This reading. The first literary reading for my longtime Chicago friend Jason's arts/literature center, and, oh, MY FIRST READING IN YEARS. Four or five years? I'm not sure. I haven't performed live since sometime before I reestablished (am I allowed to say "rebranded"?) myself as "Katherine of Chicago" in 2007 (I actually worry people won't know it's me with the name on the flyer!). I've missed it very much. I've thought of organizing my own events--about Chicago, about public transit, about urban exploration/abandoned buildings, about hockey--who knows. But reading at someone else's event is a good start. Especially since he picked a theme of urban decay/renewal!
May 28 in Hyde Park. More announcements to follow. I'll be writing a new piece...about the best story that's happened in my KofC days that I haven't yet told (well, it's a story I've told partially on Flickr). I'll have to look somewhat decent. I'll have to bring booze.
City of Destiny: adventures in and observations from the built environment, mostly Chicago/Midwest/Rust Belt.

Hey, congrats! It's looking like I might be out of town then, but if not, I'll try to make it. (It's a block away from where I live.)
Sadly, I'm committed to attending a fundraising gala that night. But super congratulations, and I think you'll enjoy the Op Shop - it's a cool space.
