At long last the Waukegan Public Library has found a way to honor Ray Bradbury and his legacy to Waukegan. On Friday, October 20 at 7 p.m. we are hosting an event at the Genesee Theatre called "Something Wicked This Way Comes--the Ray Bradbury Storytelling Festival."
Ray gave us permission to use the name and asked us to host the event near his favorite time of year in Waukegan--Halloween.
Professional storytellers will interpret some of Bradbury's tales, in addition to other stories of the season.
Capture these important moments for posterity. Sneak in a small camera and be the very coward and criminal that you are. If caught, no doubt jail time and long banishment from Green Town. Furthermore, embarrasment by authorities able to inflict cruel and unusual emotional punishment. Long is the list of their venue for dissecting the innards of one imprisoned in their poisoned grip. Flee Flee. But not before snagging the wonderful blossoms of Bradbury prose finding flight in air.

You've been reading Bradbury again, haven't you!?

Thanks for pointing that out, Phil. I guess I thought this was a relocation of the postponed Florida event scheduled earlier, which was somewhat more elaborate.
