ZYZZYVA Party & Annual Fundraiser

Join ZYZZYVA as we mix things up and transform our annual fundraiser into a party in the Mission! Forget for a moment our national distress, and celebrate with your fellow writers, poets, and artists—and the readers who support them—in the cool dark of the Make Out Room. We’ll have music, drinks, a dance floor, and no less an emcee than Daniel Handler to take us through the night!

Friday, June 16, 6:30 p.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Make Out Room
3225 22nd St, San Francisco

This special evening to benefit ZYZZYVA will feature:

• A short program featuring contributors and friends including City Lights Bookstore’s Paul Yamazaki, poet Ruth Madievsky, and Caille Millner.
• DJ Teemoney (a.k.a., music and food writer Tamara Palmer) playing dance tunes from the Eighties and Nineties
• A silent auction with opportunities to bid on special items from Foreign Cinema, Alamo Drafthouse, City Lights Books, the Mechanics’ Institute, and more, including a lunch with ZYZZYVA’s Editors.
