This Saturday, August 2, I’ll join the poets, musicians, and artists celebrating all things creative at the Index Arts Festival in the tiny town of Index, Washington. There will be live music, readings, an open mic, and art, art, art, art, art.

I’ll be one of the featured participants in the spoken word program, which runs from 11am to 4pm (I’ll go on about noon). I’ll read from An Alien’s Guide and You, Jane, and will have copies of An Alien’s Guide for sale (proceeds will still go to the North Cascades Red Cross for fire relief).

And for those of you who are feeling the heat of summer, the weather forecast for Saturday in Index: 79 degrees F, sunny skies after early morning drizzle, soft breeze. If that sounds and looks like heaven to you, I hope to see you there!
