The Pickup Announces “John Paul Brammer In Person,” An Event Where You Can See John Paul Brammer In Person

And Pickup subscribers get free tickets!

12:05 PM CST on December 10, 2025

After years of putting together lists of Tulsa's best events, we thought we’d take a shot at putting on Tulsa’s best event ourselves.

John Paul Brammer, writer, Pickup contributor, advice columnist, once-Okie, and Brooklyn coffee shop traveloguer, has agreed to meet us at Chimera Ballroom and read from his forthcoming book, “Reverse Cowboy.” The reading will be followed by a conversation about everything from making a career out of your hilarious Grindr stories to what it means to be an Okie ex-pat. Pickup subscribers get free tickets to this event!
