April National Address is to be a real reading circle! Please bring a book with you, of any genre, length, origin, & content. Choose one you are very familiar with – you are going to want to be able to think of a passage, & flip to it. Don’t choose one you are uncomfortable reading aloud. Everyone will be involved.
National Address is the Gothic Funk Nation’s official reading circle, a safe and friendly place to informally workshop works-in-progress. Consisting of readings and round table discussions, the National Address aims to provide a forum for writers of all Gothicly Funky stripes and a voice for the Gothic Funk Nation. Attendance is open and participants are welcome to bring unsolicited material.
National Address
Thursday, April 22, 7-9pm

Hi all. This is Reinhardt here, co-host of the Tuesday Funk Reading Series. Normally, you’d be looking at this and reading the info for our illustrious reading coming up. However, due to a semi-unfortunate event (a beer brewer’s conference coming to Chicago in early April). our lovely venue cannot host us in April. So, alas, we will take a short hiatus until May 4, when we will come back better than ever!
Until then, have at thee.
Love, Reinhardt (also on behalf of Connor Coyne and Hallie Palladino)

This month, National Address falls during an important event, very relevant to our own cause: Moustache-A-Thon 2010. This fundraiser, now in its 4th year, benefits our friends at 826CHI, a non-profit writing center for kids age 6-18. I am participating, but I will not be able to attend this week’s check-in, so I am bringing the moustache to National Address.
You can bring yours, too! Wear one, bring a photo of your favorite(s), or just come to talk about them. Talk about St. Valentine, black history, rotten weather, or the Olympic Games, too (if you think we are ready for that,) as long as a moustache comes into play.
