The still-evolving reading series, which began in the winter of 2006, is founded on the grimace-and-grin theory that, though we have all been through some foolish times in the past, we're ok with that now. At least, ok enough to share it with an audience of complete strangers laughing at our expense. Readers Molly Each (of No Touching magazine), Megan Stielstra (of 2nd Story), Zach Dodson (of Featherproof Books), Larissa Zageris (of "Fang!"), and Oops founder Jaime Calder will perform their hand-penned tales of humility, spending their first Saturday in April reflecting on how they've been "Unlucky in Love". Musician Angie Ma, whose previous performances have included Kermit the Frog covers and crowd sing-a-longs to "Jesse's Girl", will open. $5
