I'll be reading at the upcoming Grotto Nights at the San Francisco Jewish Community Center, along with Mary Roach, Stephen Elliott, David Duncan and others. It's part of Litquake, which is a fabulous week of readings that is always a great time. It culminates with the famous Litcrawl up and down the Valencia Street corridor on Oct. 11. More on that below. But first, Grotto Nights:
Saturday, October 4, 8 pm
A Night of "Intimacy" With the San Francisco Writer’s Grotto
The Jewish Community Center of San Francisco, 3200 California Street
$22 General Admission/$20 JCCSF Members
Followed by reception 9:30-10:30 pm
Tickets available online here. Grotto Nights is back with "Intimacy" -- a multimedia extravaganza of tight genes, body fluids, and misplaced affections. The evening will feature authors Mary Roach, David Ewing Duncan, Elizabeth Bernstein, Stephen Elliott, Laura Fraser, and Jennifer Traig, filmmakers Caveh Zahedi and Jay Rosenblatt, music by Marc Capelle, plus an audio documentary by Jennifer Durban and art by JD Beltran, Emily Korson, and Jan Blythe. Come and get under the covers with us for an evening of literary and artistic hanky panky. Tickets available at the door or in advance at the JCC website.
And on the 11th, I'll be reading as part of Smith Magazine's Six Word Memoir event (but I'll only be reading six words.) Here's the info on that:
Clarion Alley, 8:30-9:30 p.m.
Between 17th & 18th Streets, Mission & Valencia Streets (FREE)
The Stories Behind the Stories from the Book That Launched a Six-Word Sensation, Not Quite What I Was Planning: Six-Word Memoirs by Writers Famous & Obscure
Bring your own memoir for a Six-Word Memoir Slam. Kate Evans, Rachel Fershleiser, Piper Kerman, Emilie Raguso, Deborah Schneider, Larry Smith, Charles Warren, and Six-Word Readings from Elizabeth Bernstein, Lisa Brown, Molly Ditmore, Daniel Handler, Candace Locklear, Joe Loya, Vincent Lauria, Josh Mchugh, Susie Smith, Ayelet Waldman, and Penelope Whitney

 First photos from the Release Party
Thanks to all who came out for the Big Ugly Review Issue #7 Release Party at the Deluxe. The readers were great and the crowd was warm and responsive. Dublit.com came and recorded it, so we'll soon be uploading audio files of many of our stories. Howard Junker, editor of ZYZZYVA magazine, took some photos at the event and has posted them to his blog; you can see them here. I'll add more photos, too, in a day or so.
Check out the new issue here.
