Gay Place: Where The Girls Go

Where The Girls Go

... is a summery name, slightly reminiscent of fidgety, Gidget-y Sixties movies where babes go find boys at the beach. Now take that and twist it all 2014 queer-styley, where "girl" is free to mean "grrrrrl" or "ooh, girl!" and everything in-between. Where the Girls Go/ATX is the Southern spawn of a Washington, D.C., dance party that used to be co-thrown by D.C. party gal Sarah Marloff. She's a "Gay Place"-er now, a bona fide Austinite. Each Friday on the Gay Place online, Sarah recos the weekend's best bets for queer fun. This week, she's throwing a party of her own (see Thursday).
