Brandon Zwagerman and Mittenfest in the Metro Times

While flipping through the Metro Times this evening, I ran across a familiar face, that of Madisonfest mastermind and Just Haircuts and Jackets' most appreciated commenter, Brandon Zwagerman. Brandon and his latest projecct Mittenfest got a lovely little Loftus-penned write-up, touching on the origins of the events (Brandon's desire to put on a show while home for the holidays) and its philanthropic goals (raising scratch for nonprofit tutoring and writing center 826michigan).

And that reminds me … everyone who's reading this should go to Mittenfest (you can still go see Child Bite later in the evening, and catch the daytime Mittenfest acts)!
