The runoff election was weighing on cohost Andrew Huff ahead of our April show, which happened to fall on election night.
Mayor Preckwinkle
after today's election.
Or Mayor Lightfoot.
Either one will be
Chicago's first black woman
to become mayor.
The question remains:
will she be an improvement
over Rich and Rahm?
Lead in our water.
The City sent a savior:
a filter pitcher.
Tulips break the soil,
their thick green leaves welcoming
the coming of spring.
Levi Todd got the show started with a collection of poems, followed by Elizabeth Tamny, who shared an essay about her love of Doris Day ahead of her 97th birthday. Stuti Sharma closed out the first half with a combination of poems and stand-up comedy.
We took a break to refill our drinks, and cohost Andrew Huff read a few topical haiku for election day. Next, Amar Taylor delivered some explosive poetry. Last but not least, Nestor "The Boss" Gomez shared a story about helping his mother fix a few things around the house -- with associated mischief.
If you missed it, don't worry. Tuesday Funk will be back in the upstairs lounge of Hopleaf on Tuesday, May 7, when we'll feature readings by Jenn Rourke Elizondo, Jocelyn Geboy, Tracy Harford-Porter, Megan Manley and Kathryn Kruse. Hope to see you there!
