Essay Fiesta @ The Book Cellar
If you've lost track of which Monday this is, it's Essay Fiesta Monday at the Book Cellar in Lincoln Square. Join co-hosts Keith Ecker and Alyson Lyon as they present this month's readers: author of Living Oprah Robyn Okrant; Chicago Fringe Festival Executive Director Vinnie Lacey; Host of Real Talk Live J.W. Basilo; The Nervous Breakdown Contributor Zoe Zolbrod; and storyteller Sheri Reda. As always, the show includes a raffle with all proceeds going to the youth literacy organization 826 Chicago. Show starts at 7pm at the Book Cellar (4736 N. Lincoln), and is free, but get there early - this show goes from plenty of seating to standing room only in a jiffy. For more information visit Essay Fiesta.
Story Week
A full day of readings, discussions and more is scheduled for Columbia College's Story Week today; see the schedule for full listings. Free.
