About this Event

For Litquake’s opening night, we warmly invite you to celebrate the books you’d never admit to reading! Smut? Pulp? Sweet Valley High? The less cocktail-party calibrated, the better – there’s no such thing as too lowbrow. Tell us your deepest, darkest literary indulgence when you buy your ticket, and comedy icon Natasha Muse will perform a custom set based on your answers.

Join Litquake for food, drink, and guaranteed grooves from DJ Lead Teddy to launch our 2025 festival season! $50 adv/door ($75 to sponsor a local bookseller/librarian)
