Come one, come all, to Austin's trans-media fest full of wonderful wackadoos and quintessential queeriosities from the most marvelous magic-makers. The
five-day extravaganza kicks off Wednesday at 7pm with the opening night performance of Our Future Ends, followed by a party with Ah-Mer-Ah-Su and Krudxs Cubensi. Thursday starts bright and early with the first 11am Conference on the Couch before returning to the Vortex at 6pm for several features, including M. Lamar's "American Cuck." (Laverne Cox's twin!) Couch dialogues run through Saturday, with full days Friday (catch Jesus I. Valles' play
(Un)Documents followed by this year's Legacy Award winner Phranc) and Saturday (Australia's Fringe Fest queen Betty Grumble), and the fest closes Sunday night with a queer ode to Janet Jackson. Full schedule online.
