Write Club @ Hideout

The Hideout hosts the monthly gathering of Write Club, the only sporting event fought with words, not fists or swords or sword-fists. Two local writers go head-to-head, each taking up a contrary position of an important topic (PAPER vs. PLASTIC, ANALOG vs. DIGITAL, FIGHT vs. FLIGHT, etc.) and one is crowned winner by a jury of peers/audience members. Write Club starts at 7:00pm, and admission is $10 at the door. Proceeds go to the charities picked by the participants. Hideout: 1354 W. Wabansia. (773) 227-4433.
