TONIGHT: I Love You, I Hate You dramatic readings

Tonight at 6 p.m. at L'Etage, Azuka Theatre is putting on its ever-awesome annual Valentine's-time dramatic reading of I Love You, I Hate You submissions:

Pulling from the City Paper's iconic I Love You, I Hate You column and read aloud by some of the city's funniest performers, you won't want to miss this hilarious evening of brotherly love and melodramatic hate! Who knows, you might recognize something written by a friend, neighbor or maybe you!

Due to the event's popularity, Azuka's doing it twice this year — once tonight, and again on Tuesday the 18th. You can buy a Lover ticket or a Hater ticket; both are $20 in advance and $25 at the door. So far, the split is about three lovers for every hater, according to Azuka, which we find surprising given that ILUIHU is more known for things like "Bitch Neighbor" and "Fuckin' Friends" than the warm fuzzies. Go even the odds with a Hater ticket, or go submit one of your own.
