sitting down.Held every six weeks amid the soft maroon sofas and silk tapestries of the Foundation Room at the House of Blues, the brothel features 10 Chicago poets reading original works. They call themselves poetry "whores" and perform under aliases such as August Rose, Pearl Du Mal and Durham Pure. Two are male.
The brothel features burlesque dancers, fortune tellers, Victorian piano player Jeffrey Levin and Lula Houp-Garou, a fairy dancer who performs with a Hula-Hoop. A DJ plays digitized recordings of wax cylinder music circa 1860-1930.
