and in no way your fault, just irritating, they misspelled his name, hope the schools English and language courses are up to a better standard than their social media correspondent :P

Will you be there Jan and busily transcribing away?

Thanks. Fixed.

I doubt it. While my credit card might stand the pain, I really need to not spend the money. Sorta wish I'd known about this one first. I'd *love* to see JMS in a Q&A with college students.

So it says current and past students, not open to the public. Do you think they'll be checking people's IDs at the door? Do you think JMS will demand swift punishment for outsiders?

Nah, he posted that it's a pretty small venue - only about 300 seats so students would have first priority.

They just posted a photo of JMS speaking to the student newspaper, the Sun.

Some folks may remember several years ago when JMS paid for a print run for them when there was some shenanigans with financing a print run that was critical of the college board (details here: http://jmsnews.com/forums/showthread.php?p=70692 ) So I'm betting that JMS is pretty much a hero to them.

Some photos and an interview from JMS' visit to Southwestern College yesterday and today:

Here's a great photo with JMS and John Iacovelli and William Virchis who we can thank for buying JMS first paid play...you've got it, 'Snow White'!

Hmm...I know John Iacovelli's done theatrical set design. Maybe JMS can have him do that for him again? That would be cool.
