Is it really worth all the trouble to celebrate a contrived holiday by spending money on flowers, chocolates, and cards? Why not come down to the Make-Out Room on February 13 for Love Hurts: Litquake Preps You for Valentine's Day with Readings From Some of the Most Wretched Passages on Love and Lust Ever Written. We proudly commemorate the year's most overrated celebration of romance, with readings from some of the most overwrought writing-Harold Robbins, Anne Rice, Dr. Ruth, Valley of the Dolls, The World of Suzie Wong, The Story of O, and much, much more! Special guest readers include Justin Chin, Daphne Gottlieb, Brock Keeling, Dr. Marty Klein, MariNaomi, Kirk Read, Michelle Richmond, Ellen Sussman, Michelle Tea, and Malena Watrous. Emceed by humorist/author Cassie Sneider.

Monday, February 13, the day before Valentine's Day, show starts at 7 pm, The Make-Out Room, 3225 22nd St. in the Mission, tickets just $10 advance or at the door.
