SHOW SCHEDULE -----------------------------------------

For those of you who actually mark your calendars in a futile attempt to understand what "every other week means" on Planet VKR, here are some dates you can pencil in for future shows (all are Thursdays from 6pm-8pm).

Marc Breslav's "Radio Eclectica" and Peter Clark's "Orphanage of Rock and Roll" alternate weeks... well, kind of.

10/30 Clark

11/6 Clark
11/13 Clark (um, yeah, that's three weeks in a row)
11/20 Marc
11/27 We're both off on Thanksgiving

12/4 Marc

12/18 Marc
12/25 We're both off on Christmas

1/1 Clark
1/8 Marc
1/15 Marc

That's every other week, right? :-) Be sure to use a pencil (or cheap erasable lipstick on your bathroom mirror). Dates are, as always, subject to change.

Thanks for listening, or attempting to listen.
