extempo @ Rabble-Rouser, 64 Main St in Montpelier VT @ 4:00pm
Now in its 10th year, extempo is Vermont's premiere original live storytelling series.

Often about half the participants are veteran storytellers, and half are newcomers trying it for the first or second time. Sign up in advance to give it a try, or just come listen. Arrive early if you want a seat!
- $5 admission. Storytellers admitted FREE.
- Food & beverages available for purchase.
- Open all day. Stories from 4:00 to 6:00.

The Upside @ WBTV-LP, 99.3FM in Burlington VT @ 9:00am
If you're suffering withdrawals since WORST. SONG. EVER., or if you want to GET PUMPED (as in: your stomach) for next year's big event, then join Gin Ferrara, Patrick Heltz, & Lovejoy as we tackle the hermeneutics of bad pop music. What are the elements that make songs go astray? How does dismantling bad songs draw us together? Why are some people's faves your least faves, and can we still be friends, or do we need to talk? From the discomforting & creepy, to the biased & ignorant, to the ill advised & just plain embarrassing.- FREE to listen live! Audio streaming here: WBTV-LP
- Bad songs play (and are dissected) from 9:00 to 11:00.
