This week, Ella talked about the Peter Pan prequel, Peter and the Starcatchers.  You can find it at an independent online bookstore (and support the show) by following this link:

Shop Indie Bookstores

Hilltown Families can hook you up with a four-pack of tickets to They Might Be Giants’s family matinee on New Years Eve at the Calvin.

Remember, the family four-pack special is only for advance tickets, so if you don’t win ’em, you should buy ’em soon.

Lord only knows how this came out without me noticing, but it’s on its way now and you’ll hear it soon.

At the 8:00 TMBG show, Mr. John Hodgman (the Deranged Millionaire) will appear.  Legendary Holy Modal Rounders Peter Stampfel opens.

Alas, neither will appear at the 3:00 family show.  So you should go to both.
