A most excellent prank: Anton Chekov, apparently forgetting that he died 100 years ago, appears unnanounced at a Barnes & Noble for a reading and signing. Reactions from civilians and store employees cover the whole range and are wonderful. (link from jazzfish)
The crowd clapped as we exited the stage. Tom instructed me to take our sign down, and then walked over to the other sign and handed it to ["Chekov"] very politely. I went up to him and shook his hand, thanking him for having us. He smiled and replied, "You bet. Please come back the next time he writes a new play."
