Join the entire city in an evening-long bar crawl to 17 boozy literary events taking place all around First Hill and Capitol Hill. I don’t have enough space to list everyone who’s reading, so here’s a painfully abbreviated list of names to look out for: Richard Chiem, Nicole Hardy, David Shields, Crystal Curry, Vanessa Vaselka, and Elizabeth Austen. (That’s not even 10 percent of the lineup.) This will be one of the highlights of Seattle’s literary year, culminating in an after-party at Hugo House that will probably end in fisticuffs, lovemaking, and a spontaneous villanelle or two.
