Event Spotlight: Elizabeth Crane & Funny Ha-Ha
There are not one, but two literary events worth mentioning this week, although they're on the same night so you will be forced to choose between the two.
If you're in the mood for a single-author sort of thing, stop by the Silver Cloud Bar & Grill where Elizabeth Crane will discuss When the Messenger is Hot, her debut collection of short stories. (We read her second book, All This Heavenly Glory earlier in the year.) The event is free and will take place at 6:30pm at 1700 N. Damen.
On the other hand, if you're looking for more of a group thing, head on over to the Hideout where a host of local authors will gather for another installment of Funny Ha-Ha. Claire Zulkey hosts the collection of humorous readings and short films and notables such as Wendy McClure, Mark Bazer, Steve Delahoyde and Alpana Singh will provide their talents. Your $5 admission benefits the Neighborhood Writing Alliance, so you get the funny and a good deed all in one deal. 7pm at 1354 W. Wabansia.
