Description

Imagine having lunch (or coffee) with ruth weiss.


One of the original writers of the Beat generation, and a part of the North Beach scene prior to the arrival of Kerouac and Ginsberg, ruth was the first to combine poetry with live jazz; a performance styling that became a defining aspect of the Beat generation itself. ruth continues to write, is a painter and performance artist, and in recent years has been collaborating with jazz musicians in Vienna, Austria.


Take ruth weiss to lunch (or coffee) at either her or your favorite restaurant or cafe. Either way the tab is on you, the bidder. And the experience should prove to be invaluable!


 

Special Instructions

Lunch location must be in San Francisco Bay Area and date and time will be one mutually agreeable to both ruth and the bidder.
