Summary: Local humorist Tom Waters registers his dislike for the one-dimensional portrayal of writers in films, the coin-toss of putting on boxer shorts in the dark, Diane Keaton, and...babies. After that, poet Sara Ries reports on abstract women, elastic air, and safety pins. And finally, various Rooftop poets gravitate to the open mic like moths to a simile.

Reading hosted by Lisa Forrest. Podcast recorded and hosted by Dennis Reed.
