Notable Los Angeles

The following is a short list of literary LA happenings:

Saturday 1/5: Dave Ross and Jake Weissman host Two-Headed Beast, a story-telling show. I’ve seen great comedians participate. Two of which were Kyle Kinane and Maria Bamford. Free. Stories. 8 p.m.

Sunday 1/6: Story-time! Bring your kids, bring their friends, bring the neighbor’s kids, for classic and contemporary children’s books read by Jessica Jill Turner & Friends. Free. The Pop-Hop. Noon.

Thursday 1/10: A Bizarro Fiction Spectacular! With authors: Kristin Alene, Amelia Gray, Ben Loory, Cameron Pierce, and Eric Raymond. Free. Stories. 7 p.m.

Always: Start the year off right by becoming an 826LA volunteer! Volunteering at 826LA is one of the best ways to spend your time. Recently, 826LA opened up a brand new location with a beautiful store. In addition, Forbes Magazine highlighted 826LA’s Marisa Urrutia Gedney. Congrats to 826LA!

The Rumpus needs your help. We need to raise $25,000 to fill our funding gap for 2024.

Our home base is Asheville, NC and Hurricane Helene severely impacted our ability to host events, launch new initiatives, and caused other significant financial setbacks this fall.

Can you support us at any level by Dec. 31? Every dollar counts and is a sign that our readers collectively value creative labor and independent publishing.

YEs, I'd like to help!
