Then a short introduction video played on the screen that talked a little about the history of the internet and then introduced Hank to the stage. Each copy was hand-signed by Hank, which he had done before the show and seemed a superhuman feat considering the sheer amount of people in the theatre and the fact that each and every one of them had received a book. The event was kicked off by a representative from Brookline Booksmith, who had been responsible for passing out copies of “An Absolutely Remarkable Thing” to people as they entered the theatre. On the wall behind the stage was a white screen with a photo of Hank’s new book projected onto it.
In the left corner was a lectern with a microphone attached. The stage was set with a table and two chairs, as well as a guitar on a stand at the front of the stage and a stool next to it. And by the looks of things, that capacity was filled on this particular September Wednesday. With a huge seating section on the floor as well as two balconies, small sconces in the walls, and standing room, it seats about 1,200 people. The Wilbur Theatre, which resides right in the middle of the Theatre District in Downtown Boston, is absolutely stunning. Hank then proceeded to read an excerpt from the book, telling the audience to follow along in their copies, so that it was almost like reading time in the biggest fifth-grade class ever.”
