An Evening with Julian Lage

The Redstone Room

Wednesday, January 16, 7:30 p.m.

Welcome to the Reader's first What's Happenin' section of 2013! We're glad to have you with us, and as a way of starting the new year on the right foot, I've made a resolution: I have decided that, from this day forward, I will no longer seethe with jealousy and resentment every time I write about some visiting artist whose talents and accomplishments dwarf my own.

Oh, man. This is gonna be rough.
