Event Spotlight: MAKE Magazine Issue #5 Release
MAKE Magazine is all about telling stories. Filled with fiction, poetry, essays and art, MAKE's goal is to "expand on the Chicago tradition to entertain and to inform." The magazine publishes quarterly and can be found at Quimby's, Women and Children First, the Seminary Co-op Bookstore, the Book Cellar, Reckless Records, Laurie's Planet of Sound and at many of the literary festivals that occur throughout the year. Past issues have included interviews with notable locals Aleksandar Hemon, Alex Kotlowitz and Adam Langer, as well as numerous pieces by emerging local writers. On Saturday, MAKE celebrates the release of their fifth issue, "City in Biography" at the Hideout with readings from contributors, musical performances and a Hideout Dance Party with DJ Matt Fields.
