Keven Grogan came in late (alas) so you will hear him in the 3rd segment talking about Southern Soul and Song and the Artist Talk by Kara Walker and Larry Walker on Saturday Night. I will warn you to come early as seating is limited (save me a seat, please). I love talks like this and Kara and Larry are very interesting, I googled Kara and am intrigued by her Art for Social Change using large silhouette cutouts depicting slightly disturbing southern themes.

Of course I covered events into the future, take a look at the calendar and make plans to attend. Tickets make good presents!
