All of us at 826 Valencia and Litquake would like to extend a colossal thank you to the musician and authors who performed at the San Francisco Literary Map Release Party on September 7. It is due to their astonishing talent that the evening was such an incredible success. The performers were Jenny Traig, Michael Chabon, Ayelet Waldman, Michelle Tea, Gary Kamiya, Jerry Harrison, Nivia Brown, Belle Yang, Kirk Read and Jonathan Richman. We are truly honored that you graced our stage with your presence.

A very special thank you to Paul Madonna for displaying and auctioning his beautiful, original artwork for the San Francisco Literary Map, and to our sponsors: Roshambo Winery, Recchiutti Confections, Thirsty Bear Brewing, Bi-Rite, and Edinburgh Castle.

Also we could not have produced this event without our incredible volunteers, who are truly at the heart of what we do.
