Miss Katie hosts an evening of shared travel stories from the queer community — the kind of tales that stick with you long after you're home. If you've got a story worth telling from your own adventures, you can share it on stage. Call the bar to get on the lineup. Free entry, no cover.

Unspeakable Joy brings together the kind of community energy that makes you remember why these spaces matter, with top-tier production and performers who know how to work a room. Saturday at 3 Dollar Bill is the kind of day party that spills into night, where joy isn't just the theme, it's the whole point.
