Ahhh, Chicago summer. Everyone is outside and somehow shirtless, the air is a dog's mouth, and a street festival has interrupted your commute. What do we say to visitors about these months? "We've waited all year for this!" You're damn right we have.

Write Club closes out a banger of a 14th season on June 25th, a week later than the usual third Tuesday because it’s the Cubs’ summer and we’re just living in it. But that only gives us more time to build the combustable literary energy that will explode the roof off of GMan Tavern. What’s the formula? Just. Look. At. This. Lineup.

SUN (Lily Be) v SHADE (Bear Bellinger) 

THUNDER (Michael Jones) v LIGHTNING (Christopher Walsh)

CURIOSITY (Himabindu Poroori) v CAT (Jitesh Jiaggi)

Corrbette Pasko is back at the host mic while Josh Zagoren keeps the time to a tight 7 minutes. Blink and you’ll miss it. So don’t blink.

Happening at GMan Tavern at 7:30pm on 6/25. Sponsored by Maplewood Brewing and Distillery. Air scrubbed by Clean Air Club. Attended and loved by you.
