Tree ear found on the path outside the UNB–STU Student Union Building on my way into the building, marked-up to commemorate the show.

Started the program with a set from the CD Snake in the Heart (Tia Chucha Press, 1994) by Chicago spoken word artists: "Malcom is 'bout more than wearing a hat" by Michael Warr; "Schoolyard of Broken Dreams" by Marvin Tate + D'Settlement; "Undertaker" by Patricia Smith; "Liquid Thoughts" by David Hernandez + Street Sound.

I then played tracks 1-18 from Canadian writer Paulo da Costa's CD Notas de rodapé in Portugese.

After show outro I played the song "Cockroach" by BronweN.

Walked out of the building into a sprinkle of rain and this . . .

Murray Schafer, Go Now (chapters 1 & 2) by Richard Hell, "Vive le (for Henri Chopin)" by Paul Dutton, and ended with « Pandore » par Mitsiko Miller.
