Happy Birthday to me (part 2)

Hi folks:  Yes you read that right! My other birthday is Tommorow! (10/27/ Wouldn't you like to know . LOL)
Remember back on 9/14/ 11 I told you I was turning 12 and Celebrated 2 birthdays a year?  feel free to go back to the blog for that week and check it out if you don't remember or if you've only started viewing this recently for details !  Tommorow is my actually birthday and I turn 45 this year   (If you're REALLY CURIOUS, FEEL FREE TO DO THE MATH FOR YOURSELF! OTHERWISE JUST READ ON!)  Other birthdays of note include : Poetri ( my "cosmic twin"  because he was also  born on 10/27/ Wouldn't you like to know .)  Steve Goodie (11/4/ Wouldn't you like to know.)  More on this later.  Here's what's going on this week

These poets can also participate in the readings; however, we obviously need folks who can staff the table during the reading periods.We also need volunteers to staff the ticket booth on Saturday for 1 hour shifts.The organizers need to know the availability of volunteers ASAP.
