We were jazzed about Quiet Lightning's submission-based lit reading series when it debuted in the Conservatory of Flowers a few months back. Tonight, the local literary concern collides with LitQuake for the final installment of their reading series in the Conservatory, and promises writing of all forms, read in a unique setting without unnecessary author banter.

After tonight's show, the materials will be presented as a book with artwork by Mary Behm-Steinberg. Behm-Steinberg's work will be on display in the conservatory tonight along with visual art from de Young Artist Fellow Todd T. Brown.

As for libations, Lagunitas will be sponsoring the beers at $3 a pop.

Conservatory of Flowers, 100 John F Kennedy Drive, Golden Gate Park
Doors at 7 p.m., Show at 8 p.m. sharp
$5 suggested cover, but we're told no one is turned away for being too broke.

If lit readings sound too serious for you, you might also check out the free comedy happy hour at Cafe Royale in Nob Hill or the return of comedy at El Rio if you're in the Mission tonight.
