reading at the Baltimore Museum of Art on Saturday for the Baker artist award ceremony

Okay, so this is pretty neat. The BMA (Baltimore Museum of Art) has this killer show for all the Baker award winners. Even the little "b" awards winners like me. We're performing and reading and showing our stuff on Saturday, October 1st. At the very least, you should see Gary's huge black and white outside/inside room -- it'll mess your head up something fierce.

post script: this means I'm going to miss most of Dave and Aparna's going away party. Bummed. I love you guys.
