(5:30 to 7:30 p.m., Rayko Photo Center, 428 Third Street)
LITERARY: SFist has it on good authority that queer literary gemstones Michelle Tea, Brontez Purnell, Annie Danger, Cassie J Snyder, and more will be reading at Occupy SF's: Art and Performance Series tonight. Definitely a great time to check out the camp! (5 p.m., Justin Herman Plaza, 1 Market Street)
WORKSHOP: Now, here's something many of us nerdy San Franciscans can benefit from -- Burlesque Basics for the Shy & Awkward, in which Virgie Tovar, aka Dulce de Lecherous, will teach "sexy book worms and the flirty Frasier-enthusiasts" "the difference between a shimmy and a bump and the power of eye contact" and how to choose your "burly alter ego, and practice your new moves." (6:30 to 7:30 p.m., Good Vibrations, 1620 Polk Street)
