For all the black cats, who find themselves crossing the road once again.
The YES! House invites all readers, writers, and bibliophages to join us for the second edition of BAD LUCK BOOK CLUB.
A night celebrating the consumption, creation, and performance of all things literature.
Starting at 5:45 PM you'll find live readings from four Minnesota Authors, too hot tea, [totally normal] books who need a new home, jinxed writing prompts, and cursed corners to enjoy your new read.
Featured Authors: Suree Sompamitwong, Regina Flanagan, Jessie Hennen, and Nicole Rowe.
As the sun sets, we will kick off Open Mic Night at 7 PM — so bring a poem, reading, or an ill-fated prose to share with the club.
See you across the road, and under the ladder — on Friday the 13th.

However, since they’re Minnesotans, they’ll never admit to it..." https://www.jessiehennen.com/
