For Whom the Pen Tolls

By Jess D'Amico in Arts & Entertainment on Feb 6, 2008 3:10PM

2008_02_forwhomphoto.jpgSome say that all great works of art are inspired by something or someone: the ever elusive muse. For many, the muse is a real person, be it someone to impress or just someone to one up. Many times these people are the stories behind the story, which is why "For Whom" is the theme for tonight's reconstruction room reading.

So saddle up to the bar and listen to stories by "lovers, fighters, funhousers and footballers, hand-holders, eye-gougers, the reckless, the buoyant, the dubiously intentioned, and several men and women who'd rather not say."

Tonight. February 6. 8 p.m. Black Rock Bar. 3614 N. Damen Ave. Free.
