Mitzi is the founder\, host and producer of the literary podcast\, “First Draft: A Dialogue on Writing\,” which features a new author interview each week. She has interviewed more than 500 contemporary writers of fiction\, nonfiction\, essays\, and poetry over the past eleven years.

Rapkin is also a journalist\, fiction writer\, certified integral coach\, facilitator\, and fiction-writing instructor.  \nGENRE: PANEL \nFirst Draft: A Dialogue on Writing is a literary podcast produced and hosted by Mitzi Rapkin. Each week the podcast features an in-depth interview with a fiction\, non-fiction\, essay\, or poetry writer. The show is equal parts investigation into the craft of writing and conversation about the topics of an author’s work. \nABOUT STAG DANCE \nIn this collection of one novel and three novellas\, Torrey Peters’s keen eye for the rough edges of community and desire push the limits of trans writing.In Stag Dance\, the titular novel\, a group of restless lumberjacks working in an illegal winter logging outfit plan a dance that some of them will volunteer to attend as women. When the broadest\, strongest\, plainest of the axmen announces his intention to dance as a woman\, he finds himself caught in a strange rivalry with a pretty young jack\, provoking a cascade of obsession\, jealousy\, and betrayal that will culminate on the big night in an astonishing vision of gender and transition.Three startling novellas surround Stag Dance: “Infect Your Friends and Loved Ones” imagines a gender apocalypse brought about by an unstable ex-girlfriend. In “The Chaser\,” a secret romance between roommates at a Quaker boarding school brings out intrigue and cruelty. In the last novella\, “The Masker\,” a party weekend on the Las Vegas strip turns dark when a young crossdresser must choose between two guides: a handsome mystery man who objectifies her in thrilling ways\, or a cynical veteran trans woman offering unglamorous sisterhood.Acidly funny and breathtaking in its scope\, with the inventive audacity of George Saunders or Jennifer Egan\, Stag Dance provokes\, unsettles\, and delights. \n \n Click Here To Learn More\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Torrey Peters is the author of the novel Detransition\, Baby\, which won the 2021 PEN/Hemingway award for debut fiction and was named a Best Book of the Century by the New York Times.

Join us for June’s premier dance party featuring live musical performances by this year’s host\, N3PTUNE. Good times\, indeed! \nNamed the Best Breakout Artist of 2023 by Westword Magazine\, N3PTUNE is an explosive queer multi-hyphenate hailing from Denver\, CO. Heavily influenced by his upbringing in the Baptist Church\, N3PTUNE alongside his co-producer and virtuoso guitarist RSTY merge the essence of gospel\, blues\, and soul into an amalgamation of pop music as only their minds can create. Their songs are bold and brash\, and their live performances are immersive and raw to the point where Sleigh Bells’ Alexis Krauss likened the experience to “seeing Prince live for the first time” and proceeded to invite them to tour with them on the spot. \nTheir quick ascent from the local DIY scene to selling out shows and performing on some of Denver’s biggest stages like Red Rocks\, Ball Arena Halftime Show for the Nuggets\, and supporting the likes of Cordae\, Matt & Kim\, Rina Sawayama\, Wyclef Jean\, Sleigh Bells\, KennyHoopla\, Aluna and others\, has made N3PTUNE + RSTY staples in Denver’s music scene. Not only that\, but their penchant for pushing fashion and performance art in visuals and live performances has allowed them to carve a lane for themselves\, unlike anything that has come before. RENAISSANCE\, their first collaboration arrived on December 10\, 2021\, to critical acclaim. The project produced major singles in “Black Horse” and “White Pony” both of which received significant syndicated radio play\, and the latter getting prominent co-signs on Spotify’s Nu-Blue playlist and others. \nN3PTUNE + RSTY supported the album by touring the East Coast alongside Sleigh Bells in August 2022. After major performances at festivals like Electric Forest and Capitol Hill Block Party in 2023\, N3PTUNE + RSTY will be releasing their long-awaited debut album\, in early 2025. \nLearn more: WEBSITE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM / YOUTUBE / SPOTIFY \n \n \n \n \n \n \nSHOW @ 8:30 PM / DOORS @ 8:00 PM\nSTANDING ROOM SHOW / 21+\nALL TICKET SALES ARE FINAL\nLIMIT OF 4 TICKETS PER PURCHASER URL:https://aspenout.com/event/pride-dance-party-hosted-by-n3ptune/ LOCATION:TACAW\, 400 Robinson Street\, Basalt\, CO\, 81621 CATEGORIES:Adults Only ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://aspenout.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/pride-tacaw-basalt.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Denver:20240505T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/Denver:20240505T130000 DTSTAMP:20260418T140508 CREATED:20240313T232224Z LAST-MODIFIED:20240401T172624Z UID:10000572-1714906800-1714914000@aspenout.com SUMMARY:Drag Disco Bingo Brunch With Mariam T DESCRIPTION:CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE A TICKET TO BINGO BRUNCH\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \nIn memory of Jack Raife\, AspenOUT will partner with Headquarters to hold a fundraiser to support mental health in the valley. \nJoin our favorite clown in a gown\, your hostess with the mostest\, it’s She\, Her\, Me\, Ms. Mariam T.\, for a Drag Disco Bingo Brunch you won’t soon forget.
