A Bar of One's Own: a happy hour salon 4 writers

As Virginia Woolf famously said---

"A queer must have a companion and bar of their own if they are to write words down on papers or screens"

Are you a writer-chaser? Do you objectify wordsmiths? Do poet tops make your ink run?

A happy hour for the famous, infamous, private, public and secretive writers of the Bay along with their scribe-amorous admirers. Come early for the opening reading and stay late for the closing reading. Drink & salon vibes in between ♥
