to vice, innocence must always seem only a superior kind of chicanery

this thursday night i'm at arise! bookstore in minneapolis, talking about locked out on a double-bill with a fascinating speaker from the innocence project of minnesota.

susan thurston myster is a forensic anthropologist at hamline university. she should offer a great perspective on the project's efforts to give investigative and legal assistance to inmates with provable claims that they have been wrongly imprisoned. a free showing of the documentary burden of innocence will follow, tracking former prisoners' lives after their wrongful convictions.

all are welcome!

Looks more like a poster for a punk rock show than a book engagement.

I like it. I like it a lot.

Of the brief time I spent in MN, I still have a soft spot for Arise!, Bob's Java Hut, and Little Tiujana's (of course, the Triple Rock needs no mention).

I like Mike's comment...Arise! as the intersection of punk and academia...punkademia?

Anyhoo, take that poster home and impress the kids with how hip Dad is. Looking forward to the talk.

yeah, this poster definitely gets a priviliged position on the wall. i'm guessing that punkademics don't wear suits, so i'll try to dress appropriately thursday...
