I mentioned this a ways back, but it's coming up soon so here it is again. I'm appearing at the opening night of "Litquake" which is a highfalutin San Francisco literary festival type thing. The title isthe Festival of Lights"Between the Bridges" (for some reason) and the theme of the program is: musicians reading from literature that has inspired them. Participants include Dan Nakamura, Penelope Houston, Ray Manzarek of the Doors (seriously),Jay Farrar, Samantha Stollenwerck, Mark Eitzel, my buddy Chuck Prophet, and others, including me. I'm going to sing my posthumous collaboration with Dorothy Parker ("Somebody's Song"), read from KD, and play a KD song - at least I think that's what they're expecting. Dave Eggers is going to be there, too, but I don't know what he's going to do. The host is Ben Fong-Torres.If you're interested (and rich) you can order the $25 tickets here.

Moe's Books in Berkeley. Details soon.Posted by Dr. Frank at September 30, 2006 12:19 AM | TrackBack
I'm hecka gonna go to the one at Moe's, since I live down the street. Not so sure about the ones that involve going to san francisco... but the 5 min walk to moe's I know I can make. Now I just have to remember.
I was sad when you were at Pegasus like 3 days before I moved to Berkeley, so I had to miss it.
I'm originally from Bend. You'll either love it, or be really freaked out by it.
