Speaker Bio: 

Victor Harris has been a staple on the Bay Area poetry scene since 1999 and was on the Poetry Slam Finals stage for Team Oakland in 2003. He is the recipient of the 2001 Frederic C. Fallon Award for poetry from Chabot College, and a 2006 graduate of Cal State University Hayward. Victor has been writing and performing atheist/skeptical/rational/science themed poetry since 2007 and has performed at conferences around the country. When he’s not writing, or performing or DJing, he is the talent behind Reuschelle’s Cheesecakes and won a Best of the Bay award from the East Bay Express in 2009.


Musician Bio :

 A revelation! Kory Quinn is the steady pendulum of a land oil rig. He swings betwixt misery and pride. Over the last decade with seven official self-releases Kory Quinn has tapped inspiration. He explores the complexities inherent in the immorality of capitalism and the individual purpose found in one’s work. With uncanny awareness aims his bead at the exact point where two disparate paradigms collide. He speaks of the greater implications of our reliance on fossil fuels, corrupt political system, the opioid epidemic, mental health, fear, etc. Even as he tackles such heaviness, the songs are boisterous, driving, and hopeful.The perfect rallying cry for humanity from the heart of a working man.

We are back to our regular start time of 10:30 AM. Doors open at 10:00 AM
