From the Tunisia of the Midwest, Madison, Wisconsin’s own Anna Vogelzang returns to the Mill for another edition of Tuesday Night Social Club. For the uninitiated, TNSC is a (pretty much) weekly free show at the Mill.

Iowa City Weekender: February 10-12
Next week starts with the tragic/lovely holiday that is Valentine’s Day. While this is nice, I don’t really care too much. More important to me is the fact that a computer is about to play some Jeopardy!. I’m personally thrilled about this. I can’t wait to see what happens.
