Hi friends, as you no doubt are not aware, Untoward’s own intern-in-training, Mason Johnson, is hosting his first ever Piss Fanatics Reading Series entitled “Sup Bro?” at Moe’s Tavern on Milwaukee (2937 N. Milwaukee, to be precise). Check out its Facebook page. We’re proud of how young Mason has grown and want to encourage this nascent effort by enjoining — nay, beseeching — you who are in the great city of Chicago this weekend to attend. ATTEND! ATTEND, I SAY!

Anyway, more specifically it’s happening Saturday, March 19th (that’s this weekend!). So be there or be square. Word has it that forthcoming Untoward contributor Dan Shapiro will be reading as well, which is something we here at Untoward wholeheartedly endorse. Well done, Mason, bravo.

Not only will Mason Johnson and Dan Shapiro be there, up to their tricks both new and old, but so too will various names you love such as Dave Snyder, Jill Summers, Kevin Kern, Chris Bower and Tim Racine. Don’t you love those names? Even if you don’t, you should go and discover the people behind the names, because what have names ever taught you about anyone? It’s like that old truism, you can’t judge a person by his or her name.

So ATTEND! ATTEND! With an ostensible theme like bros and what’s sup with them, how could you possibly live to regret ATTENDing*?

*A bros theme rarely inspires rue. That’s a scientific fact.
