My Chronicle/SFGate column is up: Litquake’s Sexquake — This Year’s Down-and-Dirty Lit Crawl is intended to be a one-stop shopping guide to our local LitCrawl, with a focus on all the literate smutsters reading in the 150+ writer, drinking and carousing evening in the Mission this saturday. Read the article about details on all the local sex writers in this year’s lineup (lots!) and for links to all kinds of stuff — in fact, I submitted 38 links with the piece (feeling ballsy, I was) and they included… 38 links. I think they might like me after all. Awwww….
But then again, problem-child writers like me and Mark are the least of their worries right now with their four-part sex trafficking series. Just peep the comments on the Ross Report’s blog to see the wide variety of panties in bunches wedged into the comments.
But back to LitCrawl — I didn’t give it much “ink” but I’m reading on saturday in the ‘crawl. I’ll be at Good Vibrations on Valencia for the 6pm block — and I seldom read in public because it’s weird to have everyone staring at me *in person*, so I’ll probably read somehting filthy and funny in the beginning and then run away to a bar, and then crash the “Emperor Norton Lives” reading at the City Art Gallery hopefully in time for the ecstasy to kick in so I can sexually harass Mark Morford from the crowd and piss off Warren Hinkle by wearing a prettier eye patch than his and make RU Sirius regret buying me lunch yesterday and worry about what I’ll be on when I go on his podcast show this sunday. (Even though the Emperor Norton reading actually won’t have anything to do with our good Emperor, but I found out is instead a catch-all title/category for these really cool writers, that apparently LitQuake couldn’t classify as anything other than ‘only in San Francisco’. Hmmm.) So I will read and run to watch others read, as usual. Reading in front of people always makes me want to hide in a ditch. It’s part of why I don’t do book launches and stuff unless I’m pressured to. But LitCrawl is a very fun night in the Mission, so you should go anyway.
Okay, back to writing. I’m working on a couple of articles for new outlets, one of them pretty big and the other very controversial, so it all should be interesting.
