Dollar Store

This Friday, July 1st, seven p.m. at the Hideout, I'm reading for Messinger's Dollar Store reading series. If you haven't been, here's the jist: they buy random objects from the dollar store and give them to Chicago area writers. We have to write a story that incorporates the object. So, my object was a plastic bling-type necklace, big and gaudy, heavy chain, the works, and on the end is a six inch marijuana leaf. Some inspiration, huh? Here's the carrot I'll dangle in front of your nose: the story involves A. speed dating and B. Tone Loc.

It's gonna be great. I know Yum-Yum, the tuxedo'd beatboxer of Beethoven, has something spectacular in store. I'm psyched you're in on it.
