Ask the nearest queer person where the best lesbian bar is in Austin, and you'll get a seemingly endless stream of "R.I.P." statements about days gone by. Enter Where the Girls Go, a collective of queer promoters and DJs who, two years ago, started the roving Guerrilla Queer Bar, a "trans-positive, all-gender-inclusive, anti-isms/ists, pro-makeout affair" that swoops in on different bars all over town. The vibe is always chill, and the pop-up nature keeps anything from getting too clique-ish. Think of it as a once-a-month rowboat ride under a sparkling willow tree. Go on. Kiss the girl.
