2. Studio One FRIDAY with Martha Ronk, Brian Teare, and Campos-Quinn

=========================
1. Idiolexicon THURSDAY with Kaya Oakes, Lee Ann Roripaugh, and Cynthia Weyuker
=========================
Most of you probably know Kaya and already know how much fun it is to hear her read. Many of you know how Cynthia and how much she can make you question what you thought you knew about musical saw players. But fewer of us have had the chance to hear Lee Ann Roripugh read. She's making the trek all the way from South Dakota to share from her new book, On the Cusp of a Dangerous Year (SIU Press 2009). Come out for a great evening of poetry, music, prose, and stuff.

That's it. I hope to see you on Thursday. I hope you've had a good weekend. I hope that when you tell anecdotes at parties, they get the big laugh they deserve.

Yours,
Elliot
