TUEZGAYZ - FIRST OF 2026

The Little Gay Book Club gathers monthly to talk books, build community, and celebrate queer voices in literature. Whether you're a voracious reader or just looking for a reason to connect with other book lovers, Saturday mornings at the shop are low-pressure and genuinely welcoming. Come for the discussion, stay for the people.

The third Sunday of every month, Neon Grotto's rooftop becomes a rotating DJ booth where anyone with a USB and headphones can spin. Twenty-minute slots, random draw, all house/latin/reggaeton/disco and open format welcome. It's the kind of low-pressure, community-minded night that reminds you why Austin's DJ scene is actually thriving — no gatekeeping, just people who love music getting their turn behind the decks.

An intimate conversation about healing and resilience with Pamela Ferguson, exploring personal and collective experiences of trauma recovery. This is the kind of honest, grounded discussion that reminds us why community spaces matter — a chance to listen, learn, and recognize that the path through PTSD and PTSI looks different for everyone, and that's okay.

Claire St. Amant brings her sharp storytelling and dark humor to BookWoman for an evening of true crime that's equal parts fascinating and funny. Expect the kind of deep dives into real cases that remind you why some stories are too wild to make up — and why the people who tell them well deserve your attention.

A celebration of butch identity and community — part pageant, part prom, all heart. This is the night butches get to be the main character, competing for the crown while the community cheers them on. Expect charisma, authenticity, and a room full of people who get what it means to take up space exactly as you are.

A rooftop day party celebrating deep, melodic, and progressive house with rising Boston talent Cloudcage making their Texas debut, backed by local legends Vertical Circles. Free entry, 21+, 4-8pm on the Neon Grotto rooftop—the perfect summer Sunday for house music lovers in Austin.
