Did you manage to miss the December Monthly Rumpus due to a prior engagement, a badly timed break-up, or the simple fact that you, like much of the world, don’t live in the Bay Area?
Or were you lucky enough to be in attendance, but ever since have been salivating at the thought of reliving the glory?
Either way, my friends, today is your lucky day. Thanks to the magic of photography you can feel like you’re at the December Monthly Rumpus right now!
Sometimes the Monthly Rumpus gets so special it sparkles.

Tamim Ansary, author of Destiny Disrupted Ethan Gilsdorf, author of Fantasy Freaks and Gaming Geeks Melanie Gideon, author of The Slippery Year Chelsea Martin, author of Everything Was Fine Until Whatever

As you no doubt know, we’ve got another Rumpus event coming up this Tuesday, July 7, in San Francisco: Sex, Music, Comedy night with Jill Sobule. We’ve got a bunch of great acts including sex worker/authors Michelle Tea, Kirk Read, Madison Young, and Zak Smith. Burlesque by Mariel a la Mode. Comedy by Kyle Kinane. Music by Sig and (of course) special guest musician Jill Sobule. The event is Co-sponsored by Kink.com and The Center for Sex and Culture. Tickets here.
Still not sold? Well checkout these photos from our last event (not posted till now for dramatic timing… not because I lost my camera for a little while… I swear). Don’t try and pretend you don’t want to be a part of this:
A good reason to buy tickets ahead of time online.
**
Unfortunately, you can't buy drinks ahead of time online (but they are colder this way).
**
The Yellow Dress (they are Mission famous).
**
The venue is the Makeout Room (makeouts are encouraged, though not guaranteed).
**
Derek Fagerstrom, Lauren Smith, Thao Nguyen, and Mike Chino (in no particular order).
**
This guy will most certainly be there on Tuesday.
**
We don't know if these ladies will be in attendance or not, but we certainly hope so.

This dude was looking for a haircut next door, but they were closed. Instead he rocked with us and met the love of his life!
**
See?! (You thought I was lying. I was not. The dude was practically already in the broken heart stage by the end of the show. Look at his face.)
**
Look at how much fun we're having!
**
So much fun!

These folks helped organize the last event. (Also, I think I may have complimented this gentleman's eyes more than was appropriate. Sorry if I made things weird Mr. Blue-Eyed Man.)

Pretty sure this young woman said she had recently dropped out of art school to go fish the Bering Sea. But things were kind of hazy for me at that point, so I'm not sure.
I’ll be teaching a class on writing from experience in New York, Monday, August 3, from 6 to 9pm. There’s very limited seating so it’s a good idea to sign up in advance.
Sign up for our monthly (sometimes twice monthly) San Francisco newsletter, The Monthly Rumpus. This is entirely different from The Daily Rumpus, which is a kind of personal email. This is strictly a notice for cool bay area political and literary events, generally affiliated with The Rumpus, in particular our Monthly Rumpus, which is generally how we fund this whole thing.
The Rumpus is teaming up with Kink.com for our next event in San Francisco, July 7. It was only a matter of time before only literary magazines teamed up with fetish porn studios to produce events. Or maybe not. Hard to say.
(Ok, not that cheap, but we had expenses this time) Same price advance and at the door.
Advance ticket holders let in first, it’s just easier that way.
If you can’t afford the ticket price email isaac@therumpus.net, a limited number of discount tickets are available in advance.

Catered reception, July 7, 5pm at The Latin American featuring the artists and special guests from Kink.com, including web mistress Princess Donna. $55 event and reception
For the Ritual Roasters exhibit, Madonna has made a series of large-scale multi-panel cartoons, furthering his comics as art approach. A perfect venue for Madonna’s Small Potatoes series, The Rumpus is an online magazine focused on cultural comment, daily publishing content on books, art, music, media, film, politics, and sex by professional artists and authors from around the world.
Paul Madonna also writes and draws the weekly strip, All Over Coffee in the San Francisco Chronicle. His first book, All Over Coffee, was published in 2007 by City Lights Books, and the first edition of his new drawing book series, Album, will be published this November by Electric Works. Paul’s drawings and prints are shown in galleries and museums, and this summer a five-year anniversary show of All Over Coffee is on display at the Jewett Gallery in the San Francisco Main Public Library. And in 1993 Paul was the first ever Art Intern at Mad Magazine, for which he proudly received no money.
