“Beast Crawl” 2012 After Party | Oakland

Come mingle with writers, curators, and organizers from all 27 of the Beast Crawl venues, drink delicious drinks, and dance, dance, dance to music by DJ Chcheze.

This is the final destination, where we all meet up and celebrate after we get our lit fix in the first 3 legs of the Beast Crawl.

Beast Crawl is Uptown Oakland’s first annual literary “pub” crawl, a free festival featuring more than 150 poets, writers and performance artists in a single night, spread out over three hours and 25 local galleries, bars, restaurants, cafés, and storefronts.

“Oakland is the Brooklyn of the Bay Area – it’s where the artists live. To be part of Beast Crawl is to crawl among giants.” 
~Carolyn Cooke
