Two Cookie Minimum Reading Series Year One

Two Cookie Minimum returns in 2012 with a lineup of readers culled from the laundry list of guests that appeared at the series in 2011. There's a mix of zinesters and writers featuring:
Lara Levitan, Carrie Colpitts (my aim is true zine), Tom Lynch, Georgi Johnson (cursive zine), and Jim Joyce (or let it sink zine).

The event is back at the Hungry Brain 2319 W. Belmont at 9pm. As always, there will be cookies.
