Tomorrow night the Paramount is hosting The Moth, a reading series from New York that is now on the road. Tomorrow's presentation will feature readers on the following topic - "Made to Be Broken: Stories About Disobedience." Contributors to this reading include Lt. Dan Choi, Elna Baker, Mike Daisey and George Dawes. Former Austinist columnist Spike Gillespie submitted a piece but will not be performing with the program after all, a choice she discusses on her blog.

The Byrne-Reed House at 1410 Rio Grande is inviting you in for a Holiday Book Fair on the 10th from 10am-1pm, featuring twenty one-authors(!) like Jake Silverstein, Ruth Pennebaker, Oscar Casares, Don Graham and more, who you can gab with while you buy their new book and have it inscribed to "Mee-maw" while you munch on a scone. Parking will be provided for free at the St. Martin’s Evangelical Lutheran Church’s lot (15th and Rio Grande), and proceeds of the festival go to the Bastrop Public Library.
