The Laids have culled from the audio archives, from the unpublished and unperformed works of our contributors, from the tupperware containers deep within ourselves to bring you stories and parts of stories that almost went untold. As we are about to graduate, and everyone seems to be looking forward, we at the village are more concerned with the things that get left behind.

In this episode, we hear from the waitressing frontlines, the neighborhoods of New Haven, the pool waters of Long Island, and the notebooks of playwrights.

Originally debuted at our first listening party on May 21, 2009.
