The monthly Smalldoggies reading is tonight at The Blue Monk. It's free (though you could kick down $5 if you were cool and wanted a chapbook) and features three northwest writers; Rob Gray from Portland with Elizabeth J. Colen and Ofelia Hunt from Seattle. Tonight's show also features musical guest Drew Grow and the Pastor's Wives. If you've never seen them, I highly suggest you take this opportunity.

The event starts at 8:00 p.m. downstairs at The Blue Monk which is at 3341 SE Belmont.
