Excuse me while I whip this out

Liberty Hall is bringing us Mel Brooks' 1974 comedy classic "Blazing Saddles"! If you've never seen this film, or any Mel Brooks film, don't miss it! "To ruin a western town, a corrupt political boss appoints a black sheriff, who promptly becomes his most formidable adversary." Thurs Feb 6, 7pm!

Story Slam is this Friday at the Arts Center. Story Slam is a monthly event where the audience tells stories. So you should go participate, or just sit back and judge those who do! This month's theme is "Caught". We were thinking of flooding the place with stories of when we were 13 and our parents caught us...well...just come find out. Friday, Feb 7, 7pm (it's a week early this month due to Valentine's Day).

Burroughs, Burroughs, Burroughs. Sick of all the Burroughs events yet? We're not. There's another film showing on Feb 6 at 7pm about William Burroughs' life. This one is called "Words of Advice: William S. Burroughs on the Road". FREE

Also in the Burroughs realm is another event at the Lawrence Arts Center that we're very interested in. A staged reading of The Nervous Set is happening on Sat Feb 8th. It's a jazz musical about the beat generation. Director Ric Averill will have a full jazz band and equity actors performing this reading. But there are two elements that always get our attention: it's FREE and they sell BOOZE. See you there!
