David Sedaris makes a return trip to Chicago after visiting earlier in the year to support his excellent new collection, When You Are Engulfed In Flames. Tickets are a bit high for this appearance, but if you can afford it, it'll be worth it. We've seen Sedaris several times and seeing him in person is a pleasure on a different level from his books.

Music
The Mountain Goats visit town for a show tonight at Park West. At times incredibly bleak and at times unbelievably catchy, John Darnielle and his crew spin fantastic music out of life experience. Kaki King opens.

Misc
Bingo never gets old, especially when prizes are involved. Just sayin'...
