Southpaw Jones

Tonight, I’ll perform as part of 20×2 v. 8.0, a unique SXSW event that I participated in last year. The show features twenty writers, musicians, filmmakers, thinkers, programmers, etc. taking two minutes each to answer a single question in their own way. Last year, the question was “What if…?” This year, it’s “What’s the Difference?”

It’s quite a fun deal, a bit of short-attention-span theater as you might imagine. I’ll spend my two minutes musically exploring well-known left-handers versus well-known right-handers. The show starts at 7 pm tonight at The Parish above Jazz, 614 E. 6th St. Here is a list of performers who are not me:

• simon batistoni (flickr)

• jeremy ettinghausen (penguin books)

• lila king (cnn interactive)

• andrew huff (gapers block)

• amy hoy (hyphenated people)

• rusty hodge (somafm)

Great Clocks of Christendom

Many of us do not believe in capital punishment, because thus society takes from a man what society cannot give.
