An Evening with Cabinet: The Art of Hypochondria

  Feb. 9, The Kitchen, 512 W. 19th St. (betw. 10th & 11th Aves.), 212-255-5793; 7, Free.

Most of us with a Jewish mother have had a delightful sentimental education in the ways of hypochondria, but we probably haven't been schooled in it by a panel of well-educated hipsters. Tonight, this too will change. Brian Dillon, U.K. editor of Cabinet and author of The Hypochondriacs: Nine Tormented Lives, speaks with Princeton’s D. Graham Burnett and Bard’s Marina van Zuylen.

Bottom Line: I'd go but I’m pretty sure I have an abscess somewhere. Maybe it's lymphoma or Lyme disease.
