Must-See Monday

The weekend may be over, but the literary fun has only begun! Check out these must-sees:

Twilight Tales goes gay for pride month Monday, June 15th at 7:30pm. The reading series has temporarily relocated to the Bourgeois Pig (738 W. Fullerton)

The Book Cellar hosts local author night on Wednesday, June 17th at 7:00pm. Billy Lombardo, author of HOW TO HOLD A WOMAN, is a very talented writer and definitely worth hearing.

If you're in the burbs, Jamie Freveletti will be signing copies of RUNNING FROM THE DEVIL at the Warren Newport Public Library in Gurnee Saturday, June 20th 2:00-3:30pm.

Check out the monthly literary and variety showcase, Sappho's Salon, at Women and Children First on Saturday, June 20th at 7:30pm. Tonight is their anniversary performance and the $10 includes food and wine.

I just learned that one of my favorite restaurants, Uncommon Ground, has a bi-monthly open mike called Story Club, so stop by the Wrigleyville Location on Sunday, June 21. The show features 8-10 minute readings, oral storytelling, improv and stand-up comedy. Sign up begins at 8:00pm, show starts at 8:30pm.
