Gapers Block Book Club Meeting
This month's meeting of the Gapers Block Book Club takes place tonight at The Book Cellar at 4736-8 N. Lincoln Ave., where we will be discussing Dirty Sugar Cookies by Ayun Halliday. The meeting begins at 7:30pm, and new members are always welcome! Hope to see you there. Visit the official book club blog for more information.
David Sedaris @ Auditorium Theatre
David Sedaris (author of GB Book Club selection Naked) comes to the Auditorium Theatre to read from his latest work When You Are Engulfed in Flames. The event is presented by Borders and Ticketmaster is selling the tickets, so they're a bit pricey, but my guess is that they'll be worth it. 8pm at 50 E. Congress Pkwy.
The Moutain Goats @ Park West
Wonderfully weird and satisfying strange, John Darnielle's The Mountain Goats perform with Kaki King at Park West tonight. 322 W. Armitage. Tickets are $18.50. Doors at 6pm, show starts at 7:30pm. All ages.
Office @ Schubas
Folktronic quintet Office plays a free show alongside fellow Chicagoans Big Science, Thin Hymns and Gold tonight at Schubas, 3159 N. Southport. Show starts at 9pm. 21+
