Created and hosted by San Marcos-to-Austin-commuters Kino Kino and Gender Destruction, this open-mic night invites all ages to bring their art to the stage. Poetry, drag, singing, and more: It’s all welcome at this monthly queer-soul healing. July’s theme is Inner Child: Consider what would bring the younger you joy, and integrate the answer into whatever you perform. This show’s hosted at San Marcos’ local caffeine slingers Wake the Dead, located in a “[funky] Tim Burton-esque house.” Grab one of their over 55 beer selections, a specialty espresso, a smoothie, or a tasty pastry treat before settling in for a sweet Sana Sana show. – James Scott
