Gem Sweater Museum coming to Burlington!

I'm plugging this here because I just didn't do it justice in the paper. Leslie Hall — rapper, Iowa native, and Gem Sweaterologist — is coming HERE to unveil her Mobile Gem Sweater Museum. She's driving into town today, I think, and will be parking her RV in front of JDK at 47Sanctuary (47 Maple St.) for the weekend.

Leslie and the Lys are performing on Friday night, in the parking lot beside Great Harvest Bread Co. and Fresh Market, on Pine Street. Everybody gem up.
