Solo In The Second City @ Cobra Lounge
Local writers (among them our own Jasmine Davila) read essays about being single (and being single in Chicago) tonight at Cobra Lounge, 235 N Ashland.
I Love Bloomingdale @ Revolution Brewery
Help raise funds for the Friends of the Bloomingdale Trail and the Trust for Public Land at this open bar and appetizer bonanza at Revolution Brewery, 2323 North Milwaukee. They'll have supplies for making Valentines, as well as a photo booth (oooohh!). Event runs 7-9pm; tickets $5 for kids, $20 student, $30 everyone else.
Erotica Exotica Poetica @ Weeds
Wanna spice up your Monday? Check out the annual Erotica Exotica Poetica open mic at Weeds (1555 N. Dayton) tonight, starting at 10pm. Gregorio Gomez hosts as poets bring their "most sexiest, seductive, sensual, and orgasmic poetry" to read to (and turn on) the audience. Admission and parking are free, but it's 21+ only! (IDs will be checked.)
