On June 12th, Brooklyn Reading Works presents the annual reading of the 808 Union Writers group at the Old Stone House on Thursday, June 12th at 8 p.m. There is a suggested donation of $5 to support Brooklyn Reading Works. There will also be wine and light refreshments.

The group met at The Dance Studio at 808 Union Street at one time—so that’s why we called ourselves 808 Union). But now that’s Kidsville so we don’t meet there anymore. Jokingly we call ourselves Writers and Drinkers because we usually go out afterward for drinks. Actually, Hepcat coined that prases.

Now we meet in The Montauk Club so we are renaming the group Montauk Basement not that that matters.

But We Are an awesome group that’s been in existence for more than ten years. It’s usually a great reading, a diverse ride, a fun night.
