It is hereby announced that there is to be FEASTING and REVELRY on Mayday, Thursday May 1, on CLERKENWELL GREEN in London, from 6pm, to celebrate the release both of Idler 41: The QI Issue, and the Book of Idle Pleasures, both published by Ebury. Copies of the books will be available to buy and the authors will be present. Bards, jesters and musicians will promote merriment, and there will be ale-drinking and carousing. At 9pm we propose to repair to the THREE KINGS of Clerkenwell Close. All the loafers, loungers, ne’er do wells, gate-leaners and layabouts of London Town and beyond are welcome to attend.
"The answer to how to live is to stop thinking about it. And just to live. But you're doing that anyway. However you intellectualise it, you still just live."
