Writers with Drinks
Saturday, March 14, 7:30-9:30pm
At The Make Out Room, 3225 22nd St. between Mission & Valencia
Cost: $3-5, all proceeds benefit CSC
Featuring: Sara Houghteling, M.K. Chavez, Aaron Raz Link and S.G. Browne
Because this month's Writers With Drinks practically falls on the Ides of March, we're going to be having a Burl Ives look-a-like contest... and the winner gets to stab someone dressed as Julius Caesar. Yes, I know that makes no sense, not least because "Ides" and "Ives" are completely different words. But it's for literature, so our hands are tied. Oh, and apparently if you mention "Sponge cake" at the door, you get the special non-radioactive beer. While supplies last.
About the readers/performers:
Sara Houghteling is the author of Pictures At An Exhibition. She's the recipient of a Fulbright scholarship to Paris, first prize in the Avery and Jule Hopwood Award for novels, and a John Steinbeck Fellowship.
MK Chavez's poetry chapbooks include Virgin Eyes and Visitation, plus she co-authored Next Exit #9 with John Sweet. She cohosts the reading series Acker's Dangerous Daughters. She's had poems in 580 Split, The Rusty Truck, Zygote in My Coffee: Print Edition #6, and the Lummox Anthology.
Aaron Raz Link is the co-author of What Becomes You, a transgender memoir. He's been a clown and a science educator, and his writing has appeared in Brevity and other magazine.
S.G. Browne is the author of Breathers: A Zombie's Lament. He's posted a hilarious zombie self-help site called Undead Anonymous, and a series of zombie haikus on his homepage.
About Writers With Drinks:
Writers With Drinks has won "Best Literary Night" from the SF Bay Guardian readers' poll five years in a row and was named "Best Literary Drinking" by the SF Weekly. The spoken word "variety show" mixes genres to raise money for local worthy causes. The award-winning show includes poetry, stand-up comedy, science fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery, literary fiction, erotica, memoir, zines and blogs in a freewheeling format.
Hostess Charlie Jane Anders blogs about science fiction and futurism at io9. She's the author of the Lambda Award-winning Choir Boy (2005 Soft Skull Press) and the co-editor, with Annalee Newitz, of She's Such A Geek (Seal Press 2007). She also publishes other magazine. She twitters as charliejane, and she's starting a podcast soon.
