Cobra Book Swap

2008_05_bookswap.jpgThe Chicago Reader's at it again with it's strangely placed but well intentioned Book Swap. The swqap will be held tomorrow at Cobra Lounge, you can bring all your winter books to trade in for some summer reads. The Janes, who tout themselves as "Chicago's Premiere 60's Go Go Troupe," will perform. The first 300 participants get free tote bags.

While Cobra isn't exactly our ideal location for a book swap, we can't argue with their Wednesday specials of $3 Guinness, Newcastle, and Jameson. Also, bring your old reading glasses to donate to Volunteer Optometric Services for Humanity.

Tomorrow, May 28, Cobra Lounge, 235 N Ashland, 6 p.m. - 9 p.m., 21+, Free
