THURSDAY, JULY 28, I’ll be playing solo at BRIDGEPORT WHOLE FOODS, 7380 SW Bridgeport Rd., Tigard. It’s a barbecue, a benefit for the Willamette Writers Group (and specifically for the awards program for kids). The barbecue starts at 4 p.m. and runs till 7 p.m.; I’m on at 5.

This is the first time I’ve been able to break into the Willamette Writers Group; I’m not the entertainment for the annual conference itself, but the benefit barbecue is important, and I’m glad they’re having me do it. I do hope you can come. (If you’re in, or going to be in, the Portland area, it’ll be easy.)

Since this is a writers’ event, a barbecue, and a benefit for kids, I’ll be doing some songs about writing, songs about food, and songs for kids. Expect the usual run-of-the-mill songs about death, lost love, betrayal, religion, and dead animals, too. I will have copies of the Deathgrass album with me, and you can purchase one if you haven’t done so already. (They make great gifts, too.)

DIRECTIONS: If you’re coming from the north (Portland), take Exit 290 off I-5 and turn right on Lower Boones Ferry Road. At the first intersection, Lower Boones Ferry Rd. angles off to the left; if you keep going straight, you’re on Bridgeport Rd., and only a block and a half from Bridgeport Whole Foods, which will be on your left, across from Bridgeport Plaza. (And if you’re coming from the south—Salem, Eugene, &c.—get off at Exit 290 and turn LEFT on Lower Boones Ferry Rd. Rest of the directions are the same.)

Gate fee for the barbecue is $5. They’re also soliciting donations of new or used books for the Willamette Writers Books for Kids program. Got any? Bring ‘em. Hope to see you there.

Joe
