Built in 1898, the building was originally a Baptist Church. It still looks like a particularly attractive specimen of one of those, and it&#8217;s still used as a church on Sundays by the local Mennonites. But the rest of the time it hosts concerts, art exhibits, classes, open mics, and the local Tuesday Ladies Mahjong Club. I&#8217;ll be playing there on Saturday February 21 from 7-9. There&#8217;s a ten-dollar cover. <\/p>\n<p>Funny thing, though: Whoever put together the official Florence Cultural Center flyer for this event somehow decided, instead of using the brief description I&#8217;d sent upon request, to edit the word &#8220;seasonal&#8221; out of a flyer for a Christmas show I did a couple of years ago, yielding &#8220;An Evening of Warm Cheer&#8221; as the subtitle for my performance. I tried to gently correct this, but it became clear that if I wanted them to change I&#8217;d have to get insistent, and I didn&#8217;t want the person who&#8217;d poured her attention into the creation of the flyer to feel put out. So instead I&#8217;ve decided to embrace the warm cheer. I&#8217;m going to be so freaking warm and cheerful at this show that you won&#8217;t even know what happened to ol&#8217; grumpy, taciturn, morose Boor. Warm cheer will flood the hvac registers in that place. If you decide not to go, but you get a &#8220;warm cheer alert&#8221; on your phone, you&#8217;ll know why. It&#8217;s me, Warm Cheer Boor. <\/p>\n<p>See you there. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bell Tower Cultural center is on the corner of my block in lovely downtown Florence, Colorado.
