Description
After a year in lockdown, Future Front Texas (formerly Boss Babes ATX) is returning to The Line Hotel to host Swim Sessions — a four-part poolside series, celebrating PRIDE and our new name.
Come through all summer long to vibe alongside women and queer DJs from 7 to 10 PM CT on the last Thursday of each month. Every session will showcase a lineup of creative businesses homegrown in Austin—and you'll be able to catch our new art installation in hotel’s lobby, too.
Swimming is optional, masks are required and mutual respect is a must. Tickets are $10 and every cent will benefit community initiatives we care about.
Capacity is limited for your safety (and ours).
WHAT TO EXPECT AT SESSION ONE
A three-hour set by Austin-based DJ La Morena
An outdoor market featuring five artists and designers from The Front Market
An installation by multidisciplinary artist Paloma Mayorga in The Line Hotel lobby
Open-air poolside vibes
Feel free to book a discounted room at The Line Hotel that weekend by using the code GETHERE at checkout.
MEET THE DJ
Latinx Goddess and brown beauty, La Morena (@lamorena_) makes her audience travel through a series of landscapes in her eclectic DJ sets. Originally from the US-Mexico bordertown Brownsville Texas, La Morena uses her heritage and personal experiences to educate her music selection, always delivering a special blend between club, house, Latin hits and hip hop.
This series' DJs have been curated by FFTX team member Jp Rivera-Felizardo.
HOW TO ATTEND
Tickets are $10 by donation (free for FFTX members and hotel guests). Your ticket includes your pool pass. You must reserve a ticket in order to attend.
All ticket proceeds will benefit community initiatives we care about. This session's benefitting organization is Black Trans Leadership Austin, which creates better outcomes for Black trans and gender diverse people in Austin.
HOW WE'RE STAYING SAFE
Capacity will be limited to reduce crowding.
All sessions will be held in outdoor and open-air spaces.
