HEAD CASE at the Bakken

11 Nov

Attention Twin Cities metro area readers who for some strange reason have a gap in their schedules, and are interested in taking a flyer on a performance by a relative stranger, AND are willing to do so at extremely short notice:

I will be doing my slide show at the Bakken Library and Museum, as part of their Bakken Evening Out program. For those of you who just clicked the link and came back, yes, the Bakken is indeed a small, independent electricity and magnetism museum. You got a problem with that, chief?

I’m actually very excited to do this show. I’ve performed the slide show version of HEAD CASE in bookstores and in libraries, on college campuses and in bars. This time, I’m breaking it up into 15-minute segments that will run on the hour starting at 5:30 p.m.

How will this go? It depends. The show, which is a mock scientific lecture patterned after the real scientific slide shows I watched while researching the book, tends to function on two settings: KILL and EAT IT HARD. (If you come, secretly hope for EAT IT HARD. It’ll be uncomfortable, but human.)
