Readings in the World

I know you're all planning to go to readings and it would be great to share what's on the calendar here. So I'm starting by putting the LitQuake link up
http://litquake.org/
which is a literary festival in SF and has great events

But for more fun, go to LitCrawl
http://litcrawl.org/sf/2012-lit-crawl-schedule/

which is October 13--it's a evening of readings in pubs around the Mission District in SF. Its a great scene seeing the masses, all dressed in black by the way, going from joint to joint to hear readings!

And if you've never been to the mission district, know that there are 224 murals in public spaces. worth it!

Try this one http://litcrawl.org/sf/events/barrio-fiesta/
and hear our own Melissa Sipin (and 2 mills alums)

If you have a litquake/crawl gig. let us know.

In the meantime. Tessa is reading at the next WORKS IN PROGRESS  October 9, 5:30 (right after class ) in the Bender room
