THE READING AT CHRYSTIE STREET EATS CROW



BLAME IT ON SUMMER TORPOR.

It happened. We finally made a mistake. I know you thought it couldn't happen--believe me, we're surprised, too. But it's true: WE WERE WRONG.

Come out to Home Sweet Home, at 131 Chrystie Street, on Wednesday night to hear the marvelous JODIANN STEVENSON and the lovely GABRIELLA TORRES read. You'll have to wait for Christie Ann. We promise you'll be glad you did.

JodiAnn Stevenson & Gabriella Torres show us the error of our ways.
Wednesday, July 29. 7 PM sharp. Seriously, 7 PM sharp.
Home Sweet Home
