The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

Come to Franklin Park this Monday at 8pm for High Voltage, a FREE reading put on by Electric Literature. If this is the first you’re hearing of Electric Literature, here’s their beautifully simple mission statement:

Electric Literature’s mission is to use new media and innovative distribution to return the short story to a place of prominence in popular culture.

High Voltage is a monthly installation that includes readings from the magazine’s contributing authors, screenings of animated shorts and dancing (playlist put together by contributing authors). Their mission is a welcomed challenge now that CNN has conditioned our minds to three sentences summaries. And now we have GIF porn! GIF porn. Why would anyone read?
