A huge thank you to Alley Cat books for hosting our Launch Party on May 23! We had a standing-room-only turnout to celebrate the latest issue of Forum and hear from many of the contributors featured in the issue.

Especially when the artists and writers of San Francisco are feeling the pressures and rapid changes of the city, gatherings like ours on Thursday can serve as a revitalization of the creative spirit. The bravery of our readers sharing their stories, and the support of all the attendees, resonated with a sustaining hope. A deep thank you to everyone!

And now for some photographic proof of that “revitalization of the creative spirit.” 😉
