Quickies! (1935 W. Thomas Street) was a reading series co-founded by friends and School of the Art Institute graduates Lindsay Hunter and Mary Hamilton. Held usually monthly at the Innertown Pub, the reading series was a showcase for very short prose. Each reader had four minutes to read before he or she was whistled off the stage. Regular readers included Jac Jemc, Zach Dodson, Kyle Beachy, Jill Summers, Chris Bower, and James Kennedy.
