Join us for our last author event for 2012 — with our good friends Kim Stanley Robinson and Cecelia Holland<\/a>. Each author will read a selection from their work, and we’ll have Q & A moderated by author Terry Bisson afterwards. Book signing and schmoozing follows in the lounge, with books for sale courtesy of Borderlands Books<\/a>; podcasting courtesy of Rick Kleffel and The Agony Column<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n As a extra feature of our last event this year — If you attend this event, please bring a new, unwrapped gift for a teenager, and get a free gift from Variety!<\/em> We are beginning our annual toy drive for the holidays and you can help us jump start it! It’s REALLY hard and difficult to get donations for teenagers for the agencies that Variety serves — we are asking you to help!! Boys or girls, ages 13-18, new and unwrapped<\/em>, please. Some of the agencies we serve are Boys & Girls Clubs of Mid-Peninsula, United Playaz, Kids of Bethel Island, Florence Crittenton Services-Whitney Young Child Development Center, and many more — your help is appreciated!<\/p>\n Donations at the door of $5-$10 per person benefits Variety Children’s Charity of Northern California.<\/strong> The SF in SF events are held to help fundraise for this worthy charity.
