earthworm reading series was held from april - december 2008 in my apartment
in the lower haight.

thanks so much to all the readers and all of my friends and fellow writers and artists
who were so enthusiastic about the series!

i moved to berkeley and out of my apartment in the haight, and i think the new space
requires new projects...so earthworm reading series is on permanent hiatus (i love the contradiction of that phrase)...

i had a great time, looking forward to the freshness of the new. see ya in the next incarnation.

love,
sara
