John Waters: Mr. Know-It-All
The theme of the month, thanks to the Met Gala, seems to be "camp." Not camp as in flannel shirts and hiking boots, but camp as in John Waters and Divine. Appropriately, our filthy master of camp (although he is many things other than camp, too) is coming to Seattle to promote his new book, Mr. Know-It-All: The Tarnished Wisdom of a Filth Elder, about his experience "fail[ing] upward in Hollywood." He will be joined onstage by David Schmader. Waters is one of the best conversationalists America has, and we should hang on every word this Filth Elder has to vomit.
