The Shadow Celebrates My Sucky Valentine

Valentine's Day is a wonderful day for lovers. But for those of us who are not with that "special someone" on this holy day for lovers, there is the "anti-Valentine's Day Party", also known as "My Sucky Valentine".

The stage area for My Sucky Valentine

My Sucky Valentine, presented in conjunction with ARTWorkSF's One Night Stand Show, are erotic readings from authors giving their take on Valentine's Day. Readers included:

• Thomas Roche
• Carol Queen
• Julia Serrano
• Sherilyn Connelly
• Thea Hillman
• mi blue
• Simon Sheppard

Carol Queen gives her insights of love

This was a pretty laid back evening with proceeds for the evening going to the Women's Community Clinic and Saint James Infirmary. The erotica read that night included something for everyone's taste.

Sherilyn Connelly wows the crowd with her readings

All in all, great readings and a great ending to the three days of ARTWorkSF's One Night Stand.
