	8:05pm Pauly from Clifton: Shirley Jones is wonderful.
	👻 8:06pm Austin Rich: One of my favorite jobs was working for the Portland State University Library, when I was a student. Re-shelving books and helping with the computer lab between classes was pretty alright way to make a little scratch in college.
	👻 8:06pm WR: Hi Krys and Sheena streamers. We go to the library nearly every week
	8:07pm Krys O.: I'm overjoyed at all this librarian love!
	8:09pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:06 Cool! My best friend worked at the children's library in our hometown when we were in high school. The librarian was the one who gave me my first card. Phyllis Kuntsler was William F.'s sister-in-law.

	8:14pm HyperDose: ↳ Song: "I Like Big Books" by "Dowell Middle School" No way hahaha
	8:15pm Krys O.: ↳ bbell @8:13 Hello, dearest Barbara!!! I recall you posting that about your daughter. Congratulations again!
	8:16pm Barno in Akron: I wasn't expecting nerdcore rap tonight - groovy!
	👻 8:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I Like Big Books" by "Dowell Middle School" Wow. I had no idea.
	👻 8:17pm Austin Rich: Any Bloodhag in the line-up? Their movie is filmed inside of a library, where they peform for fans. All of their songs are biographies or Sci-Fi authors.
	👻 8:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @8:17 ...biographies OF Sci-Fi authors.
	8:17pm bbell: ↳ Krys O. @8:15 Thanks, Krys!
	8:18pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:17 Ooh, sounds interesting. Wish I'd known about them and had extra time. Will check 'em out.
	👻 8:18pm Mr Fab: hey Krys, great theme, i appreciate it.
	👻 8:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:18 It's heavy metal, but they dress like their fave authors. The lead singer does an amazing Issac Asimov.
	8:19pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:18 Oof!
	👻 8:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Song: "I Like Big Books" by "Dowell Middle School" either times have changed, or these kids are quite brave to record something like this and not worry about getting their butts collectively kicked.
	👻 8:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:19 They throw paperbacks at the audiences at their shows. I can say I was hit by an Ursula K. LeGuin novel at one of their shows.
	8:21pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:20 That sounds up my alley. I adore LeGuin.
	8:22pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @8:17 My favorite skit performed in a library is Adult Hide and Seek from Portlandia. Pretty funny.
	👻 8:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:21 In the Rare Book Room, where I work, we have some signed LeGuin that is VERY valuable, and I don't touch without gloves on.
	8:22pm Krys O.: ↳ Barno in Akron @8:22 I forgot about that one!
	8:23pm Krys O.: BTW-I'm a fan of Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress: www.loc.gov...
	8:24pm Krys O.: Enoch Pratt Free Library was key in fighting censorship during Dubya.
	👻 8:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "All About the Books" by "Mount Desert Island High... Hell yeah.
	8:26pm HyperDose: ↳ Barno in Akron @8:22 That's a good one! Are you familiar with Improv Everywhere? www.youtube.com...
	👻 8:27pm Austin Rich: Usually the kids who were big readers had also read all the books with dirty bits in them too, and could help clue us into the "good" selections to pick out at the library.
	8:28pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:27 I gravitated to Poe, the Hitchcock anthologies, Agatha Christie and such when I was a kid making my way to the library every Saturday.
	8:28pm Ben in Fargo: I'm much enjoying this! I'm a librarian myself, at a college library.
	8:29pm Krys O.: ↳ Ben in Fargo @8:28 Huzzah, Ben!!! Thanks so much.

	8:31pm Barno in Akron: ↳ HyperDose @8:26 Improv Everywhere - Best gig ever!

	👻 8:35pm Austin Rich: I did a Halloween show this year, set in a library, with me reading ghost stories. www.wfmu.org...
	8:35pm Ben in Fargo: Feel free to ask me anything you were wondering about libraries!
	👻 8:35pm WR: ↳ Song: "Library Card" by "Frank Zappa and Ensemble Modern" This isn't on my Rykodisc 1993 version of Yellow Shark. So the Zappa Trust did a extended release? Guess I can go look it up.
	8:36pm Krys O.: ↳ WR @8:35 Right, WR. It was on Everything is Healing Nicely in 1999.
	8:37pm HyperDose: Are you excited for the new John Wick movie, Krys?
	👻 8:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Ben in Fargo @8:35 Was there really a symmetrical book stacking incident at the Philadelphia mass turbulence of 1947? I've heard a lot about it...
	8:37pm Mr. X: I grew up on the first couple of seasons of The Electric Company. I was so happy when I solved the Fanny Dooley puzzle without any hints.
	8:38pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr. X @8:37 YAY!
	👻 8:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @8:37 Tom Lehrer is an important part of every child's education.
	8:38pm Derek Westerholm: I played a show once in a library. One of my favourite gigs ever. A library I visited often in my teenage years. It was just so special to me. I love that the Toronto Public Library will have live shows now and then. Even noisy ones!
	8:39pm Annette: ↳ Song: "L-Y" by "Tom Lehrer" My son and I loved this song. We always watched the Electric Company together
	👻 8:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:38 Wow! That sounds cool. Apparently, I need to go to Toronto.
	8:40pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Austin Rich @8:39 If you do, let us know!
	8:40pm Barno in Akron: They're looking for Big Books and they cannot lie
	8:40pm Ben in Fargo: ↳ Austin Rich @8:37 I don't know offhand, but I can research into it.
	8:40pm Krys O.: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:38 That's awesome! I used to go to the library in high school during my free periods. I read Scientific American and the like. I also did some tutoring there. I was tutoring other students since I was in 2nd grade.
	8:40pm Krys O.: ↳ Annette @8:39 Hello, Annette! Thank you!
	👻 8:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ Ben in Fargo @8:40 All the guys in the Ghostbusters movie seemed to know all about it, when they visited The New York Public Library.
	8:42pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Krys O. @8:40 I honestly love libraries! So much!
	8:42pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:41 LOL!
	👻 8:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Lisa Librarian" by "Velocity Girl" Woah! Blast from THEE PAST!
	👻 8:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @8:43 Wow. I forgot how noisy the production was on this. It's really, REALLY unpolished... in a way that I sort of miss.
	👻 8:45pm Austin Rich: Damn! Comet Gain too? This is verging on an EPIC show, Krys O.
	8:46pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:44 I know!
	8:46pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:45 Thank you kindly.
	👻 8:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:46 Time to review some of my fave early 90's noise-pop. There needs to be a Nuggets style boxed set of best singles from THAT scene.
	8:47pm Krys O.: I used to check out vinyl records from our public library when I was in high school.
	8:48pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @8:47 The Kill Rock Stars variants are a good start....
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: At our bookstore, YA and Manga sell better than just about everything else. Sci-Fi is probably third.
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:47 Me too! But I was dating the librarian's daughter... so we were at the library a lot.
	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @8:48 They are a good start! I have at least one of them... and other that I copied from a friend.
	8:49pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:49 Cute!
	👻 8:50pm WR: ↳ Song: "Library Card" by "Frank Zappa and Ensemble Modern" From the liner notes written by the recording engineer about the session: "01 Library Card Frank assigned several musicians to improvise spoken interaction. The Pianist, Hermann Kretzschmar, whipped out his library card to use as a text. The distinctive timbre of his voice, the German accent, and the humorous pace of his delivery obviously struck Frank as a vehicle to be developed and utilized. "
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: There was an episode of "Flight of the Conchords" where they got a gig at a library, but everyone kept shushing them.
	8:51pm Derek Westerholm: I love this song!
	8:52pm Krys O.: ↳ Mr Fab @8:50 HA! I have fond memories of that bit.
	8:52pm bbell: My hometown library was in a historic Dutch colonial with nooks and crannies, but for an adventure my sister and I would visit the modern libraries in Bergenfield and Englewood. And I remember borrowing framed art at the Teaneck library. I bought a cave painting poster when they deaccessioned some of the collection (part of the picture files).
	8:52pm Krys O.: ↳ Derek Westerholm @8:51 Camera Obscura have exquisite pop sensibilities.
	8:53pm Derek Westerholm: ↳ Krys O. @8:52 Agreed!
	8:53pm Krys O.: ↳ bbell @8:52 WOW!
	8:54pm Krys O.: Thank you to all of you wonderful folks for being here and sharing such joy. It means the world to me.
	8:56pm Annette: ↳ Song: "Library Card" by "Frank Zappa and Ensemble Modern" Thank you Krys!
	👻 8:57pm Austin Rich: Thanks again Krys! Great show!
	8:57pm HyperDose: Wild last set to shower to. Thanks, Krys! ❤️
	👻 8:57pm Mr Fab: I salute Krys for saluting librarians.
	8:58pm Krys O.: Mille grazie!!!
	8:58pm Aitch: ↳ Song: "Karen" by "The Go-Betweens" Don't want to be called a Karen these days
	8:58pm Krys O.: ↳ Aitch @8:58 Aye.
	8:59pm Krys O.: Here's the link for Mid-Valley Mutations: wfmu.org...
	9:00pm Kat in Chicago: Well done, Krys!
	9:00pm Krys O.: Thanks!!
	👻 9:05pm WR: Thank you!

	8:38pm Derek Westerholm: I played a show once in a library. One of my favourite gigs ever. A library I visited often in my teenage years. It was just so special to me. I love that the Toronto Public Library will have live shows now and then. Even noisy ones!
	8:39pm Annette: ↳ Song: "L-Y" by "Tom Lehrer" My son and I loved this song. We always watched the Electric Company together

	👻 8:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @8:43 Wow. I forgot how noisy the production was on this. It's really, REALLY unpolished... in a way that I sort of miss.
	👻 8:45pm Austin Rich: Damn! Comet Gain too? This is verging on an EPIC show, Krys O.
	8:46pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:44 I know!

	8:48pm Mr. X: ↳ Austin Rich @8:47 The Kill Rock Stars variants are a good start....
	👻 8:48pm Austin Rich: At our bookstore, YA and Manga sell better than just about everything else. Sci-Fi is probably third.

	👻 8:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr. X @8:48 They are a good start! I have at least one of them... and other that I copied from a friend.
	8:49pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:49 Cute!
	👻 8:50pm WR: ↳ Song: "Library Card" by "Frank Zappa and Ensemble Modern" From the liner notes written by the recording engineer about the session: "01 Library Card Frank assigned several musicians to improvise spoken interaction. The Pianist, Hermann Kretzschmar, whipped out his library card to use as a text. The distinctive timbre of his voice, the German accent, and the humorous pace of his delivery obviously struck Frank as a vehicle to be developed and utilized. "
	👻 8:50pm Mr Fab: There was an episode of "Flight of the Conchords" where they got a gig at a library, but everyone kept shushing them.
	8:51pm Derek Westerholm: I love this song!

	8:52pm bbell: My hometown library was in a historic Dutch colonial with nooks and crannies, but for an adventure my sister and I would visit the modern libraries in Bergenfield and Englewood.
