Y2K Exits Stage Left & Turito Enters the Scene

A few years ago, some friends and I headed to Cheer Up Charlies for a Dorian Electra show. We got drunk, danced, and I saw for the first time the artist formerly known as Y2K – an electronica-wielding cyber queen blasting bops that made my beer-addled brain simmer.

Austin’s queer community has gotten used to the fluidity of actual spaces, having lost many places over the years to the city’s rising costs and opportunistic developers.

Reverie Books Opens a New Chapter for the Community

In September of last year, Thais Perkins took a chance. She admits the chance was taken not for financial gain but instead a risk for passion, for community, and for healing. A year and a month later, that chance – Reverie Books, Best of Austin winner for Best Tiny Bookshop – finally gets its well-due grand opening all day Saturday.
