New Videos Posted: The Porch (Complete Reading)

I have posted on YouTube the complete readings of myself and J. Bruce Fuller from 4 February 2011 at The Porch. The reading was sponsored by The Lake Charles Art's Council and The Porch. This reading was a part of the First Friday Reading Series.

5K Run and Fundraiser: Free to Breathe - Lung Cancer Awareness

Lake Charles, LA - March 26, 2011

MFA All-star

Helping those affected by lung cancer is a high priority and we need your support to make a difference. Lung cancer is the #1 cancer killer of American men and women; it kills more people than breast, prostate, colon, liver, kidney and melanoma cancers COMBINED. The Free to Breathe® event that we are participating in will raise awareness of the disease and funding for vital research. Please support our efforts by making a donation through our team fundraising page; it is simple, fast and totally secure. And, we also encourage you to join us on event day! Many thanks for your support! If you know of someone else who would like to donate or participate, please forward them this link!

Please follow this link, and click on William Coppage, or my wife, Missy Coppage, to donate.

As soon as he have a name (Update: Townes), we will let everyone know. Jolene and him got along pretty well today. We let them meet and we will pick him up tomorrow.
