Events

  • January 19 – For the first time since 1949, an anonymous black-clad man, known as the Poe Toaster, failed to show up at the tomb of Edgar Allan Poe at the Westminster Hall and Burying Ground, early on the morning of Poe's birthday. The absence of the man, who would toast Poe with Cognac and leave three red roses at the grave (along with the rest of the Cognac), disappointed more than 30 people who stayed up all night to be present at the appearance.Kennedy, Randy, [http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/19/poe-toaster-is-a-no-show/#more-68805 "Edgar 'Poe Toaster' Is a No-Show"], January 19, 2010, "Arts Beat" column, p C2, The New York Times, retrieved same day
