more details » Writers With Drinks at The Make Out Room Date: Saturday, September 8, 2012, 7:30 to 9:30 PM, doors open at 6:30 PM What: WRITERS WITH DRINKS! Featuring: Michael Drucker, Cassie Alexander and Steven Martin Location: The Make Out Room, 3225 22nd. St., San Francisco Admission: $5 to $10 sliding scale, all proceeds benefit the CSC. About the readers/performers: Mike Drucker was a finalist in Disney's "So You Think You're Funny" contest and the runner-up for Philadelphia's Funniest. Since then, he has performed at colleges and in comedy festivals across the country including the Boston Comedy Festival, Seattle International Comedy Competition, New Orleans Comedy Festival, New York Underground Comedy Festival and more. With his sharp jokes and unusual topics, Mike has also been lucky enough to contribute writing to "Saturday Night Live," The Onion, The Onion News Network on Comedy Central, "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon," McSweeney's, Nintendo, College Humor, the Mark Twain Awards and the ESPY Awards. Cassie Alexander is a registered ICU nurse at an undisclosed location in the Bay Area. Her urban fantasy trilogy deals with a nurse who treats supernatural patients -- Nightshifted came out this past May, Moonshifted will be out in November, and Shapeshifted, will be out June of next year. At work, she's seen necrotizing fasciitis, gangrenous scrotums, and had her hands entirely inside other people's body cavities, only not in a good way. In the late 1980s, San Diego native Steven Martin left the U.S. to live in Southeast Asia. Twenty years later he was the world's foremost authority on Chinese opium-smoking paraphernalia—and a forty-pipe-per-day opium addict. After taking the cure in a Buddhist monastery in Thailand, Steven wrote a memoir, Opium Fiend: A 21st Century Slave to a 19th Century Addiction, chronicling his obsession with the world's oldest and most seductive drug. About Writers With Drinks: Writers With Drinks won "Best Literary Night" from the SF Bay Guardian readers' poll six years in a row and was named "Best Literary Drinking" by the SF Weekly. And it was namechecked in Armistead Maupin's latest Tales of the City novel. The spoken word "variety show" mixes genres to raise money for local worthy causes. The award-winning show includes poetry, stand-up comedy, science fiction, fantasy, romance, mystery, literary fiction, erotica, memoir, zines and blogs in a freewheeling format.
