A big Clean Part is happening this weekend--so big, each of the readers have 3 names: Noah Eli Gordon, Jake Adam York, and Joshua Marie Wilkinson. This is a big one. We're giving out free peanuts and coffee, and Clean Part buttons. You'll have yet another chance at winning a pie, and a chance at meeting Jeff Tweedy (because we know he is a poetry fan, we invited him. He has a concert in Lincoln later that night. Seriously, don't count on meeting him), but your chance at hanging with Gordon, York, and Wilkinson is a sure bet. Be sure to bring some cash--all three of them have killer books (better than Tweedy's) and will likely be selling them at a good price. And this reminds me, also bring cash to buy your sweetie a Clean Part or Octopus Tee. Joey Lynch used his skills to make us some merchandise. Denny, always cool and always available even when he's not, made the rad posters.



A rocking the Clean Part tee.


Some Octopus tees.

They're all different colors and sizes. If you want one, but NYC or SF is too far a drive from Lincoln, backchannel me and I'll send you one. We're trying to make a few bucks for Octopus Books. I'll tell you about that later.
