PHOTOS FROM MY READING AT VOLUMES BOOKCAFE ON 10 JUN 18

BAD GRAMMAR THEATER: JOY MOTEL

Not much to report of late, I'm heading up north in a bit and if I decide to read at Volumes, it will be to continue with Joy Motel.

BAD GRAMAR THEATER: 01 SEP 17

While on my way to Brendan Detzner's Bad Grammar Theater, I got off the bus at 20th & Damen and took photos of the old Damen police station as it was ready to be torn down.

BAD GRAMMAR THEATER, 04 AUG 17

A MURDER OF CROWS ON SANGAMON STREET

Years ago, Brendan Detzner started up a stellar reading series, Bad Grammar Theater, which originated in his strange and mystifying apartment at 17th & Halsted. (The current venue is at VOLUMES, on North Milwaukee Avenue, near Damen.) You know me, hunting around for old railroad tracks and abandoned warehouses. I took the first photo to have Brendan post as directions to his bachelor pad.

Well, as it turns out, just a few feet behind where I was taking said photo, and you can match it up with the last photo, five teenagers were shot at about 3PM Sunday afternoon. One of the kids died. As always, I'll say that I give a shit about the gang members. As long as there are no innocent bystanders hurt, its a win.

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.
