odd sundays – April 29

After thirteen odd sunday afternoons, we have reached the fourteenth, the last, of this season. What a year it has been. We have met many new guests, a throng of new open mic readers, and an audience which deserves all our praise and thanks. For this final afternoon, we welcome Triny Finlay and Amber McMillan as special readers. Plan to come along to Corked Wine Bar, 83 Regent St. at 2 PM on April 29, to see your friends, old and new, to greet Charlotte, have a drink, get a book draw ticket, and take your place at the open mic. Come and continue your support of our special guests and your writing friends.
