THERE 32

Saturday, March 21 2020, at East Bay Booksellers, 5433 College Avenue in Oakland, featuring Julia Flynn Siler, Devi S. Laskar and Sunisa Manning, plus musical guests Kate Brubeck with Geoff Van Lienden and Allen Samelson.

THERE was featured prominently in the San Francisco Chronicle!

THERE (THe Eastbay Reading Extravaganza) is a reading series showcasing emerging and established writers from Oakland and Berkeley, with the occasional San Franciscan. For more than four years. Doug hosted it on the (usually) third Friday of each month at Octopus Literary Salon in Uptown Oakland. It also features a live original musical performance by a local musical artist at “halftime” of each month’s reading, and Doug’s famous original LitQuiz literary trivia contest. It’s from 7:00-9:00pm. THERE has been putting the there back in Oakland since 2015! But sadly, the Octopus was forced to close its doors in August ’19, so now THERE is relocating to East Bay Booksellers in the Rockridge district of Oakland, resuming February 22, 2020.
