Upcoming Reading: October 24 (Lit Crawl)
BAIT is taking it to the city. Join us on October 24 for a special Lit Crawl event, featuring Eirinie Carson, Laleh Khadivi, Lexi Pandell, Lisa Teasley, and Samantha Stevens. We’ll tackle the personal haunting of motherhood: bad moms, sad moms, no moms, being a mom, overachieving moms, New Age moms, and other matriarchal specters, with rounds of mother-related trivia and prizes between readings. 5 to 6 pm at the legendary Blondie’s Bar, located at 540 Valencia Street in San Francisco.
