After a hiatus, Ingleside-based reading series Lit Night will return Monday, Oct. 3, at bar and grill Ocean Ale House.

City College of San Francisco creative writing instructors and students intend to keep the open mic night going after its founder, English teacher Michelle Simotas, departed for Southern California earlier this year.

“We hope you will come to read, sip and talk with old and new friends,” an announcement states. “Looking forward to rekindling the Lit Night flame with you all!”

Miles Escobedo, the owner of Ocean Ale House, will continue hosting the event.

There are some changes. Instead of having a theme such as love or fear, the participants will be able to select a reading with any topic. The organizers said the themes might return in the future.
