First rule of Write Club? Talk about write club

Write Club SF's motto is "literature as a bloodsport," and the gloves are definitely off with the monthly literary competition's first anthology, Bare-Knuckled Lit: The Best of Write Club.

WCSF, an offshoot of a Chicago group, was formed in 2011 by Steven Westdahl and Casey Childers. The club pits writers with opposing viewpoints against each other in seven-minute bouts, with very real money for charity at stake, every third Tuesday of the month at the booze-soaked Make-Out Room. For the launch party, the gang is moving uptown to the classier (but still boozy) environs at the Booksmith. Prepare for battle.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
