Tickets go on sale Friday at noon for this year's New Yorker Festival, which, as usual, has a lot going for it. Highlights of the three-day, early-October series include talks with Werner Herzog, Alec Baldwin, Steve Carell, Lorrie Moore, and Neil Gaiman. An event featuring newly-svelte actor John Goodman has been mysteriously canceled, but there will be a panel, Live from New York, featuring Seth Meyers, the head writer for Saturday Night Live, and other TBA cast members. An opening-night screening of David Fincher's film The Social Network (the Facebook movie) will be followed by a discussion with the film's stars, Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake. And to keep track of it all, there's a New Yorker Fest app in the Apple Store & Android Market today!
