At 3 pm today, Grania Davis will be at Borderlands Books on Valencia with Speculative Japan, an anthology of Japanese sci-fi and fantasy stories in English translation. Read a review from an English-language Japanese newspaper.

Attend Other Magazine’s release party for issue 13, the “Dead Magazines” issue, looking at the zine explosion of the late 80s and early 90s, with interviews by Suzanne Kleid with the creators of Kitchen Sink, Flatter, Frighten the Horses, Comet, Clamor, and Processed World. The party is at CounterPULSE Gallery, 1310 Mission St. at 9th St. tonight from 7 PM to 11 PM, and the price of admission gets you a copy of issue 13 — or you could look at it the other way around too. (Other Magazine is, of course, the driving force behind the wildly popular Writers With Drinks monthly literary event, which will next happen on the second Saturday of December.)

There’s another magazine party tonight, a mile farther down Mission: the Impaled / 100 Suns / WAR Magazinelaunch party. It’s at 9 pm at the Knockout; click the link for time and address.

But if you feel more like exercising than schmoozing, there’s a night bike ride through Golden Gate Park. It’s bound to be foggy, so wear reflective everything.
