She Likes to Kiss AND Tell: So Catch AND Hear it Yourself on April Fool's at Rec Room's 5th Anniversary Show
By David Shuey, March 31, 2009
She's here. She's got no fear. And she's ready to deliver some spoken word goods – and sordid details of "her" "love" "life" – for the Chicago scene. Introducing: Paula Varjack. Come if you dare. Her media-saturated myspace page will tell you right away if she's your kind of Berlin (by way of) London (by way of) Washington, DC, subterranean culture astronaut. Yes, she's that far outta sight.
This week, our former poetry editor, Mike Haeflinger, has kindly sent his fellow expat dwelling in Berlin to us (U.S.!). More specifically, to rest in our spare room in-between good times in Chitown. We couldn't be happier. Paula's performing 3 times in 2 days, so check her out. (Trust us, she's really nice. Offer a smoke and say "Hey.")
Tuesday, March 31: At YCA at 7 p.m. (for the kidz!)
Wednesday, April 1: (... and for the rest of the adultz!) at 7 p.m. she hits Chopin Theater for the Encyclopedia Show, but really she wants you at gig #2 at Black Rock Bar after 8 p.m. curated by the Rec Room Inner Circle celebrating their 5th anniversary. The featured performers are some of the best-and-brightest of Chicago's spoken word scene.
Location: Black Rock Bar, 3614 N. Damen, Chicago
Offering: Besides flirty stories, she'll be selling CDs and DIY poetry books. The sass is free.
