San Francisco is careening headlong into the New Year by hosting the world's very first LDM for 2010. It's probably not a distinction that anyone will ever remember, but what is certain to be remembered is the line-up who will bring multimedia magic into their work. Writing, multimedia, drinks, and a Literary Death Match; what perfect way to set a pace for the New Year. Judges for the multi-media extravaganza are Twitter phenom Matt Stewart, KFog's Peter Finch, and SF literary darling Michelle Tea.

Our band of readers: fiction writing-visual performance team Matty Byloos and Josh Atlas, SF Chronicle cartoonist Michael Capozzola, science comedian Brian Malow, and more!
