"I Had Always Thought ..."

Adam and I will be hosting Garen Patterson's solo show on June 29. Garen is developing his show with David Ford, the Marsh director-in-residence whose class I took back in 2003. I can really see David's influences in Garen's work, and Garen himself is just terrific ... funny, talented, accessible, a hell of a storyteller and musician. We saw him at a house performance in Sonoma this weekend and knew we'd like to offer our backyard.

Here's the info from his flyer. We'd love for you to join us!
