The Queens
This Saturday at 7:00, the Oakland Center for the Arts is holding its annual Next Top Drag Queen competition and Chinese Auction fundraiser. I just helped Brooke put together the baskets for the auction (she did much, much more work than I did), and there are some fabulous items up for grabs including original sculpture, jewelry, pottery and glassware from local artists. You might also pick up a couple of massages, some great food baskets, YSU goodies, and if you’re into it, a whole lotta scrunchies. Tickets are fifteen bucks. Call the O for reservations. The wine and cheese reception and auction begin at 7:00, and the show starts at 8:00. Visit the O’s myspace page for more information.
The Skyscraper
Also, downtown’s historic Stambaugh building needs some TLC. Read Tyler Clark’s thoughtful and informative Vindy blog. YO recovery begins with respecting our history, and the Stambaugh building is an important part of that history. Please, if you’re a believer (and you should be) sign the online petition (linked at the end of Tyler’s blog); it only takes a minute, and many people are doing a lot more. It takes a village, people!
