That’s right, September 13 we have two Rumpus events, one in San Francisco and one in New York.

In New York we’ve got comedians MICHAEL SHOWALTER and JESSI KLEIN, readings by NICK FLYNN, SARA MARCUS, HILTON ALS, Elissa Bassist, and CORRINA BAIN, and a musical performance by FRANKIE ROSE AND THE OUTS.

In San Francisco we’ve got authors Creston Lea, Katie Crouch, Rives, and Daniel Alarcón. Music by John Craigie and Shovelman Isaac Frankle. And a Performance by Chicken John!

If you could be in both places at once you’d be dead. Choose wisely!

Tickets for San Francisco. Tickets for New York.
