SFGATE - “The Poop” (link to original article)

By Peter Hartlaub

The geniuses behind this year’s Litquake Lit Crawl have organized a special parenting-themed event. Mommy Lit is scheduled from 6-7 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 14, at Ti Couz Restaurant (3108 16th Street) in the Mission. Kids are welcome!

Acclaimed authors of mommy-related literature Kate Hodson, Joan Blades, Ericka Lutz, Kathy Ellison, Polly Pagenhart and Rachel Sarah will be reading from their books and essays. I received copies of their work a couple of weeks ago and it’s a great group — the readings are really varied and should be a lot of fun.

I’ll write more about that next week. Ti Couz and Litquake have agreed to create a menu of specialty drinks with mommy themes — and we get to help pick the names! Mommy Lit producer Rosie Levy Merlin gave the example of “Mommy’s Little Helper,” which could be a dirty martini or whatever.

Please use the comments section to suggest drinks (either existing ones or of your own invention) and give them creative names. Deadline is Monday early a.m. Rosie says five or so will be used at the Mommy Lit event.

I’ve written an example in the comments section.

(I almost forgot — I’ll be emceeing this event. And I’m partial to bourbon. …)
