Lovers of books seeking same, hie thee to this speed dating night hosted by Austin Indie Book Fair. You’ll want to get your ticket in advance ($25, or about the price of a brand-new hardback), and you’ll want to do it fast: Only 15 tickets for women and 15 tickets for men are available for this intimate mixer. (Note: The Eventbrite page puts the age range at “21-40ish”.) If straight doesn’t tick your box, hold tight: Austin Indie Book Fair also hosts an LGBTQ mixer Aug. 20 and a trans & non-binary social Aug. 27, both at Radio/East. – Kimberley Jones
