The latest for March 3

OK, some of the outliers and suburbanites pulled out when it looked like heavy snow. The snow has not happened, but it’s still crazy cold. And we’ve lost at three folks who were due to be on the bill tonight to illness.

Here’s who I’m expecting tonight:

• Music and words from Steve Bellwood and David Pilot.

• Songs from Kyle Flynn of Kyle Flynn & the Vespers Five.

• Something from writer Seth Osborne.

• More poetry from Sara Russell.

• plus me, Chris Arnott with fairy tales and myths and random writings.

plus…. you! If you feel so inclined. Seems like there’s room for surprises. Bring us a surprise!

8 p.m. TONIGHT, March 3 at Cafe Nine (250 State St., New Haven; 203-789-8281, www.cafenine.com).
