Monday, September 18
Queer Day of Rest
Unwind from all the Music Midtown madness by staying home for some Netflix and self-care. We recommend a binge of NBC's comedy The Good Place and a cold glass of Pedialyte.
Tuesday, September 19
Maryoke @ Mary's
Atlanta is typically pretty quiet on Tuesday nights, unless you head out to EAV for Maryoke. Longtime emcee CJ will take good care of you as you're serenaded with classic bops ranging from Motown to Fleetwood Mac. Bring your A game, cause karaoke at Mary's is no joke! Never a cover! 10pm-2:30am
Wednesday, September 20
Queer Youth Fest - Zine Workshop @ Healium Center
Queer Youth Fest presents a hands-on workshop to learn how to craft and conceptualize your own DIY zine. Atlanta artist Melanie Anne Paulos will lead this workshop, and all zines created will be on display at this year's Queer Youth Fest. $5 suggested donation, which includes supplies and materials. 6pm-10pm

La Choloteca's One Year Anniversary @ MJQ

The Other Show @ Jungle
This weekly showcase of alternative drag and campy queens is a must-see for any Atlanta drag fan. We recommend reserving a table and ordering a basket of tots as the perfect compliment to an A+ show. Starring Edie Cheezburger, Evah Destruction, Jaye Lish, and Mini Pearl Necklace! $5; 9pm-11pm

Happening in South Downtown Atlanta, this annual event includes workshops, zines, and DIY art galore. Go down and check out all the wonderful vendors and attend a workshop or two!
