We've got another show for you! Live from the streets of San Francisco, we're giving you a virtual seat at one of the most San Francisco readings we've ever put together. Sandwiched in between the famed watering hole Vesuvio Café and the Bay Area's legendary City Lights Booksellers & Publishers, we held this reading on an October evening to a packed crowd of literature lovers who were very much in their element (drinks in hand). Now you can celebrate the edgy and hilarious work of Vanessa Hua, A.H. Kim, Roberto Lovato, Caitlin Myer, Maggie Tokuda-Hall, and Alia Volz without braving the harsh winds of Kerouac Alley.
