Super Tuesday, Fat Tuesday, Utter Tuesday

The Utter Reading Series is back tonight, with more pathos than Hillary, more transcendence than Barack, more grit than McCain, and more exposure (for local writers) than a bead-strewn balcony on Bourbon Street. As always, the reading is free and open to the public, and the audience is invited to join the readers afterwards for drinks and conversation at Opal Divine's on 6th.

This month's readers:
