Just e-mailed the agonizing & frustrating consent to cancel tonight’s show, in the face of a “massive storm” whose first flake has not yet fallen. All the schools closed early and the groceries are flooded by panicked buyers, so I suppose the night would have been ruined in any case. Sweet that we went out on a full house. Best guess is that we’ll lose Saturday as well. We added a Sunday matinee. Who knows? I think this train is derailed. I’m glad everyone was having fun in the hours before–.

Cathy Smith Bowers has been named NC Poet Laureate. The news report says she works at UNCA, but I’ve never heard of her. That was probably a major point in her favor.
