[Newspoetry] Newspoetry Reading in Chicago

[ahcopter at midway.uchicago.edu]

Hi all!
as a chicago resident, i think that sounds great!  the best times for me will 
be anytime in august except for August 2-5 (USAS national conference in 
Chicago), August 16-19 (YDS national conference in Philly), and after the 25th 
(i'll be going away for the end of that month and the beginning of september, 
before school starts).  this event sounds wonderful--i'm excited for it.
