I got this in my e-mail box this morning. I can't go this time (see below regarding soccer tournament), but I encourage you to go if you want to support this not-for-profit organization. Here's the info...
The Haymarket Pub & Brewery is an ideal venue for the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame's 4th Annual Silent Auction Fundraiser.
Haymarket is known for its beer. Its food. Its location. Its general congeniality. All that could be said about a lot of places. But Haymarket is also known for its Drinking & Writing Theater, which nobody else can say.
Haymarket has a guy on staff with the title of literary director. That tells you a lot right there. Steve Mosqueda is the guy, and of course he has other duties besides running the theater performances and other special events. Literary director, though, is what he cares about most.
Steve and fellow Neo-Futurist member Sean Benjamin are the main forces behind the project, and their efforts to bring theater and comedy into the brewery, along with Pete’s brewing acumen and Christopher’s culinary prowess, have distinguished Haymarket as a Chicago treasure. Steve and Sean’s wild, alcohol-enhanced imaginations produce a steady stream of interesting beer-related theatre, like the time they pub-crawled 24 miles along Western Avenue.
This is the second straight year Haymarket Pub & Brewery has agreed to host our fundraiser, and we’re grateful for their hospitality. Haymarket has a large contingent of dedicated, bright employees who seem to love their jobs and revere their workplace. To partner with them is to see all these dedicated workers come together like a family, and we’re proud to be a part of that on this occasion.
We'll have Haymarket's back room for the occasion. Think of it as a party at which you chat with friends, meet new ones, ask special guest Dave Eigenberg if Chris Noth is really that big, sample one then another delicious beer, and in between all that scratch out a bid on that Chicago Federals jersey that might fit your Uncle Max if it's too big for you.
