Weekend Peanuts events

First, let me quickly note that AAUGH Blog reader Naomi tells me that where she is in Northern California, and possibly elsewhere, the Saturday showings of Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown and A Charlie Brown Valentine will be pushed back from Saturday to Sunday, due to NBA play.

Folks in Cincinnati may want to stop by the main library on Saturday at 2 to hear William Bell talk about Franklin as part of the Black History Month efforts. Or in Santa Rosa, California, stop by the Schulz Museum at 1 to talk to Lincoln Pierce, creator of Big Nate. If you want to attend both events, you’ll have to not only travel very fast, but remember that due to time zones, the Cincinnati event actually takes place first.
