Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids

This Wednesday, May 28, at the Gladstone Hotel, Pasha Malla will launch his collection of short stories called The Withdrawl Method. As part of the launch, Pasha plans to read some of his early creative works in an attempt to chart the life of a writer. Pasha has also invited a few GRTTWaK regulars to also Read Things They Wrote as Kids onstage.

Should be a good time. Check out the invitation below, or see the TINARS event listing for more information.

Note: Unlike other GRTTWaK stuff, this is not an open-mic event.

I’m terribly excited to announce that Grownups Read Things They Wrote as Kids is expanding beyond Toronto.

The lovely and talented Sarah Feldberg has arranged for a live reading event in Ottawa:

When: Monday, June 2, 2008 from 8:00 – 9:30

Where: Velvet Room, 62 York Street (in the market, above Fat Tuesdays)

Cost: Free

Arrive early to get a spot on the reading list

Hurrah! There’s a Facebook Event for this, too.
Check out more live shows on the Live Shows page.
