      Here's another come-hither from mid-Iowa. You know, you'd probably have luck booking a gig at Beaverdale Books in Des Moines. That's www.beaverdalebooks.com, & the woman in charge is Alice Meyer, & let her know I rec'd you. Lettie & I could easily put up 4 of you at our house, a block & a half away. Garden tomatos & basil, too.
