A wheezing Florida born Boa looked at us and screamed, “No Cheating!” and then he started to sob. As I looked around the room, the more sobbing I saw. They sobbed like humans and you could tell it was their first time. They had no doubt seen their humans do this. Humans love to sob in front of their pets. They are witnesses that can not, unless it’s a really dumb TV show, testify.
I will be taking part in tonights show so come.

The Encyclopedia Show is a live variety extravaganza that commissions local and touring artists and experts from many disciplines to use their individual talents to present a different verbal encyclopedia entry each month. Curated by Illinois based performance artists Robbie Q. Telfer and Shanny Jean Maney, The Encyclopedia Show endeavors to build an age-integrated community cultivating accidental knowledge and irreverent loving kindness. Though the show is accredited by the Institute of Human Knowledge and Hygiene, it is our mission to chafe against logic and proof, find meaning in obfuscation, and wrest truth from fact once and for all.
This is the final original encyclo sho before our summer hiatus. Come through and finally see the greatest reading series that has ever existed!

The next Ray’s reading, called Gripes to Mike Royko, explores a selection of letters mailed to Mike Royko in 1993, as he waged a response to Bob Greene’s letters of American Optomism. He asked his readers to send in their petty complaints and things that cause them to use bad language. His readers responded with bile and vemom and the Ray’s Tap Reading Series is proud to own a small collection of these letters.
December 11th
9 PM
3047 N. Kimball
Performers are:
Tim Racine, Dave Snyder, Matt Test, Mason Johnson, Tony Mendoza, Natalie Edwards, Fred Sasaki, Daniel Shapiro, Margaret Chapman and Chris Bower.
