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.

Performers are:
Tim Racine, Dave Snyder, Matt Test,  Mason Johnson, Tony Mendoza, Natalie Edwards, Fred Sasaki, Daniel Shapiro, Margaret Chapman and Chris Bower.
