Despite skipping the first, straight-specific edition of this blind-date business, I come bearing details about Austin Indie Book Fair’s new singles mixer on its more important night: LGBTQ Night. Unattached parties can meet friends, lovers, or just a good book at this color-coded speed-dating game, where green means go and red means “eh, I’m just here for non-romantic fun.” Book vendors line the Radio/East locale, and you’ll also be able to sip one of their myriad drinkables. Plus: Single Mingle Bingo, where it’s all about finding folks who match each square. – James Scott
