<b>ABOUT THE ORDINARY EVENING SERIES <br>
</b><br>
Started in spring 2005, the
<a href="http://ordinaryevening.blogspot.com/">Ordinary Evening Reading
Series</a> features both emerging and established writers in a monthly
reading at the Anchor Bar Mermaid Room, downstairs. Borrowing its name
from the poem "An Ordinary Evening in New Haven" by Wallace
Stevens, the series aims to bring writers and audiences together in a
no-fuss, informal environment to enjoy a little storytelling on a
work-night. Readings are always on a Tuesday at 7pm, free of charge, both
drinkers and teetotalers welcome. <br><br>
