July Meeting: The Little Gay Book Club

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 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.

Join a thoughtful discussion of Marjan Kamali's The Lion Women of Tehran, a sweeping novel that traces three generations of women navigating love, ambition, and identity in Iran. This book group gathering at BookWoman is for readers who want to dig into the story together—share what moved you, what surprised you, and what stuck with you. A chance to connect with other readers who care about queer and feminist voices in literature.

LaTesha Harris hosts an evening celebrating queer masculinity and literature at BookWoman. Explore conversations around identity, community, and the stories that matter — the kind of gathering that reminds you why independent bookstores are where real conversations happen.
