Happy
Summer Solstice, in honor of which your friends here at the Funk are staging an
alien invasion tonight in Chicago! Well, at any rate, a group of fantastic out-of-town writers from around the country will be converging on Hopleaf for a phantasmagorical edition of Tuesday Funk. That's the monthly Chicago reading series where good writing and good beer mix, and where this evening we're celebrating our
35th stellar episode with a very special
Science Fiction Sextuple Feature.Our amazing guests—on loan from the
Wellspring Workshop in Lake Geneva, WI—will include
Brenda Cooper, Sarah K. Castle, Holly McDowell, Gregory A. Wilson, Vincent Jorgensen, and
Kelly Swails. We'll also throw in one of our patented
Poems By Bill for no extra charge. Hey, the show's
free anyway, so it's no skin off our proboscides! We hope you'll avail yourself of a beer or three at the bar—but only if you're not piloting a car or a spaceship home afterward.
So let your geek flag fly, set your phasers on fun, and join us tonight for six terrific journeys to the ends of space and time!
Oh, one more thing, and please pay attention! Show up at Tuesday Funk tonight to learn how
you can attend a very exclusive advance screening of
ATTACK THE BLOCK, the latest movie from the producers of
Shaun of the Dead and
Hot Fuzz, taking place
in Chicago on Thursday, June 23. You won't want to miss this story of a London street gang defending their council estate from alien invaders. So be there at Hopleaf, or
"like" us today on Facebook, and we'll get you the skinny on this acclaimed U.K. flick. See you tonight!
