Jan Reid Speech Tonight: The Strange Career of the Rio Grande

Tonight, author and journalist Jan Reid, who's written for Texas Monthly forever and who's penned a stunningly diverse variety of books (including The Improbable Rise of Redneck Rock, The Bullet Meant for Me, and an upcoming book about the history of the song "Layla") will give a talk entitled "Rio Grande, Rio Bravo: History, Celebration and Punishment of a Border Stream."

This man might know more about Austin (and Texas, and boxing, and music, and the Rio Grande) than your dad knows about ex-presidents, so take advantage.

(The talk is the keynote for a graduate conference at UT, being held through the American Studies department.)
