Childhood Musings

Do you have that first letter to a boy? 

Adults read things they wrote as kids this Sunday. (CBC Radio)

Something you wrote your parents from Summer camp or even an old book report?

It's an open mic evening and everyone's invited to read those first creations in front of a room full of strangers.

It's fun and sometimes pretty darn revealing. 

These performances will be recorded for broadcast later this Summer. That's at the Artful Dodger on Sunday.
