Well y’all, WIDR WEEK is upon us again! That wondrous time of the year where the DJs of Kalamazoo’s only source of Radio Evolution guilt us all in to donating money to keep the boards lit up, the turntables spinning, and the tower broadcasting 24/7.
Of course, WIDR WEEK also means a slew of fantastic events! This WIDR week is no exception!
The WIDR ALL-NIDR kicked off the week on Monday, bringing oodles of live bands to the studio back to back. Good times were had by all, I was informed! Tonight, The Doctor hosted a special WIDR-themed Cinema Fantastique at the 411 Club featuring the film Faster Pussycat: Kill! Kill!
Tomorrow, however, as every self-respecting youth in a college town knows, is the start of the weekend, and the start of a THREE DAY WIDR CELEBRATION.
Things will start out soft and low with fantastic music by
GRAHAM PARSONS AND THE GO ROUNDS
ALEX YOUNG
Then, the real attraction begins, as John Brakefield and Emily Townshend share their poetry. It will be so good to hear it.
The shindig starts at 7:30 at the Vine Neighborhood Gallery (AKA Vine Neighborhood Association, AKA KCAC) and goes HARD ALL NIGHT. Please bring a minimum $3 donation to help keep WIDR WIDRFUL.
See y’all tomorrow!
