The first event was a great success and I’m hoping for more on July 16th at 7:30pm when The Frunchroom will once again be open at O’Rourke’s Office (11064 S. Western) for stories of, and by, people and places on the South Side. 

 It’s still a free event, but donations are welcome and benefit the non-profit Beverly Area Arts Alliance, our production partner. Check out the Alliance website for some exciting upcoming events. 
Here’s who you’ll see at O’Rourke’s Office that night:

Jeff Danna

Writer/Blogger, Main Street Beverly

Shay DeGrandis

Artist: shaydegrandis.com, Mortifier: getmortified.com 

Mikki Kendall

Writer and occasional feminist

Evan F. Moore

Political sportswriter

Scott Smith
Writer, ourmaninchicago.net

I’ll be emceeing as well as reading that night.
