Readings at Volumes Bookcafe This Friday 07/07/17

I may not be coming to these readings, as it is a fairly long trip by public transportation, last month I left the house at 4PM and got home at 1AM. Wicker Park to South Stickney Township, guys. It's a nice enough place and I hope Bad Grammar Theater does well there. I'm posting a shot from last month and the last two photos I took at Forte.

BAD GRAMMAR THEATER: 20 JAN 17

Brendan Detzner posted a bunch of photos on my Facebook page, but Angelica Julia Davila was the only one to OK posting her photo. A few others who read were Mike Penkas, Harold Holt, and Reina Hardy.  The readings are the third Friday of every month at Forte Gallery, 2200 West North Avenue, near the fantastical Jay's Beef. Oh, and I gave out a bunch of Chick Tracts.

BAD GRAMMAR THEATER: FEBRUARY 2016

I thought I would post a bit about the new place BGT is happening, and that would be courtesy of Jude Mire at Forte Framing & Gallery, just off of North Avenue and Western. It just took me a little longer than expected to find time to write up the post.

The many, many seascape paintings are by Jude's wife Jill Cooper. The artwork with the skulls is courtesy Eric Lower. Sculptures in the front window are by Brian Sperry, but the photos I took did not come out well, because there was reflections from the streetlights.

Big crowds, lots of readers, good stories to be heard. If you are in Chicago on Friday 18 March, the readings are from 7-10PM. If you are interested in buying some great art or getting something framed, you can reach Jude or Jill. I'm not writing any phone numbers down because I don't trust the NSA anymore.

BAD GRAMMAR THEATER: 15JAN16

Bad Grammar Theater started up again at it's new home, Forte Framing & Gallery, just off of Western and North Avenue. Started by Brendan Detzner (the guy in the purple shirt) and hosted by Jude Mire (the guy with the beard), it was great to get back into the readings. And the bigger crowds, as well.

I had spent a few weeks putting together the contents for Crossroad Press's upcoming book of mine, RAPID TRANSIT: 30 years of short fiction and I decided to read "I Fights To The Finish", a fairly insane story from John Weagley's REVENGE OF THE RADIOACTIVE MONKEYS that came out around 2005. It was good to get the band back together.
