reality bitez presents: back porch secrets, sept. 14
Jakob and I organized this reading at Kitchen Sink [1107 Berwyn Ave., Chicago, Illinois 60640].
Reality Bitez Presents back porch secrets.
“It’s almost the end of this beautiful Chicago summer, but before it’s over let’s have one more night on the back porch. Bring some beers because here we all are. Some of us you know, some you don’t. Eventually the laughter, the heat begs us to take off our shoes & long sleeved shirts.
Here we are & our lips get looser & we start to tell secrets to each other.
Now we are intimate strangers, best friends, dates & lovers.”
– Jakob VanLammeren
