Tayari's Here!
Hurray!
Straight from the airport, Tayari wanted to head out to Pioneers Park to check out the elk and the bison--to see some real Nebraska-y stuff. (When she saw the large, anatomically correct statue of a bison at the entrance, she said, "Ooh! He's a boyffalo!")
She reads tomorrow evening at the Great Plains Art Gallery. It's at 7:30 p.m., and the desserts, coffee, and decaf (I asked for the decaf, special) are free afterwards for the taking, so you can stand around and nosh and chat and schmooze with the author. Stephanie Udall from the UNL Bookstore will be there, gracious as ever, to sell Tayari's two novels to anyone who's interested. The whole event should take about an hour, total, so if you can tear yourself away from your usual Thursday-night delectations, come on down,

Now that I have a code to comment, I will not give you a moments rest.
My pics of the BOYfalo didn't show his true assets. I'll post soon.
