We’ll begin @ 7 and go until about 9 or so, so bring $2 to get in and some money for booze (no one will be refused and we will take more as donation if you can spare it). We also have some announcements:

* Everyone subscribed to the mailing list will be entered into a monthly raffle. The winner gets 1 ticket to see the current play @ American Conservatory Theater, in this case Vigil. There is a catch, of course: you have to go with me, Evan! (I am sorry about this. I asked for an extra ticket so I could give two away, but hey; press only gets you so far. The good news is, ACT is amazing. I will draw on the day of this upcoming show, the 1st, and announce the winner @ the end. Then we’ll coordinate the best time for both of us. Exciting, yes?
* We are taking submissions of artwork for the fabulous postcards that accompany each event. They should be scaled to 4×6. Pretty much anything goes except erotica – unless its tasteful. We here @ QL are o so refined. Keep in mind that text will cover at least half of your image. We accept photos too, and proudly give credit where credit is due.
* We are very pleased to announce that the next episode will take place Apr 5 @ Cantina, home of our first episode. It’s cozy and lovely down there, and we want to maintain that feeling.

* We’ve got some surprises lined up for March 1 . . . just sayin’!

love and excitement,

evan and raja

ps. we would enthusiastically like to congratulate our very own meghan thornton, who has just this weekend won the poetry competition @ the San Francisco Writers Conference for “Moonlight Recessional,” which you can see her read below (from the first Quiet Lightning!). Wish her, as we would say back home, ‘Mazel Tov!’
