Brad Rosen Benefit Reading: Save the Date

Grab an eraser and find your calendar.  Flip to this Friday, February 19.  Erase whatever’s written down for your evening.  Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Now write this in:  Brad Rosen Benefit Reading, at the Blue Monk, 7 – 11 pm.

What’s that, you say?  What’s this event, and why am I canceling my kitten CPR classes* to attend?

Because this is your chance to hear readings from Tom Spanbauer, Monica Drake, Margaret Malone, Cheryl Strayed and Emily Chenoweth, as well as music from Highwater, Nicole Berke and Closureyes.

And if that’s not enough incentive (because you’re made of stone?), consider the cause.  Brad Rosen is a local writer, musician, and carpenter who spent the 2009/10 holiday season in OHSU’s Intensive Care Unit with a spinal infection.  The benefit will help him pay his towering medical bills.

This is going to be a great show, and it’s for a great cause.  See you all there.

*  If you are actually resuscitating kittens on Friday 2/19 at 7 pm, you may be excused.  (But I bet the organizers take donations.)
