Interesting Gorge
Saturday, May 4th 2013
In the gym at the Mosier Community School
Two identical shows: 2pm & 7pm

(The afternoon show will be run backwards.)
Tickets $5 at the door
(There’s no place to buy ahead of time this year  so you may want to arrive early for the evening show or come REALLY early and attend the afternoon show.)

The idea behind Interesting is simple: an afternoon or evening of 20 different people each talking for 3-minutes about something they love/hate/do/did/know/care about/obsess over.

Warning: Some talks have mature themes including Sex, Death, Religion and Politics (we did Money last time).

This year we’re thrilled to present this amazing line up:
