Our appearance at the Babylon Salon in San Francisco on June 14 was a success. J.S. Sasken read, James Hass observed, Ron Kurash commented wryly. We met Ashley from San Francisco Magazine, and Davis writer Lucy Corin. We all watched the brave Kate Braverman do her thing. Next Babylon Salon is September 13 and we plan to lurk in the back, sipping a gimlet.

Thanks to Les at the Bazaar Cafe on California Street in San Francisco and all those old and new friends who came out on a blustery Tuesday evening in May to support the Farallon Review. Readings by Jamie Genna, Lynka Adams, and James Hass were quite well received. Leia won the Lit Quiz. Copies of the Premier Issue were signed and admired.
