Looking for something to do Friday night?

You could go see MAGIC AND BALLOON ARTISTRY BY GENE HERNANDEZ: 6-9 p.m. at Bob Evans Restaurant in Kansas City, Kansas.

You could participate in the BEGINNER CHA CHA AND INTERMEDIATE RUMBA GROUP Dance lesson 7-8 p.m. at Overland Park's Camelot Ballroom.

Or, you could hear STEVE REVARE READ FROM HIS ALMOST-FINISHED NOVEL, BECOMING KRAUTHAMMER.

It's part of the Working Words Series.

When: 7:30 - 8:30, Friday, February 10
Where: Kansas City Public Library’s Plaza Branch, 4801 Main St.

There will be two other students reading as well. We will each read for 20 minutes. Come out and hear what I've been working on for the past 18 months.

Steve

I know, it's been a while. Blah blah blah.
