THOT TOPIC: Taking Back Sunday Brunch
GET YOUR OUTFITS READY!
A drag brunch full of sing alongs and scream alongs featuring some of the Bay's most committed performers of 90s and 2000s emo, nu metal, punk, and indie genres.
Letting it out and reminiscing old styles, hairlines, art, poetry, message boards, and possibly a LiveJournal is healthy. It's good for our mental health.
Sunday, July 12
12-230pm
Fluid510 (1544 Broadway, Oakland)
Doors at 12pm. Show begins at 1230pm. Show ends at 230pm and we'll have to clear it out promptly.

The 2026 BOSS Pass
It's here — one card that covers all BOSS Idea House event tickets in the issue period, for a single donation of $125.
- This means you don't have to obtain new tickets for each event.
- Good for the entire period through December 31 2026.
- Each card will be numbered; a limited supply of 25 cards will be issued.
- Must present the physical card when you arrive at each event.
- If you can't make it to any event, you can share the card with a friend (we will record the card number, so it cannot be used by multiple people at a single event).
- More questions? DM us on Instagram for all terms: @boss.ideahouse
This card is our way of showing gratitude for our supporters, offering an easy way to access our ticketed events, and to help us raise funds to build a sustainable organization into the future.
Donate now and then pick it up at any BOSS Idea House event (free events or ticketed event).

Pay it Forward for Community
Each event costs us from $400 to $1,000. We pay our performers a minimum of $200 per gig — more than many venues and promoters. And we want to support transit, food, education, and other basic needs while keeping our suggested donations low. When you give, you allow someone else to take part in a space of community, culture, and joy.
