DOES LEATHER EVEN COME IN NEON?
Regardless, “Neon House” is the theme of the party at Eagle tonight, with DJ Alex Ramos. Felicia’s Turnabout, “Shablam in the Clam” at LIT, is a fundraiser to send Felicia to the Gay Softball World Series in Ohio. They’re playing “Drag Roulette” at the Well—that means you don’t know if the queen is going to adore you or read you to filth. Mad Hatter joins in the sing-along craze, starting at 9 p.m. with DJ Omar.
There’s a “Punking 101” workshop at Compass; back in the day, we didn’t need lessons; we just did it! Take your pride to the polls: The Dolphin Democrats are at the Pride Center offering endorsements and answering your questions.

“THAT’S WHAT COMES FROM TOO MUCH PILLS AND LIQUOR…”
“YOU BROUGHT HER, YOU LICK HER!”
LIT is adding a “Talk Back” to its Show Tunes night with Ralphi the Singing Bartender. It’s a “Rocky Horror” approach—very popular and quite famous at Chicago’s Sidetrack bar. Hunters’ “Confessions Birthday Takeover” offers all sorts of Madonna Magic from DJ Tracy Young. At The Pub, it’s a Drag Brunch and Turnabout for the bar’s softball team’s trip to the World Series, hosted by Velvet Lenore. Ramrod has both the Tea Bag Tea Dance and an enforced dress code going on today.
