Writers With Drinks – SF Weekly

Little write up about Jane doing Writers with Drinks tonight. See you there? 🙂

Writers With Drinks @ The Make-Out Room (Sat.)
At any given Writers with Drinks, crowds gather to sip cocktails while enjoying live readings by local literary luminaries. This time, it’s someone you may not immediately associate with writing –  Jane Wiedlin. The pixie-ish co-founder and lead singer of seminal 1980s girl group The Go-Gos, Wiedlin also has written two musicals, a Lady Robotika comic, and is in the midst of her screenwriting-directing debut (a short film entitled The Pyrex Tales). Also reading this time around, Ethan Watters, author of Crazy Like Us: The Globalization of the American Psyche and novelist Blake Charlton. ($5-$10, 7:30 p.m.)

Thanks from Jane!

Hi!
Thanks to your help, I raised $4,024.00 for The BUSTED FOUNDATION, the people who organize Bowling For Boobies. The event was a big success and a lot of fun. This year I have become an even WORSE bowler, but hey, it’s not about winning the game, it’s about helping the people!

I know there are tons of charities and people out there wanting your hard-earned money, and I appreciate that you put your faith in me and this event. You can feel great knowing that your money goes directly to help women that are fighting breast cancer to pay their bills.

Lots of love and gratitude,
Jane
