Litquake and Thursday Night Combo readings Sunday, October 07, 2007
It's my favorite holiday of the year: Litquake. Hundreds of readings, spoken word and conversations in bookstores, nightclubs, cafes, auditoriums and laundromats. I'm just back from drifting in and out of 10 hours of readings at the SF Public Library for the "Off the Richter Scale" kickoff weekend event, showcasing more than 75 writers, including my friends Julia Scheeres, Rachel Howard and more.
Litquake closes with the best part of my favorite holiday, Litcrawl, a pub crawl-style evening of dozens of events up and down the Valencia Street corridor. I'll be reading at Ritual Roasters at the Grotto event, themed "Rejection." It runs from 8-9 pm.
I'm also reading this Thursday at the Exit Theatre's Thursday Night Combo, along with (I'm told) a musician, a magician, a comedian and other storytellers. A true variety show. Food and beer and I believe a $5.00 cover charge. It's on Eddy Street a block from Market, near the Powell Street BART station. 8:30 pm.

Grotto Nights Returns Sunday, February 04, 2007
Grotto Nights returns, this time at Mezzanine on Jessie Street. It's this Monday night, and it's free! Details below, lifted from sfgate.com's ePicks:
Grotto Nights: Driving Obsession (Mon 2/5)
Drive Yourself Mad
You may remember Grotto Nights as it began to outgrow its space at the S.F. Main Library in 2005. Or it may be a totally new concept to you. Either way, come check the literary/performance event out at its new roomier location at Mezzanine in SoMa as the free event, run by The Grotto -- a writing workspace founded in 1994 by authors Po Bronson, Ethan Canin and Ethan Watters -- returns in all its eclectic glory to bring us the finest in community-building entertainment. The first gathering at its new locale is a pointed look at America's fixation on autos and automobility and how it has shaped life as we know it. The evening consists of a variety of performances based on the driving theme, each presented by locally grown talents in the fields of literature, film and art. Highlights include a documentary made by a taxi driver in Baghdad, a lecture by Dr. Graham Fleming from Lawrence Berkeley Lab on fuels made from synthetic biology, a scene by Dan Hoyle from his one-man, funny-yet-challenging play "Tings Dey Happen," hard-hitting car-crash photos by Matt Jalbert, a reading about the unexpected perils of cheap gasoline by author Lisa Margonelli and a NASCAR-themed poem by the Bukowski-loving Bucky Sinister. It's first-come, first-served, and a large crowd is anticipated, so get there early. -- Lisa Zaffarese, SF Gate
Mezzanine, 444 Jessie St. (at Mint), SF; Mon 7 pm (doors open at 6:30); free; www.sfgrotto.org/events.html.

Reading at the Rickshaw Stop Sunday, November 26, 2006
I've been invited to participate in Inside Story Time, a monthly event (named Best New Reading Series by the SF Weekly) held at the Rickshaw Stop. Since the reading occurs on the Winter Solstice this month (December 21), I'm supposed to read something "appropriate for the shortest day of the year." Hmm.
The Rickshaw Stop is at 155 Fell at Van Ness, and is the only bar in town with actual rickshaws inside. The reading is from 7-9 p.m.
