The program is now posted online at Symphony Space: and it looks like Stephen will read MUCH LATER in the evening. His name is far down the lists of readings…I’m guessing after 9 or 10 pm, maybe.

To read the program, follow the Symphony Space link to the streaming window, then the “read” link to the program.

Thank you for this information MsI. I am looking forward to tonight’s broadcast.

I really appreciate the fact that Symphony Space is providing the streaming online audio.

Lol. We’ve already stocked up on coffee, soda, energy drinks and other caffeinated beverages (and caffeinated gum that we found), we’ve worked out a sleep schedule and everything. A bunch of college kids- we’re young and energetic, hopefully it’ll turn out fine.

I tend to throw things when I get stressed out… and yell and cry, but in the end, I work well under those conditions (as unhealthy as it is), so I think we’ll be alright!

Thanks for the advice!

Hey, my friends and I did that in Philadelphia in April. It’s… lots of fun. Yeah. Fun. That’s it. ;)

Seriously, though, good luck! And remember not to panic!

Oh no! I don’t think I’ll be able to listen! :(

A group of friends and I have entered a 48- hour film festival. Starting tomorrow at noon, we’ve got 48 hours to write, film and edit a short film into existence.

Infinite love to anyone who can possibly get a recording, at least of Stephen’s parts. (Not that I don’t love you fellow NFZ-ers anyway.)

I hope someone will be around to help me if I get confused about what to listen to…I’ll have to get to my computer at like 6:30 to make sure I’m all ready.

I love Frank McCourt! I saw him speak last year after reading Teacher Man and I was as excited as I’ve ever been for a speech. He is an eloquent and admirable man. Add in Stephen Colbert and it will be the best Bloomsday in 104 years (not to mention the first one I am aware of…sheepishly said.)
