Friday 8/6

RAPTURE

This big gay weekend is crammed with delicious gayness. It’ll be a challenge to cram it all in. Persevere! I have utter faith your cramming-in skills. It begins with DJ Skiddle, King of the Drive at 5™, spinning Rapture at the Wildrose! He’s my new favoritest DJ, this is a new thing, and it’s the thing to do first. Come early. Lubricate liberally! It’s gonna be a busy night. Wildrose, 9 pm, free, 21+.

FETISH NIGHT

It’s alive! The legendary Club Vogue! And not in the mists of gothy memory, but in the mists of gothy now. It’s risen from the dead (Voldemort!) and lives in a mythic land called “Neighbours Underground.” (Never been.) Friday is “Sin-O-Matic,” a gothic-rubber-lingerie-PVC-latex-leather fetish night! (No one speaks of gothic-rubber-lingerie-PVC-latex-leather fetish nights anymore, and that saddens me.) Excited! Neighbours Underground, 9 pm/arrive around 10:26 pm, $7, 21+.

FRINGE PRESENTS: La Fraicheur

Then get thee hence to the Eagle for superstar French DJ La Fraicheur, fresh in from gay Paris just to “oui, oui!” all over your eardrums. Go-go boys and naughty toys! You’re encouraged to “look gooood.” The Eagle, 9 pm, $5, 21+.

Saturday 8/7

Practically Nude Softball
PlayERs

My baseball-player fetish is filthy, wrong, and widely published. There’s no sense pestering me about it! And softballers? They’re exactly the same as hardballers, only raging bottoms. (Every damn one. Google that shit.) And a whole mess of them are so hard up for cash that they are shedding almost all of their clothes in order to delight my genitals and rake in some Benjamins! (Those mandatory tiaras they wear cost dollar, gurl.) It’s an underwear party! Warning! Gaysha Star is hosting! Which is totally not my fucking fault. (Clothes check provided for the truly whoreish. Whom I salute. With my penis.) The Lobby Bar, 7 pm, $5, 21+.

STUDIO 54 BACON STRIP

This shit never gets old. Plus! Seattle’s Newest Greatest Drag Personae™, Ade, is busting out a brand-new mashed-up disco extravaganza featuring eight hot dancers! Thrill! Re-bar, 10 pm, $8 in theme costume/$10, 21+.
