Hey Chris, is the Spencer Museum up by the Union?

Yup! Right across the street. Parking is available on the hill (free on most of the downhill side) or in the Union Parking lot (for a fee).

Mmmm, I bet that was fun!

It was great! Jim did an 80-minute variety reading from his earliest to some of his most-recent work, ending with the last scene of Kampus - which kinda blew me away, what with the, um, very formal and academic setting of the evening. Hooray, Jim's my hero!

Dang, wish I would have read this a few days ago, I would have gone. Just finished reading a collection of shorts "The End of the Dreams" by him.
