Thursday mornings at Hive Mind belong to queer and trans writers who want to show up and actually get work done—surrounded by people who get it. Bring your laptop, your draft, your manuscript, your questions, or just the need for a quiet table and good coffee in a space that's genuinely welcoming. No pressure, no performance, just writers doing the work together.

The main event is the Best Ass Contest: get on stage, grab a free shot, and shake for a chance at a $25 bar tab. With cheap drinks ($3 PBR tall boys, $7 PBR/shot combos) and no cover, it's the reliably fun midweek reset that keeps the crowd coming back.
