Listen online at 11:30 am on KALX. After years of doing lots of mainstream media on Quirkyalone Day, it’s a pleasure to do an interview with a cool student-run station!

The DJ Erin is doing an awesome set list in advance. It will make for many excellent quirkyalone mix tapes. I think you’ll be able to listen to the archives too!

Happy International Quirkyalone Day! Here’s a brief round up of some of the activities that are taking place to commemorate our holiday . . .

The Women’s Center at the University of Nebraska–Lincoln is hosting a card-making booth for International Quirkyalone Day. Individuals who visit the booth will be encouraged to visit the quirkyalone website and read the book to learn more about QA philosophy and way of life. Organizers in Maui have set up parties throughout the week on different parts of the island until Saturday. On IQD, look for them at the Fresh Mint Restaurant in Paia from 6 to 8 pm. They say “we will have at each event as is convenient Alone-time table, Make-your-own-quirkyalone-card-table, classic party games, International Quirkyalone Day cards, and a few fantasy imagination games to play too!”
