    Austin Gay Men’s Chorus Presents Shake the Rafters

    An early choral congratulations for having the taste to pick the gayest tunesters in Austin for your hearing pleasure. Bringing what they’ve called “a full-spectrum extravaganza of emotion, community, and vocal cords working overtime in the best way possible” – emojis removed to protect our Chron designers’ font sensibilities – the Austin Gay Men’s Chorus features modern songs from the likes of Harry Styles, Sam Smith, and the Beatles. (Look, at least two of them are alive so that counts as modern.) Snag your tix for Saturday or Sunday and get ready to watch those rafters, you know. Shake. – James Scott

    Shinjuku Boys (1995)

    WLV’s monthly queer movie meetup SunGays celebrates AANHPI Heritage Month with this Japanese doc about three trans-masculine hosts at Tokyo’s New Marilyn Club. Released in the mid-Nineties to posi reception – including an Outstanding Documentary win from the San Francisco Gay and Lesbian Film Festival – the film focuses on the self-referenced “onabe” and their experience with romantic and familial relationships and gender presentation. A good watch for the Ouran High School Host Club fan who wants to understand real queered host club dynamics – or anyone who enjoys hot trans guys. Guilty! – James Scott

    The Wayward Vampire

    Adventurers in parties big and small (six people being the comfortable limit) are invited to join in this newest quest at LARP legend the Tiny Minotaur. At $45 per person, the quest runs about 90 minutes with complimentary snacks and a bevvie included for all the 21-and-above aged participants. From the Minotaur themselves: “It appears the Holy Circlet has sent an ill-experienced Cleric to the Rift to investigate and they are seeking the help of some Adventurers at the Tiny Minotaur! Will you and your party be able to help your new Cleric companion return to the Holy Circlet as a Hero or will you all perish on a mission ill-fated from the start?!” – James Scott
