I truly wish Joe Heaney were still alive so you might have him to this. I miss the man.

Bill Kennedy, many thanks. I'm an Old Milwaukean needing an excuse to travel north again. I hope I can get away. I appreciate your posting dates, times and costs (it's almost all free!)

$10 is still a bargain, $5 was a steal, just so no one is surprised by the price difference if they go, I think the $5 was directed to the student audience

Wish I had known before I was committed to something else. Damn. It's a yearly event? Will they put me on a mailing list?
