From the desk of Dan:

RE: Spoken Word
On April 28th there will be a spoken word version of 950 Watts (KTRU sponsored events live at Rice University), and we're looking for people to provide the words, i.e. to read their original prose/poetry/other. There are no restrictions on form or content; feel free to be creative (multimedia readings are encouraged). If you're interested in reading, please get in touch with me at dsanta@rice.edu. The more readers, the more interesting it will be.

The live readings will take place in the Brown Garden in the Rice University Ley Student Center biginninng at 9:00 pm. Call 713-527-4050 for more information.

Upcoming Kayumanggi CD release

Koy (Many of you know him from the Presidents) is about to release a cd of his solo project Kayumanggi. All of the songs are his original compositions and are in Tagalog (Filipino language)

The CD will include performances from several other musicians you may know: Oliver Eclarinal, Ted Jaceldo, Mario Vela, Tchiya Amet, Dwayne Moore, and Annemarie Scandalis.


____________________________________________________
Upcoming travel

Fall 1999 travel will be determined and posted before the end of April. If you have ideas or want information, be sure to contact me soon. Tentatively: October may take us to the Navajo Nation Fair in Shiprock. Thanksgiving-time travel is very much up in the air. December looks like a white Christmas in northern New Mexico. Plan ahead.
