I had a group of native mid-Western ffriends who would joke about having all-white food parties– Cheese Whiz, white Wonder bread, macaroni and cheese, marshmallow salad, egg salad, mashed potatoes, milk, potato salad, vanilla pudding, oatmeal, etc.

(Incidentally, I’m mixed-race AND melanin-challenged; 2 of my best pals are Asian & Black, but all 3 of us love Garrison Keillor & plan to be there!)

Those guys do an amazing job with their program of author appearances–and it’s always all free.
Thank you Joe Davitch and Bill Starr!

How does one get a ticket? Does one camp out overnight? I so want to be there!

They need to do the show there again, or somewhere in Decatur. Also saw Keillor in a solo speaking performance in Greenville, SC a couple years ago, and he had the audience wrapped around his little finger.

He is one of the greatest humorists and storytellers and just plain awesome people of our age, and it makes me sad to think he was so poorly treated in recent trips down here. Shame.

Hope I can get into the Agnes Scott appearance!
