Performance (7:30 pm)
Kenneth Radnofsky kciks off "Reed All About It!" a miniseries of twentieth-century reed music, with a performance of Pulitzer Prize winning-music. This promises to be quite good; the organizers have clearly mastered the art of the witty pun, after all.

Erg Test (11:00 am)
No, this isn't an erg fest, since it will only last about 7 minutes, but I will be there this time, grunting and sweating with the rest of them, so that ought to make up for the shorter time duration.

Movie - High School
(7:00 pm)

I couldn't for the life of me figure out why there were so many Fredrick wiseman movies showing this week, until I remembered what my good friend Jon (whom I love more than Anna, even if he didn't tell me his address in Africa) said.
More on Tuesday.

Searles 315

Boat Show
(9:00 am - 4:00 pm)

Another Lecture
(6:30 pm)

You know that river down near Fort Andross? If it has captured your imagination, like me, then you should go listen to Amy Poland deliver her talk, "Currents of Change: Understanding the Androscoggin." Androsoggin. I love that word.

Beam Classroom. VAC
