Our October fundraiser at Needles & Pens bookstore in San Francisco was a great inauguration to the project. Fans of Ursula K. Le Guin and the Le Guin-curious came to enjoy the fine sounds of the Top Critters (see photo). Anna Brown and Brontez read two of Le Guin’s short stories: “The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas” and “The Author of the Acacia Seeds.” I gave a short introduction to the project, and we did a short but very engaging Q&A. Thanks to everyone who helped out and donated their time and money, for making this a successful event!
