Saturday, October 14th promises intoxicating levels of literary delight as the Mission will once again crawl with writer types—including bestselling authors, award-winning poets, and all manner of local storytellers and rhapsodists—and their geeked-out groupies all getting lit together over themed cocktails and witty words.

That's right, Litquake's 13th Annual Lit Crawl, the world's largest literary pub crawl, returns with a four-hour "frolic of words and word-nerds" to showcase more than 100 events in cafes, galleries, and bars.
