We're a book club primarily, reading contemporary fiction and some YA or whatever else we vote for each month!  We like good food and book discussions and try to combine the two as often as possible.  But we're also an Alamo Drafthouse sing-alongs, costume drama parties, movie nights, plays, concerts, Bookpeople events, whatever else you can think of, club. I've been in Austin about two years, and this club has been a (social) life-saver.  I've made amazing new girlfriends, and I can't wait to m …

We welcome non-writers, as well! We are a group of people who express our mess of words in short, perfunctory pulses. There is no room for cliché (and hardly any for adjective) in our work. We want to be moved by others, and we hope to do the moving from time to time. We encourage writing with truth, clarity, and passion, and love it when reciting borders on Slam. Come to watch, read, share, recite, laugh, and drink (beer or coffee, depending on the time of day). Don't come to feed us rainbows. …
