VIP AND PAID TICKETS ARE NOW CLOSED. GENERAL ADMISSION WILL STAY OPEN, AND WE WILL ADD FOLKS TO THE BACK OF THE LINE UNTIL WE RUN OUT OF TIME.
Tubby & Coo’s Book Shop is SO pleased to welcome TikTok sensation Mercury Stardust, AKA The Trans Handy Ma’am, for a meet and greet to celebrate her new book, Safe and Sound. Come out to meet Mercury in person!
The meet and greet will take place on Saturday, November 11 beginning at 6PM at HI-BALLZ, a queer-owned vegan restaurant who will have a special menu for the event! HI-BALLZ is located at 4901 Canal St.
This event is TICKETED, and you can purchase tickets below. We have an option that includes the book and one that does not if you already preordered your copy and want to come get it signed. We also have a third General Admission option that is free, however, the free option does not guarantee you a place in line.
The line will be managed as follows: folks who purchase a ticket with the book will be first, followed by those who purchase a book signing ticket without the book, followed by general admission. Again, your spot in line is not guaranteed with a General Admission ticket. However, you must reserve a ticket to get a chance to meet Mercury. This means that if you purchase a ticket, and you’re bringing friends & family and you want to guarantee they get in with you, they also must purchase a ticket. Otherwise, they will be placed into General Admission and not guaranteed a spot in line.
We will schedule attendees into groups to attend the signing, so if you want to come with your friends or family, each person will need their own ticket, and you’ll need to note the names in your group in the order notes. When you get to the final check out page, at the bottom there is an “Order Notes” field. Please indicate in that field the names of the folks in your group.
Please note Tubby & Coo’s has a zero tolerance policy for harassment or intimidation of any kind during our events.

About Safe and Sound
Don’t panic—Mercury Stardust, AKA The Trans Handy Ma’am is here to help!
For too many people, the simple act of contacting a plumber or repair person can feel like a game of chance. As a transwoman and a professional maintenance technician, Mercury Stardust has discovered (the hard way) that we live in a world with much to fear. If you’ve ever felt panicked about opening your home to strangers in order to fix a maintenance issue, this book is for you.
Renting a home can be a complex process—from finding a safe and affordable space, to hiring help for moving in and out, and of course, managing any repairs that come up during your stay.
You deserve to feel empowered to take matters into your own hands—and it’s not as hard as you might think. In this book, Mercury will show you how to tackle the projects that need improvement in your home—from how to properly fix a clog in your bathroom sink and safely hang things on your walls to patching small and medium drywall holes.
Safe and Sound includes:
- Guidance for over 50 simple home maintenance projects, such as replacing your showerhead and troubleshooting a faulty garbage disposal.
- Chapters covering basic and handy repairs for your plumbing, electrical, carpentry, and safety needs.
- Advice tailored to renters to minimize permanent changes.
- Helpful illustrations and QR code links to videos to help you on your journey.
Remember—a little bit of knowledge can go a long way toward making you feel more safe and in control of your own life.
