The Octopus Literary Salon is proud to present Babar in Exile, a quarterly commemoration and revival of the high energy San Francisco reading series of the 1990’s, Café Babar and Paradise Lounge. Our eighth installment marks the first anniversary of this series. We are excited to feature two former and very active participants of Babar and Paradise, Jon Longhi, whose writing has been compared to Terry Southern, Charles Bukowski, and Hunter S. Thompson, and Dawn Oberg, a versatile musician who is currently writing and recording songs from and for the Dystopia. As well we welcome “honorary Babarian” Joel Landmine, who will turn your day inside-out and lay it on the table. So come on down to check out a slice of Bay Area poetry history, now and in the making, and make your way home with a bindle full of inspiration and a thimbleful more hope for the species.

There will be cake.
