Tonight Spike Jonze and Lance Bangs will be at the Union Square Barnes & Noble singing DVDs and talking with TV’s John Hodgman (in a moderated panel-type scenario, not just chit-chatting). The subject of their conversation is Lance and Spike’s new documentary on Maurice Sendak and it’s not really a Q&A, but I bet if you picked your moment and phrased your questions really carefully you could presumably get them to dish about anything you want.
