A night dedicated to trans folks and those that love ’em? Maybe I’m biased as a T myself, but what could be better? You’ll find trans drag artists like host the Trans Era as well as Jasmania, Jenna Talia, Moxies, Sir Beau Elliot, Venus Rising, Monica Monae Davenport, and special guests Gothess Jasmine, Bobby Pudrido, and Muñekita. Oh, you want a trans DJ? Babe, they got DJ Salem Purchase. Don’t forget to bring a few dollar-bucks: There’ll be a trans makers’ market, too. – James Scott

Push the boundaries between reality and fiction at this performance of Sam Mayer’s persona poolboy00, “an experimental reality show/participatory memoir/talk show for the streaming platform Twitch and irl.” Audiences will be pulled into the Houston-born artist’s tale created from over 20 years of writing – including journals, failed plays, and a School of Rock fanfic – and asked to interact through live question and answer. Be warned, however, that nothing is as it seems in this production. – James Scott

Are you LGBTQ and a fan of Magic? Have you never picked up a card but your gay spirit yearns to build a deck? Do you reject the temptations of Yu-Gi-Oh! and its many big-haired idols? Then you may find yourself among friends at this weekly meetup of queer Magic: The Gathering players. Welcome are the dedicated, the lapsed, and the newbies these Thursday nights – even those sans cards can participate. Masks, however, are required, but they’ve got spares if you forget yours at home. – James Scott

I’ve analyzed the projections and looked at all the research: My conclusion is rock solid. Yes, I’ve concluded that this Thursday night on Fourth Street will be a riot … for Riot Fair, that is. Tear down the house with host Riot Girl, cast members Titty Androgynous & Venus Rising, and DJ Ruby Knight. Their drag spectacular will shock white streaks in your hair, spin your chair, and make you shout – as will the nice early start time of 8:30pm. Look, sometimes you need to riot responsibly on a school night! – James Scott

Oh, the Boyz: They are back and have brought the spirit of Nineties scung with ’em. Whether you chose the bad boys of the brass section or the boys who’ve been brought back to life, the local gender-diverse drag troupe’s array of performances will highlight however you pick it up, pick it up. Worried about all that black hair dye wafting harsh chemicals into the air? Fear not: Local air purifier providers Clear the Air, who’ve made it their mission to “[create] access to cleaner air for artists, musicians, and organizers in the Austin area,” will be keeping you from getting down with the sickness. You know, the one that starts with C and never actually ends? – James Scott

Think less folklore, and more Fearless for this occasion as DJ Boi Orbison is treatin’ y’all to “cowgirl country, remixes and yeehaw sing-alongs of the early 2000s to keep your boots scootin’ and Sparks Flyin’.” This night marks a new party series from the creator of Neon Rainbows and Middle School Dance Party, focused on Aughts-era honky-tonking. RSVP ahead of 10:30pm on Thursday, and you’ll be able to skip that $5 cover. “Baby, just say yes.” – James Scott

Alice Express hosts this gaymer's delight, with Super Smash Bros tournies, Mario Kart battles, VR areas, and more.

Life's a dream when you join Cupcake, Noodles, Mandy Quinn, Lotion, DJ Ruby Knight and their weekly special guests for Kream.
