The University Lecture Series at California State University, Fresno, will sponsor "An Evening with Daniel Handler" (also known as Lemony Snicket), the bestselling children's author in the United States, on Tuesday, March 27, 2007, at 7:30 p.m. at the Satellite Student Union. Lemony Snicket's twelve-part series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, has sold more than 27 million books worldwide. The books feature the tragic and comic adventures of Violet, Klaus, and Sunny (the Baudelaire orphans) as they escape from their wicked guardian, Count Olaf, and a variety of other villains. The first three books were made into a hit 2004 movie called Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, starring Jim Carrey and Meryl Streep. The author's books will be available for sale and autographing after the lecture.
The Satellite Student Union is located on the north side of the campus. Enter from Barstow. Turn south on Maple Avenue, which ends at the Satellite Student Union. Free parking for this event will be available in lots J, O, and P.
Tickets are available at the Information Center in the Student Union. Advance purchase is recommended; it is anticipated that this event will sell out. Advance tickets are $2 for Fresno State or University High students; $6 for Fresno State faculty, staff, Alumni Association, seniors, or other students; and $10 for general admission. General admission tickets sold on the day of the event, if available, are slightly higher in price. For information about ordering tickets by mail, call (559) 278-8116.
The Piccadilly Inn-University, which is across the street from campus, has set aside rooms that can be reserved, first come, first served, at the rate of $92 per night, including tax. Call 1-800-HOTEL-US or (559) 224-4200. Ask for the "Lemony Snicket" rooms.
