Essex Hemphill, the editor of Brother to Brother, and Alison Bechdel, creator of Dykes to Watch Out For, are the special guests at a reception and auction for the Gerber/Hart Gay and Lesbian Library and Archives tonight at 1800 N. Clybourn. The library recently moved to new digs at 3352 N. Paulina, where it’s home to more than 4,000 titles and lots more periodicals, videos, and other reference materials. (It claims to be one of the largest gay libraries in the country.) An Evening With Alison and Essex costs $50, which gets you mingle privileges and an opportunity to bid on a signed photograph of Jack Kerouac by Allen Ginsberg, among other items. A limited number of $200 tix are also available; these include dinner with either Hemphill or Bechdel before the 7 PM reception. Call 281-0885 or 883-3003 for details.
