The Vig

Wordstock is this weekend, and while the focus is on John Hodgman, I’m looking forward to seeing William Least Heat-Moon.  Pete in Parkrose turned me on to him back when we were young 20-something idealists.  I’ve probably read Blue Highways a half dozen times over the years.  It’s never gotten old for me.  Heat-Moon will be appearing Sunday at 1:30.

As long as you’re there, you’re gonna want to get there early.  Oregon’s poet laureate, Lawson Inada, will be reading at 12:30 along with former Lewis & Clark instructor Vern Rutsala.  Lawson gave a spectacular reading at Wordstock a couple of years ago.  I can’t wait to see him again this time around.
