I totally have this urge when Shelley Jackson comes into town to ask to participate in her Skin project, where she's tattooing a story, one word at a time, on willing bodies across America. However, knowing my luck, I'll probably then be walking around the rest of my life with a black "the" in Times New Roman on my ass. The author known for her hypertext fiction is coming into town for the event being thrown by my two favorite local literary journals, ACM (Another Chicago Magazine) and Bridge Magazine (full disclosure: personal friendships abound at both), when the massive AWP (the Association of Writers and Writing Programs Conference) descends on the Palmer House downtown. ACM and Bridge will host a free reading at 4:30pm at the Bridge HQ in the West Loop, writers including Robert Dana, Amina Cain and Antonia Logue. Later on Jessa Crispin, aka Bookslut, the tart-tongued web blogger, will MC readings by Ms. Jackson, and others including Nin Andrews, Aldo Alvarez, Rachel Tucker and Joe Wenderoth. DJ Margaret Noble provides sounds for the after-party.

Both events take place at 119 North Peoria, #3D, (312)421-2227. The first reading takes place at 4:30pm, the second at 8pm, $10 admission includes two free drink tickets, which are $1 thereafter.
