Join us the weekend of October 2 through 4 for a cornucopia of online events! Traditionally our annual Crawl is a large scale literary event featuring dozens of wordsmiths and storytellers bridging genres and generations, demographics and experience levels. Due to Covid, this years festivities will be ONLINE and will remain to be FREE to attend.

THE LINE UP INCLUDES:

FRIDAY

7 pm- C3 VIRTUAL KICKOFF HAPPY HOUR… how does one kick off a weekend of literary festivities with an event that’s usually a pub crawl? With happy hour of course! What does ZOOM happy hour look like? We don’t even know but we invite you to join us for writerly banter, maybe a story or two and live music provided by Kristen Marlo!

SATURDAY

11 am- PERHAPS IT TAKES COURAGE TO RAISE CHILDREN: Parenthood isn’t all sunshine and rainbows. Sure, there are plenty of memories made, the sweet snuggles and witnessing your tiny humans discovering things in their world for the first time—but there is also the weight of worry and responsibility. Parenthood takes love and patience and perhaps…courage. Featuring stories by Dawn Ellis, Adam Blodgett and Tiffany Aldrich MacBain– this line up will explore the shared experience of parenthood through different filters of lives lived.

2 pm- VOUME SEVEN SNEAKY PEEKS: Creative Colloquy is launching our 7th annual print publication this winter and we can’t wait to share it with you! Rather than wait until the release of the book, we’d like to present a little sneak peek of the stories you can anticipate within the pages including stories by Suzanne Akerman, Jonny Eberle, Cathy Warner and Sam Snoek-Brown.

7 pm- THE TACOMA WOMEN OF COLOR COLLECTIVE PRESENTS:

SUNDAY

11 am- YARNING A TALE FOR THE YOUNGSTERS: CC is curating our first ever story time for the little ones in our lives. Join us for vivid imagery and family fun with stories penned by Jennifer Chushcoff, Tom Llewellyn and more TBA

2 pm- TBD

7 pm- FROM BIGFOOT TO HONEST POLITICIANS: MODERN URBAN LEGENDS:
