QOM on Friday - featuring Jen Cross

Friday March 23, 2007, sign-up 7:30pm, show 8 pm: Queer Open Mic Hosted by Cindy Emch and Sherilyn Connelly.

Feature: Jen Cross

 Jen's writing has appeared in a plethora of anthologies, including, most recently, Nobody Passes, Best Women's Erotica 2007, Naughty Spanking Stories A-Z 2, as well as on CleanSheets.com. She's featured at Sizzle (Femina Potens) and participated in the smutty part of last year's LitQuake LitCrawl, is a co-collaborator in the dyke erotica collective Dirty Ink (which has featured at SFinExile and participated for the last three years at the National Queer Arts Festival), and co-facilitates (with Carol Queen) a monthly Erotic Reading Circle at the Center for Sex and Culture. As a queer incest survivor, Jen writes to release, transform, and create space for as much unspoken erotic as possible.

Queer Open Mic happens on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of every month at Three Dollar Bill Cafe on the first floor of the San Francisco's LGBT Community Center at 1800 Market @ Octavia in SF

Open Mic sign up begins at 7:30, readings start at 8pm.
