cagan & Amy Spalding (& Banjo L. Cagan, silently) join us for a spirited roundtable about 1973's There's No Time For Love, Charlie Brown — a salty indictment of pop art, in which we learn about the disappointments of the public school system, as well as the theory of transitive kissing. Topics of discussion include: getting Charlie Brown title cards tattooed on your butt; Peanut People™; the phrase "when they stopped aging"; jokes about New Math (do they hold up?) ; a long line of toilet cloggers; The Most Depressing Speech We've Heard In A Charlie Brown Special; Kayla offers a Magoo-ish theory; the Great Meatlump Situation (playing tonight at 8pm, $5 at the door); Jazz: Musical Improv?; Joseph Cool, of the Carolina Cools; being mistaken for a basketball with glasses; We're Up All Night To Get Marcy; The Manic Pixie Little-Red-Haired-Girl; the theory of transitive kissing; sliders. Kayla Cagan is a writer. Piper Perish is her debut YA novel, with a 2nd novel on the way from Chronicle Books in 2018. She has contributed comics, plays and essays to assorted collections, including Girl Crush Zine, Womanthology, and Unite and Take Over: Stories Inspired by the Smiths. Cagan lives with her husband Josh and their chihuahua Banjo near that Starbucks. No, the other one. http://kaylacagan.com Amy Spalding is the author of several young adult novels including Kissing Ted Callahan (& Other Guys), The Reece Malcolm List, and the forthcoming Summer of Jordi Perez. She grew up in St. Louis, but now lives in the better weather of Los Angeles. By day, she manages the digital media team for an indie film advertising agency.

Cagan is six feet, four inches tall, and looks as if he was chiseled from solid marble by the hand of a god. A single look from him has been known to make grown men weep, as if they were staring into the center of infinity itself. Time and light bend around him, and as previously stated, he is tall and handsome.
