Lit Crawl is an event dedicated to good literature, community and responsible
intoxication. The evening begins with author readings and afterwards moves out to occupy neighborhood bars in an orderly/disorderly fashion. Lit Crawls have existed in one form or another since civilization began and are seeing a resurgence throughout the literate world. LitQuake is putting on great crawls in San Francisco and New York.
See you there!
*Read Off: A group of authors/poets/mad-people reading exhilarating, 8-minute compositions to an audience of rowdy judges evaluating the work’s originality, spirit and lyrical transcendence.
