Some serious geek love, reading at Femina Potens, this Friday

It’s been almost four years since I’ve done a reading at Femina Potens, I know — and since then, Madison Young’s labor of porno-fueled love (sincerely, her feminist art space is built “one anal scene at a time,” she says) has jumped across town from the outskirts of the Mission into a space that was once home to another queer San Francisco institution, Image Leather.

So come out and celebrate geek love with us in time for (oh I know) Valentine’s Day. I’ll be reading something from the collection of stories that I’ve been working on for a few years about my sexual history with the internet — which are also a sexual history of the internet because I am precocious and lucky.

Details, details:

Femina Potens proudly presents SIZZLE, the monthly Bay Area award winning literary erotica series. SIZZLE heats up the Castro every month, merging internationally acclaimed queer and erotic authors with the Bay Area’s top emerging local writers, spoken word artists and performers. SIZZLES’s open mic performances regularly reveal the bravest, hottest, most eclectic performers that the Bay Area has to offer.

This February, Femina Potens is celebrating geeky, Sci Fi love and lickable literary adventures of the nerdsome variety. Come parade your highest Pong score with the queer literary legends, titillating transformers and sexy scientists of Femina Potens. SIZZLE is proud to present Chica Boom (voted Miss Gay Latina) with a seductive Sci Fi burlesque act. Francesca Ochoa, writer and activist for the ground breaking Art XX magazine, will entice us with her electrifying writing on eels. Jeff Stroker will intermix the periodic elements of S&M and Atari into a collision of come-hither coitus, performance and writing. Melissa Gira Grant, sex blogger and sex worker activist, will obsessively orate the hottest of Internet love legends.

Femina Potens will host a Q&A panel with authors and performers after the reading, and dares all to cultivate dialog and tap into the creative process of the wordsmiths and sexy geniuses in our communities.

Deeply touch your own inner geek this Friday Feb 13th, 2009 at 8pm at Femina Poten’s Sizzle.
