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.

CINCY GAY SCENE: Oxford Show, 10-11-08, was...

CINCY GAY SCENE: HRC Boy Blogs About Us

The HRC boy staying with me posted a blog about his time here in Cincinnati on the HRCBackStory Blog:

I arrived in Cincinnati on Wednesday, July 2 and began signing people up to attend Camp Equality™. I have spoken with many engaged and passionate individuals in the city and am happy to report that, as of the Fourth, close to twenty people have signed on to participate in the training program. I met with Cincinnati HRC Steering Committee members Aaron Weiner, Janya Johnson and volunteers Ron Hirth, Steve Similie. I also got together with Dan Drent, vice-president of Equality Cincinnati. Everyone within these organizations is excited about the benefits of Camp Equality™ in equipping Cincinnatians with the skills to push for change and bring about equality.

How Sweet :-).

UPDATE: Actually, I'm told, he did not write it at all but was ghost written by Cincy's own Jason B., referenced more regularly here as Anita Sativa. I thought the writing style sounded familiar.

CINCY GAY SCENE: Oxford, Season 5, Ends

April 11th, 2008 saw the end of the fifth season of the Oxford show. I started this crazy shit five years ago, above and beyond the better judgment of my organization (Spectrum), and it's grown into this crazy exciting and wonderful thing that now involves so many talented and wonderful people, some of whom I fight with and some of whom do my bidding. :-) But somehow, we manage to pull off an amazing show that makes everyone happy and ends up being one of the best things going in town -- and one of the few things I know for sure I've done right in my life.

We raised $2500 for Equality Ohio's educational PAC, via the ISQCCBE!!!!! Guess what? That means we raised over $10,000 for charity in this season!!!! That's huge!!!!

Thank you to everyone for all the support! And thanks to everyone who came to see it, and especially thanks to everyone who performed. All -- all -- of you are amazing!

And now for some pictures!
