Lit Crawl Sebastopol 2025

Fresh off the success of our Mixtopia – What doesn’t kill you makes you stranger, at the Gestalat pub in San Francisco for Litcrawl 2024, ten days before the general election, we now present Mixtopia – Now and Zen. Our vision remains the same for Mixtopia, a future that is neither a dystopian Max Mad nor a utopian Nirvana but a fermentation of the corpus of human knowledge in all languages inclusive of arts, culture, somatic healing, and technology. This time we would focus on the job at hand in 2025 as a group of whimsical writers, aspiring artists, psychedelic performers and recorders of information. We are firm believers that the future is decided by fearless optimists who also understand that the time for now us to honor our three Zen minds of magnanimous mind, parental mind and joyful mind. As a presenter/host/writer I (Saqib Mausoof) have done multiple litcrawl events in the last decade. In 2014 we did "Arrivals" at 18 reasons with around 40 people attending and in 2015 we did "Sleeping with the enemy" at Brick and Mortar with over 65 people. We continued with "Subcontinental noir" in 2016, "Kindness of strangers" in 2017 and "Border crossings" for 2018. In 2019 we did "Fear of the unknown and Mixtopia in 2024. The Artist in our group Dylan Freitas-D'louhy is a resident of Sebastopol as well.
