Profile

Many amateur readings force you to plaster on a smile while you shift uncomfortably in your chair. The one at this eccentric dive, however, invites a sometimes packed crowd to cringe in sympathy at material normally c0nfined to boxes in the parents' basement: Bad break-up poems, diary excerpts about first kisses and junior high-school dances, letters to Aaron Spelling outlining 90210 plot ideas, and countless other crimes against the humanities.
