This Friday, there will be an "Arts in the Alley" event from 4-8pm in conjunction with Fourth Friday festivities in downtown Madison. Kids can pick up a Treasure Map starting at 4pm on Mulberry. From there, they can complete a scavenger hunt at local businesses. In the alley, there will be artists doing plein air painting, The Chestnuts (my band will be playing), and perhaps most exciting (for followers of this blog, at least), poets will read their original works from the loading dock.
Jack Ramey, featured above, will be one of the poets included, as will Angela Elles, Johnny Clifton Knight, and yours truly. Note about the video: it's a tease-- my battery ran out! So come out and see the whole poem this Friday. Here's the line-up:
Line-Up for Music /Poetry on the Loading Dock

Hope to see you!
