REMINDER

Detroit Noir event tomorrow:

Wed., November 14, 7pm
Borders (Arborland)
3527 Washtenaw Ave.
Ann Arbor, MI

Fun Fact: This Borders location is store #303.

In The Matrix, the number on the door of the apartment where Keanu Reeves goes to meet the Oracle is -- #303.

And the store opened in this location during The Matrix's run in theaters.

Lolita Hernandez and I will read from our stories tomorrow night, and Olsen and Hocking will kick-off the event with their fire-juggling act.

(As I've mentioned before, they are FIRE-JUGGLERS!)

Hope to see you there.
