If you’re in L.A. this weekend and are looking for something to do, we are hooking you the fuck up! Celebrated rogue filmmaker Spike Jonze and cult writer/publisher/editor Dave Eggers will be the focus of Saturday night’s event at FAMILY Bookstore on Fairfax. The event spotlights the release of Jonze’s new book, There Are Many of Us, in addition to Eggers’ first illustration book, It Is Right to Draw Their Fur. Check out their descriptions below.
Filled with gorgeous photography, behind-the-scenes ephemera, and funny, inspiring interviews, There Are Many of Us celebrates the uniquely spontaneous making of Spike Jonze’s new movie I’m Here (click the link to watch the trailer), a boy-meets-girl love story, set in LA, experienced by robots. The book includes an original CD soundtrack as well as a DVD of the thirty-minute movie I’m Here, with special bonus content.
It Is Right to Draw Their Fur is Dave Eggers’s first collection of drawings. Most of these works are of unusual mammals, most often accompanied by slogans with ancient, heroic, or just plain odd overtones. This full-color package will be a combination of 26 large-sized prints and an accompanying booklet.
The show will also include a live acoustic performance by Aska, the artist who scored Jonze’s film. Admittance is free, so get there early! Check out the full flyer after the jump.

Based on released excerpts, it should be fairly revealing and informative as he moves forward with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh in Miami. See an excerpt, behind the scenes video, and pictures below.
