This is my short set from last Friday night’s QUIET LIGHTNING VI. Did I mention it was a gas reading with Stephen Elliot, Sara Fran Wisby, Michelle Tea, Daphne Gottlieb, Jon Longhi, MG Martin, AP Nelson, Jennifer Joseph, Nic Alea, Joshua Mohr, and Beth Lisick.

Paul Reads “The Longest 20 Seconds” and “The Serv-Well.”

I was honored to participate in the first of Evan Karp and Rajshree Chauhan’s “Quiet Lightining, Whispers In The Dark” reading series.

Also participating in the event were the super talented stylings of Eddie Wright, Meghan Thornton, Lauren Becker, Missy Church, Peg Alford Pursell, Tess Patalano, MG Martin, Anna Reed, Eugenia E. Gratto and a knockout story about Disney’s Red Queen from Alia Volz, in addition to the aforementioned hosts Ms. Chauhan and Mr. Karp adding their brilliance to the storytelling.

The inaugural reading took place at the Cantina on 580 Bush Street, one of those old SF hole in the wall watering houses that become much darker and more labyrinthine once you go inside. The next Quiet Lightning reading will take place Monday, January 25th at Elixir in SF’s Mission District.
