Start: 7:00 pm

Author David Yoo will present his memoir The Choke Artist, capturing the fears, insecurities, and vicious cycles of the anxiety sufferer with insight and a large dose of humor, in a conversation with journalist Dave Cullen (Columbine).

In this brutally honest collection of often cringe-inducing episodes, David Yoo perfectly captures the cycle of failure and fear from childhood through adulthood. Whether he's wearing four layers of clothing to artificially beef up his slim frame, routinely testing highlighters against his forearm to see if he indeed has yellow skin, or preemptively sabotaging promising relationships to avoid being compared to former boyfriends, Yoo celebrates and skewers the insecurities of anxious people everywhere.

Facebook RSVP encouraged, but not required.
