persormances at Yammer

A mini feature was done with Janet Kuypers (something Lisa Hemminger didn’t do), because Janet was moving to Pennsylvania (albeit temporarily), where Scars Publications even had a Post Office box in Intercourse, Pennsylvania. Video highlights have just been uploaded to youtube, so enjoy videos and audio files from the live performance.
Music was also performed throughout the evening during this “feature” with music by John Yotko, but the music was not recorded, so we only have these poetry readings from this feature evening.
