Funnyman Demetri Martin performed at the Pageant last night, delivering wry one-liners and artfully humorous observations to a packed house of fans. Unfortunately, the comedian was nowhere to be found before the show, at a scheduled book signing set to take place at Subterranean Books.
The whole thing appears to be a simple snafu. Yesterday, Martin's Twitter feed had a post explaining that he'd "completely forgotten" about the signing, and then a second that explained that he'd be there today from 4 to 5 p.m. The "whoops" tweet has since been deleted; here is a screengrab of the Pageant's retweet of an also-deleted post from yesterday. Note the "OneDayLate" hashtag.
All that remains on Martin's Twitter regarding the subject is the following tweet, posted fifteen minutes ago as of press time.
Hi. I will be at SUBTERRANEAN BOOKS in St. Louis TODAY from 4 - 5 pm.

So, if you missed the show last night or were one of the unlucky folks that waited for naught outside of the bookstore yesterday evening, today is your second chance.
