16 June
Bloomsday
Worldwide
The nearest celebration I could find was one at the Heritage Center in Chicago, and there’s not much in the way of details on the site, at least that I could find in my half-assed scan.
It is entirely possible that a last-minute Chambana Bloomsday cabal will form and announce the takeover of some local beer-havin’ establishment for purposes of Joycean amusement and edification. This old event page has loads of links.
Is it really three years since we last put one on?
COMING UP
The month of July
