2014 San Francisco Litcrawl




This Saturday is the Litcrawl, the culmination of the 15th annual Litquake event in San Francisco. It begins at 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time and the complete schedule and list of locations can be found here: The Official Litquake Site. Photos of old Litcrawls can be found here: Bcx.org Photos Of Litquake

The event is divided into three phases, where each phase lasts 1 hour, with only 15 minutes between each phase.  From experience, it is difficult to get seats at consecutive phases. Instead you should plan on skipping phase 2 if you want to see multiple phases. Or arrive early for phase 2 and get a seat there.

If you are young and don't mind standing at the back of a crowd, then you can plan on seeing all phases in sequence.

But don't arrive with no idea of what you want to see. There is simply not enough time to sample more than a few presentations in any given hour. That is if you plan to actually listen to a full reading at each.

One thing you should never ever do is to skip this event. Consider it the one mandatory event of your literary listening year. There is almost every form of literature represented, so there is something for everyone. I hope to see you all there.
