Yep. It’s been a while. But didn’t think I would stop blathering on about my book, did you? Check out the latest press/etc mentions…
From an interview with me at Orato:
I saw a story on the BBC the other day about a 300-year-old shopping list that had been found in the UK. For some weird reason, [...]
A couple weeks ago “Milk Eggs Vodka” was a recommended book over at the Barnes & Noble Review’s ‘The Long List,’ which is a rundown of “50 books, CDS, and DVDs to know about now.”
Nice! Especially the part where they called it “surprisingly but absolutely addictive.”
Dang! I totally forgot to mention that I was going to be interviewed live on Sirius Radio Monday afternoon. So, um… “Hey everyone! I was interviewed on the ‘Everyday Food‘ radio show on the Martha Stewart channel Monday!”
Yeah, we talked about grocery lists.
Oops. I forgot to link up my interview on New York City’s NPR station, WFUV. On October 20 I was on Cityscape with George Bodarky, which airs Saturday mornings at 7:30 a.m.
I haven’t listened to it yet. I remember thinking to myself during the interview, “Usually I am much funnier.” I think the reason was [...]
Been slow here lately, but I did get my first actual, cashable royalty check from the book! It was a real thrill but I won’t be retiring any time soon.
Anyway, yesterday I recorded an interview about the book and grocery lists with New York City’s NPR station, WFUV. I’ll post an update when I find [...]
Apparently we were featured in the September 2007 issue of Funny Times Magazine! Yay for us!
See? The book is F-U-N-N-Y. Funny!
Here’s a fun article by Mackenzie Dawson in today’s New York Post:
Book inscriptions, grocery lists, Post-it notes - one man’s trash is truly another man’s treasure.
Particularly if that man’s trash is really weird.
For example, a dated photo that features an older woman standing proudly next to a Christmas tree - which is topped with an [...]
I did a Five Questions With in the Scranton, Pennsylvania paper (but oof — they got the URL wrong! Hope that gets fixed soon). Anyway, thanks Ron!
In his weekly feature, copy editor Ron Davis poses five questions to Bill Keaggy, author of “Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found,” based on the Web site [...]
Yay! A quick mention in the October design annual issue of HOW Magazine: “Laugh until you cry with this hilarious collection of lost-and-found grocery lists.”
Hey St. Louis and the rest of the Midwest — I’ll be interviewed on KMOX Radio (AM 1120) tomorrow morning, July 27, around 8:45 a.m. I’ll be on with Debbie Monterrey and Dan Grey on the Total Information AM Show, talking about Milk Eggs Vodka, of course.
Update: Here’s the podcast: Debbie Monterrey and Dan Gray [...]
I was on vacation when this got posted, but the awesome mental_floss magazine is giving away a copy of my book Milk Eggs Vodka as part of the Harry Potter madness. It’s probably too late to enter now, but hey, they called the book “hilarious,” so I’m happy.
The Akron Beacon-Journal says this about Milk Eggs Vodka:
Some of the humor comes from the juxtaposition of commonplace items with the random, like the list by someone who needed Pepsi and “smelly stuff.” Others are funny because they’re vague… the lists alone, and Keaggy’s commentary, are reason enough to read this book.
I’m only linking to this Lenore Skenazy column because I wanted to be able to refer to myself as an “oddball/genius” again. The column originally appeared in Advertising Age but now is out on the wire courtesy of the New York Sun.
St. Louis’ premier restaurant and food tab, Sauce Magazine, published a great review of Milk Eggs Vodka: Grocery Lists Lost and Found in the July 2007 issue. The book and I even got a big blurb of the cover! Excellent.
Absolutely addictive… I challenge you to pick up the book and not read it straight through, [...]
Hey St. Louis, I’ll be a guest on Thomas Crone and Amanda Doyle’s The Wire radio show on KDHX 88.1 FM, the excellent community radio station here in St. Louis. It’ll run 7:30-8 p.m. Central tonight. Listen in!
