On July 9th, The Rumpus teamed up with reading series organizers Quiet Lightning for a literary one-night stand at the Balançoire in San Francisco.
Not only were there readings by eight different authors—including special readings by Alice LaPlante and Brandon Brown—but comic Janine Brito and electro-pop band Le Fomo also performed sets.
But if you couldn’t make it, don’t fear! You can watch every performance except Le Fomo’s (it was just too mind-blowing and explosive to post on the Internet) here. You can also read the text for the literary mixtape here.
