You can order the The Columbus Dispatch by PayPaling Tatyana Kagamas $5.00 ($3.00 for cassette plus S/H) at kagamas@gmail.com. There are more images of the tape after the jump.

Austin & Ryan Eilbeck, Columbus Poet Laureate, turn 27. Here's Ryan reading at the OSU Urban Arts Space as part of the Paging Columbus reading series. And here is a synopsis of a stand-up routine Austin once gave at The Screamer House:

Austin approaches the performance area. In the performance area is a cup of water resting on a stool. Austin tells a "joke" then goes to drink water out of the cup. But the cup has been attached to the stool, so Austin has to pick up the whole thing to take his drink. The end.
