Looking for something to do today that doesn’t involve green beer or bagpipes? Agenda‘s got you covered.
Columbia College’s Chicago Story Week hosts a Q&A today called “Why the Short Story?,” with authors Stuart Dybek, Roxane Gay, Christine Sneed, and Katey Schultz. Dybek sticks around for a reading, conversation, and book signing.
Reader contributor Miles Raymer calls Indian’s music “borderline physically punishing” and “one of the purest sonic distillations of negative energy that I’ve ever been exposed to.” The metal band plays at Subterranean tonight with Bloodiest, Anatomy of Habit, and An Aesthetic Anaesthetic.
Evil Olive puts an Irish spin on its usual Monday night debauchery with Porn and Chicken: Bang Me, I’m Irish. If the weekend’s parades and festivals were too family friendly, this one is on the totally opposite end of the spectrum. Join resident DJs Orville Kline, Phives, and the Sleepers, and guests DJs Rukus vs. Richie Augusta and Martin Stoy.
