Cheap Beer and Prose BOOKS / READING
Cheap Beer and Prose

Two problems with most book readings: (1) You never know if the author is going to be a good reader of her own work, which can lead to an hour of skull-fucking boredom. (2) There's never enough cheap booze. The Hugo House's new reading series tidily eliminates both problems: Curator Brian McGuigan doesn't invite readers unless they're wildly entertaining—tonight's crew, Cienna Madrid, Ryan Boudinot, Mary Purdy, and David Schmader, are all hilarious—and Rainier beer is a buck a can all night long. (Hugo House, 1634 11th Ave, 322-7030. 7 pm, free.) by It's Paul Constant's Birthday, Everybody!!!

Why is it "of her own work?" I don't think trying to be non-sexist works when you use "her" instead of "his" in a negative context. "His or her" would've been just fine here.
