Reminder: Lit Crawl on Saturday!

Dear writers,

We hope to see many of you at Noisebridge this Saturday for our reading at Lit Crawl. This year, this pub crawl of literary readings will feature 60 events in one night all across San Francisco’s Mission neighborhood, and we’re honored to be a part of it. For more on Lit Crawl, check out this article on Mission Local. Here’s more info on our event:

When: Saturday, October 26, 6:30 – 7:30 pm

Where: Noisebridge, 272 Capp Street, San Francisco

What: A reading and a participatory literary game!

Writers bios:

Ken Grosserode is an attorney and writer in San Francisco. He lives with his partner in what was once a nunnery. His influences include Iris Murdoch, Donna Tarrt, and the ghosts of various Catholic nuns.

Karen Gu is a software engineer and writer based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Her work explores power, identity and feminism through science fiction, fantasy, and friends.

Jiyoung Han is a writer from Seoul, South Korea. She daylights as a sustainability researcher looking to make carbon reduction easier for everyone. Her writing often uses fantastical elements to examine the impacts of colonialism on people’s day-to-day lives.

Kurt is a fiction writer, focused on strange tales of idiocy and culture, inspired by Northern California.

Judy Viertel has been published in Gargoyle Magazine, Gold Dust Magazine, Identity Theory, and Short Story America: Anthology Five. She’s one of four moderators for that venerable but ornery West Coast institution, the San Francisco Writers Workshop. If you were wondering if she can dance the shim sham, the answer is yes. She certainly can.

Reading Saturday, April 6 (in 15 hrs!)

At 2pm on Saturday, April 6 (TOMORROW!), SF Writers Workshop folks are reading at Noisebridge. We’ve got five snappy little stories: 

  • Housnar the Jupiterean and his confounding fermion gamble
  • A man turning into his father–yeah, but maybe for REAL
  • The perils of resorting to AI story composition
  • A  fraught attempt at creating a savior in a Mission District hackerspace
  • A fire-haunted Chinese-American funeral

Bonus: a thematically relevant, mad lib-style group activity! 

Ostensibly part of the Mission Arts Performance Project, this will be a casual, free event. Come hang out with Judy Viertel, Joel Streicker, Jason Tan, David Ira Cleary, and Robin Hansen. Maybe we’ll grab a beverage afterwards…
