Image
This Thursday, November 15th, don't miss Amy Guth's The Fixx Reading Series ! Here's the dish from Ames , pay attention, children. That's your cue to be good listeners. That was my big teacher moment. I've always wanted to have one, I just envisioned it would be with a man... Wait, I'm getting sidetracked - FOCUS, PLEASE. The Fixx Reading for this month has been thoughtfully moved forward as to not get lost in the shuffle. So, that means that you can get your lit fixx this Thursday, November 15th @ 7:30pm with this month's guests : John Sheppard author of Small Town Punk and Renee Rosen author of Every Crooked Pot The Fixx Coffee Bar 3053 N Sheffield Ave. Chicago, IL Please note that due to various winter holidays, there will be no reading in December but a stunningly awesome January event, to be sure. You heard the broad, get your Fixx, peeps. Great authors. Great host. What's bad?! Bupkas that's what. Run like a dawg this Thursday night.

The Writer's Strike

Of course you've heard of the writer's strike , you're not writetarded. Make no mistake this is a no-joke ishy of epic proportions. The writers are in the right. Writers are asking for 4 cents . 4 cents-- that's it. The networks and studios would rather lose millions of dollars every day than pay 4 cents. This makes sense to you?! Oy vey. Check out this fantastic video Why We Fight , first discovered on my favey new site Very Hot Jews . Shows are shutting down . The ripple is in full effect. Producers and below the line peeps are being laid off and fired. Authors scheduled to promote their books on late night can't. So many financial hardships could result from this mishogos. All this ahj is worth not forking over 4 cents?! I have nothing to say and everything to tawk. I found a fabylicious interview with Joe Medeiros head writer for The Tonight Show. Oh, wait, not done yet, and equally juicyviews with writer/producers Judd Apatow, James Brooks and Gary Shandlin
