Overview
- City leaders plan to declare Oct. 17 as Broke‑Ass Stuart Day, with a celebration at Kilowatt in the Mission District.
- The Worst of Broke‑Ass Stuart: 20 Years of Love, Death & Dive Bars publishes the same day as a 350‑page volume described as part memoir and part cultural archive.
- The release party features burlesque by Ashanti Altovese, a drag set by Per Sia, circus acts by Landyn Endo, live music from Sofia & The Afterglow, a DJ set by Duserock, and a book Q&A with Honey Mahogany.
- The anthology includes reprints of earlier work such as selections from his 7x7 Weeknighter nightlife columns.
- Schuffman’s platform has amplified underheard voices over the years even as he notes shrinking regular contributors, low pay for writers, advertiser hesitance over the brand, and an older audience.
