Rivet is the online literary magazine from Red Bridge Press. Rivet publishes fiction, poetry, and nonfiction from beyond the mainstream. In each issue, you’ll find genre-bending work that takes readers into strange landscapes and offers new perspectives on the everyday. Rivet showcases established and emerging authors whose writing takes risks with form, content, or both; revels in the unexpected; and rewards with imagination and insight.

Leg Three Queer Beast Open Mic Hosted by Richard Loranger

ALL ARE WELCOME to Queer Beast Open Mic, the third-leg open for Beast Crawl 5. Located at Club BNB, Oakland’s premier LGBT nightclub, this event is queer-focused and all-inclusive. Slots go fast so get there early to sign up. With a mini-feature by the splendiferous Julian Mithra, and hosted by the absolutely-only-and-thank-goddess-for-that Richard Loranger. Come one, come all!
