Mark your calendars, invite your friends and family, and light up the new year with a night out at the black light opening of this year's DayGlo Show. Everyone will enjoy seeing what over 40 regional artists have done with the fascinating medium of fluorescent paint. It's the most unique gallery exhibit you will visit all year! The show opens during the Waterloo Arts District's monthly Walk All Over Waterloo so there will be plenty to do and see in the other galleries, shops and bars up and down Waterloo. DayGlo Color Corp has generously donated the paint for this exhibit.

As always, those of you who would like to eat before the event should make reservations or arrive early--we'll be setting up shop in the Ohio City Room at Market Garden Brewery. Keep in mind that Amit's books will be for sale at the event courtesy of Mac's Backs. Meanwhile, we continue to offer what we think is the best literary deal in town: buy a book and get a free beer.
