At one point, on a roll, Kalberg recounted the Liverhead story (another huge laugh), to which moderator Rachel Kushner (of the online journal Soft Targets) added her own anecdote about a San Francisco fixture known as “the Liver Man,” who also wore liver on his head in the late ’70s. “We call that the zeitgeist,” she said in an aside to the audience. “Write it down: ‘zeitgeist.’”

“If I knew that guy was wearing liver in San Francisco,” added Kalberg, once the laughter had died down, “I would have gone up there and hit him on the back of the head.”
