Christina Amini from Chronicle Books wants to have lunch with us:

Now, I’m the editor of The Sexy Book of Sexy Sex and I love my author Kristen Schaal (Mel from Flight of the Conchords), and want to make sure that as many MissionMission fans as possible come on over. There will be food. There will be books. There might be boobs.

Sexy sex lunch! From noon to 1pm, Kristen will sign books and say hi to you, and there will be food. Chronicle is at 680 2nd Street down near the ballpark.

Bay Citizen just published a piece on Judd Apatow’s new book, a humor collection that features some cartoons like the above and benefits 826. Here the filmmaker discusses his involvement with the popular charity:

I help out raising money for 826 LA. Last year, we did a big benefit that was a parody of benefits. We paid tribute to Seth Rogen for the charity work he had not done yet. and had all these big stars paying tribute to him. It was $10,000 a table but we served Kentucky Fried Chicken and Red Bull.

No way!
