Performance Poet Melissa Rose and Mood Area 52 in a Rent Party for Tsunami Books!  Melissa http://www.melissarosepoetry.com/ has traveled the world performing. Recently she and family have relocated to the Eugene area, where she has become an active member of the Eugene Poetry Slam Community. Melissa will perform a staged reading of her show, "Baggage"--- the true story of her adventures (and misadventures) as a touring poet in the USA and Germany. Mood Area 52, of Eugene (for those few of you who may not know) is simply the best blend of roots rock, instrumental tango, jazz, blues, Balkan, ranchera, American folk, country, Brechtian cabaret, and classical music in the world. Many of the band members are school teachers, so will have a whole week of rest-up and remove before offering what promises to be one of the most entertaining shows of Tsunami’s short 22 year history. Doors at 7:30, Melissa starts at 8, Mood Area 52 at 9:15.  (tix $5-20 sliding scale Now On Sale.  Drop by the store or call 541-345-8986 to reserve)
