Because I’m awful at self-promotion, I haven’t managed to get this out until the last minute. Still, if you’re in San Francisco tonight, don’t have tickets to the Giants game, and want to check out a fabulous panel of sportswriters, stop by the Hemlock Tavern for Litquake’s It’s All Over but the Crying: A Night of Authors on Sports.

I’ll be reading along with ESPN’s Howard Bryant (The Last Hero: A Life of Henry Aaron), Dan Epstein (Big Hair and Plastic Grass: A Funky Ride Through Baseball and America in the Swinging ’70s), David Henry Sterry and Alan Black (co-authors of The Glorious World Cup) and old pal Dan Fost (Giants Past & Present), along with iconic A’s photographer Michael Zagaris.

Having listened to him opine on several occasions, I can honestly say that giving Zagaris the mic for an hour would itself be worth the price of admission.

The event will be at 1131 Polk St. in San Francisco at 7 p.m. Tickets are $10, and can be purchased here.
