John Szarkowski signing at ICP tonight

ICP probably has one of the worst institutional Web sites around and their phone system is equally bad. Trying to verify tonight's John Szarkowski book signing, I called the main number and got a dead-end voice menu system. I then tried the "Public Information" number listed on the site. The woman who answered told me I'd called the wrong department and tried to transfer me back into voice mail hell. If "Public Information" doesn't know if there's a book signing tonight, what the heck do they do? A second attempt led me to a curt gentleman who's one word answer to my inquiry was "yes".

Long story short, "yes", there is a John Szarkowski book signing tonight at ICP. If you're out in San Fran, Szarkowski's photography is on display at SFMoMA.
