Weekend Photos: Chicago Poetry Brothel at the House of Blues

Posted Mar 7, 2011 at 02:21 PM

Think Dungeons and Dragons, except way sexier: If performing a poem for a live audience is scary, then doing so as a scantily clad Vaudevillian—essentially, role-playing a character while baring one’s soul—makes it less so. Or so goes the thinking of the Chicago Poetry Brothel, an ongoing series of poetry readings and general carousing, replete with burlesque and musical acts, held in the House of Blues’ Foundation Room. Our photographer was onsite Saturday to catch the latest literary intrigue. Browse our photos below.

About Seen on the Scene

Call it bar hopping by proxy: Each week we send our photographers into the thick of the action to capture the latest openings and the most buzzed-about events; then, on Mondays, we post the photos here, where you can view them without getting elbowed in the side or having a drink spilled down your pants. You’re welcome. And for those who do run into our photographers out and about, be sure to smile for the camera.
