"The Sunny Side of Being Bi"

That's the title of a delightful blog by Sara Chittenden, a bi woman who plays bass in the indie band Soundmeetsound. If you want to learn more about bi people (or get a shot in the arm of pride!), check out her inspiring and beautiful Tumblr at http://thesunnysideofbeingbi.tumblr.com

You can find her great review of The Horizontal Poet at

Soundmeetsound's first album is coming out soon.... I can't wait.

*****************************************

I'll be doing at least three San Francisco Bay Area readings in September. Save the dates:

September 5 PM I'm featured at Sacred Grounds Cafe Open Mic in San Francisco, hosted by Dan Brady, who recently read his own work at the SF Public Library.

September 8 PM I'm cofeatured with my friend and mentor Julia Vinograd at an open mic hosted by the lovely Tanka and performance poet Jeanne Lupton at the Frank Bette Center for the Arts in Alameda.

September 22 PM I'm featured with my husband Hew Wolff and several other queer and/or kinky erotica writers at Perverts Put Out, San Francisco's literary smut salon hosted by Carol Queen and Simon Shepard at the Center for Sex and Culture.

[SF] Sacred Grounds September 5, 2012

Please save September 5 for me if you're going to be in the San Francisco Bay Area that evening! I'll be the featured reader at the Sacred Grounds Cafe near the Haight. Bring some poetry of your own to share at the open mic.

Sacred Grounds: Open Mic Wednesdays: 7 pm sign up
2095 Hayes @ Cole, San Francisco.
415-387-3859
Host: Dan Brady: creative1@creativeideasforyou.com

Host Dan Brady is a poet, composer, singer and an elementary school teacher in the San Francisco Unified School District. He took over hosting the Sacred Grounds Cafe Wednesday night reading after its longtime host Jehanah Wedgwood passed away a year and a half ago. Jehanah hosted the open mic for nineteen years and edited fifteen anthologies of its poets' work. Sacred Grounds is the oldest continuously running open mic in the city, started in 1973.

I'll read for half an hour. As I recall, the open mic spots are a generous 5-10 minutes. The cafe serves beer, wine, coffee, and a variety of food (not just pastries and sandwiches). The place is two blocks from Golden Gate Park, just on the other side of the Panhandle from Haight Street. Leave time for a picturesque walk before you come to the reading!
