Folks of Greater Lansing — and those who travel — “¡Vámonos! / Let’s Go!” is coming this Saturday, December 6, at AA Creative Corridor (1133 S. Washington Ave.)! It’s a special program with great talent from the local community and various parts of Michigan. Light refreshments will be available at this alcohol-free event. A shout-out to Sandra Cade and Elizabeth Warren: Your helping hands are precious!

Music
A special experience with instrumentation awaits you:
- Jazz-band The Headz performs live at the top of each hour–8, 9, & 10pm. I shared the stage with these three brothers a few years back, and am excited to hear their riveting tunes!

Word-Art Guests @ 9pm
I last performed with these friends in 2011 at “Light in the Dark: Words of Life, Love, and Loss“, fundraiser for The Listening Ear Crisis Center:
Chey, myself, and Claire at “Light in the Dark.”
- Claire Vallotton has made Greater Lansing home in recent years. Her witty words always move and delight me! She will read from her creative-non-fiction book in progress, Full Reign of the Woods: The Biography of a Childhood on the Lost Coast.
- Lansing-native Chey Davis (Collection) joins us from Midland. What a keen, passionate poet! Get ready for a variety of verse including work from her new chapbook, Sweet Cyanide Center, a quiet glimpse into an incomplete and untold history of the 100 years of lynching.

There will be an open mic during the 8 o’clock hour!
