The Joys of working many jobs...

..instead of one good one, is that I have been too tired to even think about adding my two cents here..and trust me, that ain't easy for an Italian girl...but here's is something to add to the dance card for Saturday, Sept. 24 - Mango Madness African Dance Party, a benefit for Ko-Falen Cultural Center in Bamako, Mali. My friends, Baba Wague Diakite and Ronna Neuenshwander, local ceramic artists, started this center in Wague's native Mali to provide a resource for native artisans and visiting artists to educate, inspire and preserve the arts in Mali. It's at The Plant, 939 SE Alder, 7 PM to midnite, tickets at the door or at www.ko-falen.org. Music by Jujuba, DJS, there will be food, no-host bar, African market and a raffle and silent auction. African dancing and helping a good cause - what's not to love?

Also, a little bird has told me that Paula Sinclair will be one of the openers for John Doe at Dante's on Oct. 22....
