TRANSplants will be tabling Saturday, June 14th, at Charlie’s Queer Books in Fremont. Come grab a copy of Issue 3 and say hello.


Issue 3 Release Party Recap

Last Friday was the official release of Issue 3 (grab a copy here). It was a blast!

Thank you to everyone who came out and partied with us, and especially huge thanks to the volunteers who helped it run so smoothly, the featured readers and open mic readers for sharing their work, Zara and Pansy for the music, and Pratt Fine Arts for hosting the release. Pratt is a local arts nonprofit that offers classes and equipment (including a Riso printer soon!). You can find out more about Pratt here.

Our featured readers were:

  1. Max West, Issue 1, A Survey of Satanic Locations: Capitol Hill

  2. Alana Storm, Issue 2, How to See True

  3. Eleanor Broker, Issue 3, Doe


We also had live music from the amazing Pansy and Zara. Best concert of the year in my unbiased opinion.
