The reading is part of DCAC’s Fall open house, Saturday Oct. 3. Open house is from 12-4; the reading will start at 1:00.

DCAC, 2438 18th St., N.W., in Adams Morgan.

It’ll be a fun night; Lindsay Bernal & Jennifer Cho will also be reading, and music will be provided by Stripmall Ballads — I got SB’s Since Jimmy Died the last time they played at Big Bear, and it’s great.

That’s this Thursday, 8:00 p.m., at the Big Bear Cafe, 1st & R Sts. N.W. Come by & have a beer and/or a coffee.
