There will be specials on food, wine tastes as well as $5 glasses of Vinejoy wine and discounted bottles available. (3258 N. Sheffield, 8 p.m. - 2 a.m. Dec. 14.)

Holiday Sale

Here's a reminder that the Hideout's Holiday sale runs from 6-9 p.m. tonight. It'll be a great ipportunity to buy some local crafts, including the Soup and Bread Cookbook. And we ask you read Chuck's interview with Soup and Bread's Martha Bayne, if you haven't already. (1354 W. Wabansia)

Discussion

The Poetry Foundation presents a presentation by Poetry magazine senior editor Don Share in connection with the foundation’s Beautiful Outsiders exhibition, which focuses on independent presses Black Sparrow, Burning Deck, and Fulcrum.
