11/7. Today sounds lucky. But luck is more than sound, it's a combination of effort and faith, with a dash of hope thrown in. And a pinch of desire. It's a real kick when it kicks in. The luck.

Here in Karmadale, how lucky can we be? Today, the Devil's Kitchen Literary Festival kicks off with readings at the Student Center this afternoon and tonight, AND G. Love with Special Sauce kicks out the jam at Shryock Auditorium, brought to you by the Student Programming Council.

If your thing is sports that don't kick, but you dig the jam and the slam, the Saluki Men's basketball team is facing a team from Mexico in an exhibition game tonight at the Arena as well.

You may be lucky enough to attend one of these events-- Or just kick back and relax at home. Watch television or read or listen to G.Love & Special Sauce CD. while cooking up your own special sauce, something with a kick.
