00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.910 align:middle line:90%


00:00:04.910 --> 00:00:08.420 align:middle line:84%
I'm happy to see you all
back, and happy to have

00:00:08.420 --> 00:00:13.100 align:middle line:84%
this opportunity to introduce
Jane Miller to a Tucson

00:00:13.100 --> 00:00:15.300 align:middle line:90%
audience.

00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:19.880 align:middle line:84%
Of course, I have a few
thousand announcements first.

00:00:19.880 --> 00:00:22.610 align:middle line:84%
If you didn't get a
schedule of events,

00:00:22.610 --> 00:00:24.950 align:middle line:84%
there's a stack on
the refreshment table.

00:00:24.950 --> 00:00:25.740 align:middle line:90%
Please stay.

00:00:25.740 --> 00:00:28.250 align:middle line:84%
I understand the
union made a mistake

00:00:28.250 --> 00:00:31.380 align:middle line:84%
and sent us a double
order of brownies.

00:00:31.380 --> 00:00:33.380 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:33.380 --> 00:00:37.620 align:middle line:90%


00:00:37.620 --> 00:00:41.520 align:middle line:84%
If you didn't get one because
you're not on our mailing list,

00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.380 align:middle line:84%
we'd be very happy to put
you on the mailing list.

00:00:44.380 --> 00:00:47.550 align:middle line:84%
And I put some index cards
on the refreshment table too.

00:00:47.550 --> 00:00:49.650 align:middle line:84%
If you will give us
your name and address,

00:00:49.650 --> 00:00:52.620 align:middle line:84%
we'll be happy to send
future announcements to you.

00:00:52.620 --> 00:00:58.530 align:middle line:90%


00:00:58.530 --> 00:01:04.296 align:middle line:84%
What has been the Mosaic
Readings has a new name.

00:01:04.296 --> 00:01:07.195 align:middle line:84%
It's called the
Lamplight Reading Series.

00:01:07.195 --> 00:01:10.210 align:middle line:84%
It will be in the
same place, still

00:01:10.210 --> 00:01:15.550 align:middle line:84%
at Bentley's Coffee House on
the first Sunday of the month.

00:01:15.550 --> 00:01:20.460 align:middle line:84%
So this Sunday night, the 7th,
will be their next reading

00:01:20.460 --> 00:01:22.110 align:middle line:90%
there.

00:01:22.110 --> 00:01:25.500 align:middle line:84%

00:01:29.050 --> 00:01:31.300 align:middle line:90%
Bentley's is on Speedway.

00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:33.640 align:middle line:84%
About 1400 block

00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.330 align:middle line:90%


00:01:37.330 --> 00:01:38.770 align:middle line:90%
Those readings begin at seven.

00:01:41.370 --> 00:01:44.890 align:middle line:84%
There's a special reading

00:01:44.890 --> 00:01:49.180 align:middle line:84%

00:01:49.180 --> 00:01:55.255 align:middle line:84%
channel 64, which will feature

00:01:55.255 --> 00:01:57.895 align:middle line:90%


00:01:57.895 --> 00:02:02.290 align:middle line:84%
It's sponsored by Unbitten
Tongue Productions.

00:02:02.290 --> 00:02:03.466 align:middle line:90%
I love that name.

00:02:03.466 --> 00:02:04.310 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:02:04.310 --> 00:02:05.130 align:middle line:90%


00:02:05.130 --> 00:02:07.650 align:middle line:84%
Our Pamela Portwood

00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:10.650 align:middle line:84%
And the readers will be
beginning at eight o'clock,

00:02:10.650 --> 00:02:13.590 align:middle line:84%

00:02:34.260 --> 00:02:35.970 align:middle line:84%
That's Tuesday
evening from eight

00:02:35.970 --> 00:02:40.740 align:middle line:84%
to eleven on the Public
Access channel, channel 64,

00:02:40.740 --> 00:02:42.195 align:middle line:90%
and they will be reading live.

00:02:42.195 --> 00:02:46.990 align:middle line:90%


00:02:46.990 --> 00:02:53.000 align:middle line:84%
We have a total of nine readings
between now and November 5th.

00:02:53.000 --> 00:02:59.570 align:middle line:84%
All of the readings except one
will be on Wednesday night.

00:02:59.570 --> 00:03:03.710 align:middle line:84%
Kenneth Koch's reading
will be on Thursday night.

00:03:03.710 --> 00:03:10.310 align:middle line:84%
And the first set of readings
will be in this auditorium.

00:03:10.310 --> 00:03:12.452 align:middle line:84%
And folks who are
reading will also

00:03:12.452 --> 00:03:14.660 align:middle line:84%
be in a different auditorium,
the Harvill Auditorium,

00:03:14.660 --> 00:03:19.260 align:middle line:84%
because we couldn't get this
place for Wednesday night.

00:03:19.260 --> 00:03:21.600 align:middle line:90%
So do make a note of that.

00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:25.580 align:middle line:84%
And then our two final readings
will be student readings.

00:03:25.580 --> 00:03:27.440 align:middle line:84%
And we had a wonderful
time last year

00:03:27.440 --> 00:03:29.720 align:middle line:84%
having the student readings
at the university museum,

00:03:29.720 --> 00:03:31.580 align:middle line:84%
so we're going back
there this year.

00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:33.620 align:middle line:84%
If you weren't able to
come to any of those,

00:03:33.620 --> 00:03:37.760 align:middle line:84%
it's a wonderful place to
sit and listen to poetry.

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:39.260 align:middle line:84%
We're very grateful
to the museum

00:03:39.260 --> 00:03:40.760 align:middle line:90%
for making it available to us.

00:03:40.760 --> 00:03:45.440 align:middle line:90%
