Event Spotlight: Writers & Cartoonists for Obama
First, just a quick note that tickets are still available for tonight's David Sedaris reading at the Auditorium Theatre. It's a bit pricey, but probably worth it.
On Wednesday, an interesting and diverse group of writers and cartoonists will gather together to hold a fundraiser for Barack Obama's Presidential campaign and watch the last debate with John McCain. S.L. Wisenberg will host and featured authors include Sara Paretsky, Libby Hellman, Jonathan Messinger, Haki Madhubuti and many more. There will be a silent auction of signed books during the 5:30pm-6:30pm reception, after which authors will read from their works and a number of political cartoons will be auctioned off. At 8pm, everyone will watch the debate. Tickets are $50 if you purchase them now and $60 if you purchase them at the door; people under 25 may pay their ages with all proceeds of ticket sales going to Obama for America. The fundraiser will take place at the Chopin Theatre, 1543 W. Division St. Email oct15obama[at]gmail[dot]com for more information.
