-------- Original Message -------- Subject: EQUAASIAN: Equilibrium Queer Asian American spoken word show Date: Mon, 24 Sep 2007 16:24:08 -0700 From: juliana pegues <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hello friends, I'm hoping you'll come to this event this Saturday (details below). It's probably the last time I perform my spoken word for a while, and I would love to see you there. Also, I cannot recommend the two feature performer poets highly enough-- Regie and D'Lo are amazing! A great show, Pizza Luca and all for $5 ($3 students)-- you can't beat that! --Juliana
