…just don’t say “DON’T TAZE ME BRO!!” In my anecdotal experience, everyone who has been tased to death or mistakenly shot by police who thought they were reaching for their tasers were at some point in the process of their being restrained yelled out: “DON’T TAZE ME BRO!”

So clearly, yelling that didn’t help. However, none of this shit should prevent you from attending this event:

Quiet Lightning 2 @ Gestalt Haus

BART accessible yo…no swarming crowds, no problem…95 % safe.

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.
