Event Spotlight: Reading Under the Influence

Whichever way the election goes, everyone is sure to still be talking about it the next day. On Wednesday, Reading Under the Influence will provide some literary diversion on the topic of "Red States, Blue States." Published and well-known pieces on the theme will be read, with trivia questions posed to the audience and prizes given for correct answers, and original pieces keeping with the theme will also be presented. This month's special guests will be Bill Hillman of the Windy City Story Slam and Ben Tanzer, author of Most Likely You Go Your Way and I'll Go Mine. RUI regulars will be Jesse Jordan and Amada Snyder, along with guests Cynthia Vargas and Simon Smith. $3 at the door at Sheffiel's, 3258 N. Sheffield Ave. 7-10pm.
