. Jack's Mannequin have announced several unique events to coincide with the October 4th release of their new album, People and Things. Here are the details we were sent:

On Monday October 3rd at 7pm Jack's Mannequin will host a film screening at the Angelika Theatre in NYC to present short films for each of the songs on People and Things. The 11 short films were commissioned to provide an artistic visual counterpart to the album and were each directed by a different independent director. The screening event will be followed by a stripped-down performance by frontman Andrew McMahon.

On release day, October 4th, Andrew McMahon will stream a live Q&A and performance from the Livestream studios. The streaming event begins at 7pm EST on Tuesday at http://www.livestream.com/jacksmannequin.

On October 6th, for the first time ever Jack's Mannequin will team up with a symphony orchestra.
