EFF benefit in San Francisco: Me, Rudy Rucker, Annalee Newitz, Charlie Jane Anders

I'm thrilled to announce that I'm doing a benefit reading for the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco on March 23, 2009 -- a week this Monday -- along with Rudy Rucker, Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders. Hope to see you there:

Join EFF on Monday, March 23rd, for a fundraising event featuring award-winning writer Cory Doctorow. Cory will be reading from his novel, "Little Brother," a story of high-tech teenage rebellion set in the familiar world of San Francisco. As he currently calls the UK home, this is a rare opportunity to to hear Cory read from his work in person. He will be joined by fellow writers Rudy Rucker, Annalee Newitz and Charlie Jane Anders reading from their latest works.

7pm on Monday March 23, at the 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco.

Admission is $25. No one turned away for lack of funds. Must be 21 or older to attend.

Ooh, I may have to drop by for that. I'll be in town! I haven't seen Ms. Newitz in a coon's age.

Why the 21 or older bit? I only say this because of the hint of free booze's siren lure, good sir.

Isn't it odd to require "21 or older" at a Little Brother reading? Maybe it's to encourage teens to find a way to sneak in or make fake ID.

Brain tangles are not necessarily a bad thing. These brains seem to squiggle and are fun to play with. The owners may object to the notion that they can have fun without being anywhere, but they can. A boat ride is recommended. To the No Name.

Sorry Cory can't make it. I have a deal with the DHS: I promise not to enter the US, and they promise not to strip search me and take away my fluids.

Would you be a dear and ask Xeni to ask Derek to ask Edie to video it for me?

Shouldn't that be Rudy Rucker, Annalee Newitz, Charlie Jane Anders, and me?
