Spring as sprung, fucked off, and sprung again, like a meterorological jack-in-the-box we'd like very much to punch. What fun! Keep your layer game sharp, and soothe your weather weary soul with Write Club Chicago.

We're back, and we've got Corrbette Pasko in the host seat, with Josh Zagoren in the Time Timer chair. So there's two seats taken. Better grab the rest. Why? Feast your eyes, chumball.

Your lineup, coming in like a liger and out like a mastodon eating woe and strife for a snack:

Stephanie Douglass (LION) v Binkey Tolefree (LAMB)
Elizabeth Gomez (MIX) v Eduardo Curley Carrillo (MATCH)
Nestor Gomez (KICK) v RC Riley (PUNCH)

The world is a lot, but the words are more. Literature as bloodsport has never been such a balm in this chaotic timeline. GMan Tavern crackles to life on March 19th at 7:30pm.

Air scrubbed by Clean Air Club Chicago. Sponsored by Maplewood Brewery and Distillery. Attended and loved by you.
Let's get ready to Write Club.

Who needs a Valentine when you have meds and tacos exist? Besides, every one of you is Write Club’s Valentine, and no silly President’s Day celebration of drunken men who owned people is gonna change that. Welcome to WRITE CLUB: Anti-Depressident’s Day.

Warm your heart and your brains at the GMan Tavern on Tuesday, February 20th at 7:30PM CST. Bask in the glow of combatants, Katie Rich, Mike Atcherson, Jess Hutchinson, Josh Zagoren, Abbas Jaffary, and Bilal Dardai. Fill your senses with clean air from Clean Air Club and delicious brews from Maplewood Brewing and Distillery. In other words, kick President’s Day in the wooden teeth and get all the discounted candy after V Day. We got the good stuff.

The start of the Holiday Season™ is breathing cold pine and holly down our necks while we're contemplating the colonialist holiday that makes a meal out of oppression. Good thing Write Club Chicago is here to beat the stuffing out of us all. WRITE CLUB: Tryptophan Light Fantastic has a lineup more powerful than Turkey Sweats™ and will gird your heart and head for those family conversations across a table on fire by handing you gasoline and a hug. Fuck a pilgrim, let's have words.

Your lineup:

MAIN (Carly Lauren) v SIDE (Veronica Arreola)

EAT (Jeffrey Gardner) v DRINK (Carmenita Peoples)

FACT (Jennifer Peepas) v FICTION (Lily Be)

Charmingly hosted by Jill Hopkins-Olewnik and vigilantly timekept by Josh Zagoren. Gather round at Gman Tavern on November 21st. 7:30pm. Sponsored by Maplewood Brewery & Distillery. Clean air provided by Clean Air Club. $20 suggested donation. Because artists should get paid, and you should enjoy it.

The casket creaks open. The dust gathered from two whole months of silence flies into the air as a warning to those in its airspace: it is returning. The half rotted corpse of Write Club Chicago rises to a seated position, mumbles something about sciatica, and stands fully formed inside its coffin. We emerge, whole and victorious, ready to lead combatants into literary battle.

Hey, happy fall, huh? Who wants some apple crisp lattes?

Write Club is back at GMan Tavern on a special date for its season opener, and you don’t want to be the one person who misses it while the rest of us drink in the cinnamon goodness of wit and visceral truth. What an absolute pumpkin spiced letdown that would be. Here’s your lineup:

SUMMON (Sydney Charles) v DISMISS (Binkey Tolefree)

SPIKE (C. Russell Price) v SPICE (Ricky Harris)

TRICK (Amy Eaton) v TREAT (Nik Gallicchio)

Hosted by Corrbette Pasko, timekept by Josh Zagoren, sponsored by Maplewood Brewery.

Welcome to the Equinox, where the Earth hits "reset" and the rest of us meat sacks try to figure out what time it is. We see hope for Spring in every filthy, slushie-esque puddle; the chance for rebirth as hundreds of dog poop piles are laid bare, unobfuscated by snow. Truly, there are miracles every day.

The biggest one being the return of Write Club Chicago. You're welcome.

As the lamb begins to make its entrance/exit for the month, we gather for the warmth of blistering words at GMan Tavern. We put our hands to the screaming intonations of Corrbette Pasko, feeling life in our fingers. Josh Zagoren keeps the time so perfectly, daylight no longer needs saving. We are rowdy. We are at peace.

Your Smarch lineup will cleanse you for this Equinox, by fire and ice and the literary talent of the gods of renewal. Also, there's booze.

RAIN (Tara Sullivan) vs SHINE (Hannah Gamble)

HUNT (Keith Ecker) vs GATHER (Jacoby Cochran)

BLOOM (Amy Eaton) vs WILT (Nestor Gomez)
