Remember back on February 14th when I declared my two goals for 2008?

We’re down to one goal, people.

Join me, a bunch of other WPRB DJs, friends and listeners (hopefully) at Blue Sky Cafe – 22 W. 4th Street in Bethlehem, PA on Saturday, April 12th at 12:00 pm to try Jon Solomon’s Veggie Stir!

If you’re going to come by, let me know in the comments. I am super-excited about this.

Jon
