The First Rule About Write Club Is...

Well, I don't know, but I bet a tired movie quote earns a metaphoric sock to the kisser. Write Club takes the concept of a slam competition and makes it more personal, pitting two people head to head. Tonight there will be three bouts: Rock vs. Roll (improvOlympian Katie Rich vs. New Colony's Whit Nelson), Work vs. Play (Write Club host Ian Belknap vs. Neo-Futurist alum Chloe Johnston) and Land vs. Sea (performance poet John Paul Davis vs. Gapers Block's own Lindsay Muscato). Each contestant has seven minutes, winner chosen by the audience. $8 donation; proceeds go to charity of winner's choice. The Hideout, 1354 W. Wabansia, September 21, 7pm.

Sounds like fun -- and I agree, "the first rule of ____ Club" is pretty stale at this point. Well played!
