The writers aren’t done reading
Just because we’re done with LitQuake doesn’t mean you’re out of opportunities to hear writers.
On Thursday, Oct. 19 at the Rickshaw Stop, 155 Fell St., it’s Inside Story Time and the theme is Bad Girls, with Cameron Tuttle, (the “Bad Girls Guides” to this and that), Jennifer Solow (whose “The Booster” is about a kleptomaniac), Melodie Bowsher (”My Lost and Found Life”), Kathi Kamen Goldmark, and Wendy Merrill (”Falling Into Manholes,” which sounds really dirty to me). Comic Mary Van Note MCs. It starts at 7:00 pm and admission is $3-10.
But wait! There’s more!
On Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Make Out Room, 3225 22nd St., it’s Writers With Drinks with Lisa Goldstein (”The Alchemist’s Door”), Michelle Orange (McSweeney’s, “The Sicily Papers”), Tim Redmond (exec. ed. of the SF Bay Guardian), Cynthia Heimel (”Get Your Tongue Out Of My Mouth, I’m Kissing You Goodbye”), and Alena Hairston (”The Logan Topographies”). Producer Charlie Anders MCs with hair-curling, somewhat fictional introductions of each reader. It starts at 7:30 pm and admission of $3-5 benefits Other Magazine.
Tuesday, Oct. 24, Dave Eggers appears at Books Inc. on Van Ness — in the former Clean Well Lighted Place space — discussing his new book “What Is The What.” (No question mark there.)
And on Thursday, Nov. 9, I will be appearing at Books Inc. on Market St. near Noe with Daphne Gottlieb and Stephen Elliott to celebrate Elliott’s new book My Girlfriend Comes to the City and Beats Me Up.
