The first episode of Cooking the Books, starring Bennett Madison and The Blonde of the Joke, is now live on the Awl — this, in spite of how Choire’s first reaction when I sent it to him was “Did you guys smoke a bowl before you shot this?” (A: No! We’re just like that! Which is sad.) Please get in touch (emilymagazine at gmail) if you would like to be a guest on this fabulous Internet tv show. Many thanks to Valerie Temple, who shot and edited and who promises to remind us to close the !@!@# window next time.
