<div class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt; TEXT-ALIGN: left"><span><font size="4">Please consider joining OddyFest this <strong>Friday (10/16) at 7:15 p.m. at the Brody-Nelson Meeting Room of the Cleveland Heights Library (2345 Lee Road)</strong> for the second and final showing of October's free show, "OCTOBER REVOLUTIONS," featuring "Trotsky" by Matt Greenfield and "Gandhi & Hitler" by Michael Oatman, with some Russian songs (in Russian) thrown in there for the heck of it. Not to dust off my own shoulder here, but Oddy-ences on Oct. 2nd were truly floored by the historical drama and intensity of these shows. The program is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC and variegated OddyMerch will be available before/after the show, should you care to patronize our big box o' OddyStuff. Hope to see you there! Read on for details:</font></span></div>
