August
Please join us from 7-9 p.m. on Wednesday, August 5--Marcus Sakey (author of the bestselling novels/soon to be major motion pictures "The Blade Itself," "At the City's Edge" and "Good People") performs a sneak-peek reading from his new suspense thriller novel, "The Amateurs," which debuts the following day. Additional readers include local writer Tim Weaver.
Each performer reads original works as well as short segments related to the night's theme with a trivia contest. As of July 1, RUI switches to a new format of two rounds with four readers and a 9 p.m. end time. Stick around for cocktails and conversation after the event.
As always, we're in the back room at Sheffield's, 3258 N. Sheffield Ave. There's a $3 cover. Grab a seat, a cocktail and a bite to eat at 7 p.m. Readings begin at 7:30 p.m.
Also, check out our What Is RUI? page for a video clip from RUI: Risk, back in August of 2007.
