Reading and Interpreting the Works of Edgar Allan Poe | 
The toast to #EdgarAllanPoe at the end of tonight‘s #DramaticReading. Wow, this performance knocks my socks off! The toast follows a decades-long one-man tradition of a mysterious wide-brimmed hatted individual who would lay roses at Poe‘s grave and raise a toast of cognac to the author every year on Poe‘s birthday in the early morning hours, leaving the bottle behind. It stopped in 2010, and there‘s much speculation about why. 😳
