Please join us in (OUR NEW LOCATION:) the backyard garden at Unnameable Books in Prospect Heights for an evening of writers reading their writing out loud in front of a listening group of people (*who may or may not be "writers") and then hanging out for a while after doing important things like goofing, star-gazing, and going across the street to party a little at Soda Bar.

Kindly bring your own soft and hard beverages.
