The festival has finally taken its toll on me. I can’t even get this preview written if I tried. My arms barely work, and I’ve got that weird John McCain thing where I can’t lift my arms above my head. Anyway, I’m going to quickly tell you what today is about.

Today is the traditional day of literature here at the festival. Check out the schedule to see where the various events are and who’s involved in them. This year’s lit crawl is also wrapped up into the first annual Food Crawl. Each round of the lit crawl will feature food from the fine restaurants here in Iowa City.

As for the actual shows, I’m going to defer to the insert.

Don’t forget to follow us @MissionCreekIC on Twitter and use #mcf2012 or #getyourcreekon on your tweets. Also, follow the festival and get daily time tables from our Facebook page.

I understand that this is minimal, so get at me (info below) if you’re on the street and want to do something rad.

I’ve gotta go lay down before tonight starts…
