NKU -- over $500 for GLSEN and the National Kidney Foundation (via Phi Sigma Sigma Foundation)

Miami -- over $1600 for the American Cancer Society, in honor of Doug Feld

Congratulations to both shows!

Oxford Drag Show Success




Thanks to all who came out! Money is still being counted for the American Cancer Society, but it was a great turnout!

Thanks, again, to Oxford and Balcony Bar! Great job to Spectrum!

COMMUNITY EVENTS: College Drag Shows

Two are coming up that I know of -- I think I missed one back there somewhere, too (UC?). Give me a heads up if your college/university is having a drag show or similar event so that we can get the word out.



NKU will be hosting a drag show! From their Facebook event:

This Semesters Drag Show is going to be amazing not only is this going to be a fun event, its also going to raise money for two great causes and it is also an educational event. This is something you wont want to miss. we are very excited to have the panhellenic council backing us up this semester.

$2 donation will be taken at the door to enter
It will be on campus -- at the U.C. (University Center) -- from 7:00pm until 9:00pm on Friday April 17th.

Miami University's show returns for the fourth show of the season! This show, which began almost 6 years ago, has four shows a school year and regularly raises upwards of $10,000 a season for charity. The show will show off the talent of predominately local queens -- including the rising star in Cincinnati known as Vivica LaCroix, as well as the return of Anita Sativa ... and, of course, yours truly (Kristy Kay Karolina). It will be on Friday, April 17th from 10:30pm onwards at the Balcony Bar in Uptown Oxford. The money raised will be going to the American Cancer Society in honor of Doug Feld, long time friend of the show.

Check out their Facebook event, as well.

I'm actually kinda pissed they are on the same night -- there are those of us who would like to go to both. It would actually be technically possible to do both by going to the NKU hsow and then arriving at the MU bar by 10:30pm in time for the next show to start.

But, I suppose they aren't going after the same crowd and are mostly localized events.

Honoring a Friend

In honor of Doug Feld, Spectrum (Miami University's LGBTQI student organization) has decided to use the April drag show in Oxford as a fundraiser for the American Cancer Society, per the family's wishes to honor him.

April 17th, 10:30pm, Balcony Bar in Uptown Oxford 
(I believe that's all correct)

I'm sure you'll get a text from me about this. Jeffery -- I'm going to see how long it takes before you read this because I'm kind of sadistic, but, mostly, I need to go to bed, and I'll call you tonight.

After all, I've asked to be able to talk about Jeff and Doug... oh, and do a number.
