While I Know You Want to Bestow Me with Birthday Gifts

You should think about doing the following instead:

Chris Goodman, author of 3 self-published chapbooks (and a regular Get Lit-er) will be reading his work at DV8 on Saturday, April 26th, along with two other writers. An extravaganza of artistic mediums, the evening will also feature local bands (you get the idea, band, reader, band, reader, etc.). While there is no telling what Mr. Goodman will come up with, his past work features topics such as the bums of Philadelphia, women he has loved and observations on life, work and our always-interesting city, Greensburg.
