Wear leather-soled shoes or sneakers, bring water, and arrive 10 minutes early.

Queer Writing Summer Sessions

Tuesday, August 18th, 2026

6:30 PM

Every Tuesday in July and August, writers gather at Hive Mind to spend the evening actually writing—no pressure, no critique, just the quiet momentum of showing up. It's free, it's in a space that gets queer literature, and it's the kind of low-key commitment that somehow makes the work happen. Bring a project, a blank page, or just the intention to sit down and write.

HI Drag

7:00 PM

Tuesday nights at Pieces belong to HI Drag — a rotating lineup of local drag performers who know how to work a room and keep the energy high. It's the kind of reliable, unpretentious drag show that keeps people coming back: strong drinks, a packed bar, and performers who actually connect with the crowd.
