Bookslut Reading Series

Okay, Jessa and Michael, I'll finally give you a shout-out for the next edition of your reading series, featuring Maureen McHugh, Jennifer Stevenson and Charles Blackstone (Tuesday, August 23, 7:30 PM at Hopleaf, 5148 N. Clark St.). Not because I've read any of their work (yet), but because of the funniest promotional come-on I've read in quite some time, courtesy of Michael.

With your help, the Chicago series will continue to rock hardcore, and hey, who knows? Maybe we'll have a Bookslut Reading Series in Austin someday. I mean, besides the current one, which is basically just me sitting in the shed behind my house with a flashlight and a stack of Barely Legals.
