We are a [[Incorporation|tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization]] as of July 2009, retroactive to October 2008.

'''October 19, 2013, 7:15-8:15pm '''

The [http://litcrawl.org/sf/ San Francisco Lit Crawl] consists of dozens of literary events that occur on the same night in the Mission district. It's like a pub crawl, but instead, has hundreds of people who are part of LitQuake going from reading to reading.

An event will occur at Noisebridge during phase 2 of the Crawl, which is between 7.15 and 8.15 pm on October 19.

If you would be interested in participating in this event, please add this information here. Contact James Warner at james@jameswarner.net if you have questions/suggestions/complaints relating to this event -- many thanks!
