READING: Don't you love Post-it notes? They're convenient, sticky and defintely on our list of things we wish we invented. Tonight at the Post-it Note Reading Series five writers read five stories about: SEASONS. That word would fit nicely on a post-it note.

Tonight the reading is with This American Life’s David Rakoff and Starlee Kine, writers Jorge Just and Joshuah Bearman, and illustrator extraordinaire Arthur Jones.
