Tight right?!? Check it out if you've got time. I unfortunately will be at work. :(

Dude... so going to lunch today... we frequent Tan Tan on Peyton Gin. Well we were taking the Peyton Gin exit off of 183 South and this driver, right in front of us, literally right in front of us, swerves left to get off the exit ramp, then changes his mind and swerves immediately right to get back on the ramp. He loses control of the car and runs into the right barrier... then runs into the left barrier. Crazy!

Eliot, Ezra Pound, Anne Sexton, and Dylan Thomas. Readers are drawn from the local community and have included professors and students at the university as well as local actors and authors.

The readings take place on the plaza directly east of the Ransom Center's main entrance. The Center is located at 21st and Guadalupe on the southeast corner of the university campus. Poetry on the Plaza is free and open to the public. In inclement weather, readings will be held in the Ransom Center's Lobby.
