* UPCOMING:
-SAT & SUN MARCH 26-27: TRANNYSHACK RENO (Thanks, Ggreg.com!) <<Thank goodness booze fueled hooliganism never goes out of style. Trannyshack Reno heads out to the Biggest Little City Easter weekend per usual, with a crazed crew of fools on charter busses. Traveling in a large gang of similarly inclined souls is always a blast, especially when it involves being out of context and in a wig. The bus is actually really amusing, at least on the ride up before it ends up smelling like the inside of a neglected keg. In Reno Heklina and Peaches Christ are throwing their annual show at the latest dive bar they've rustled up. The charter bus, hotel and show are only $110, which is a steal for this much fun. The Saturday show is at the 1099 Club in Reno, 1099 South Virginia Street. Contact Peaches Christ if you're interest riding on one of the plush coaches.>> $110 for the trip, or $5 just for the show; www.Ggreg.com
-SUNDAY MARCH 27: BUNNY JAM (Thanks, Ggreg.com!) <<This is one of the best parties of the year. Hands down, so prepare to be bombarded with enticements and invitations for the fifth incarnation of this wacky, wacky, wacky great event. Imagine a party attended by roughly 600 people. ALL of them but about six out-of-place lost souls in bunny-themed outfits dancing to Christian children's music, while off their nut. Bunny Jam is FANTASTIC, one of my highest recommendations of the year, so get your hot glue gun fired up and start bunnifying. More information soon, orcheck the Bunnyjam web site.>> 8 pm til LATE; $10 FullonBunny, $15 SumBunny, $20 UnBunny; www.Ggreg.com

* UPCOMING:
-SAT & SUN MARCH 26-27: TRANNYSHACK RENO (Thanks, Ggreg.com!) <<Thank goodness booze fueled hooliganism never goes out of style. Trannyshack Reno heads out to the Biggest Little City Easter weekend per usual, with a crazed crew of fools on charter busses. Traveling in a large gang of similarly inclined souls is always a blast, especially when it involves being out of context and in a wig. The bus is actually really amusing, at least on the ride up before it ends up smelling like the inside of a neglected keg. In Reno Heklina and Peaches Christ are throwing their annual show at the latest dive bar they've rustled up. The charter bus, hotel and show are only $110, which is a steal for this much fun. The Saturday show is at the 1099 Club in Reno, 1099 South Virginia Street. Contact Peaches Christ if you're interest riding on one of the plush coaches.>> $110 for the trip, or $5 just for the show; www.Ggreg.com
-SUNDAY MARCH 27: BUNNY JAM (Thanks, Ggreg.com!) <<This is one of the best parties of the year. Hands down, so prepare to be bombarded with enticements and invitations for the fifth incarnation of this wacky, wacky, wacky great event. Imagine a party attended by roughly 600 people. ALL of them but about six out-of-place lost souls in bunny-themed outfits dancing to Christian children's music, while off their nut. Bunny Jam is FANTASTIC, one of my highest recommendations of the year, so get your hot glue gun fired up and start bunnifying. More information soon, orcheck the Bunnyjam web site.>> 8 pm til LATE; $10 FullonBunny, $15 SumBunny, $20 UnBunny; www.Ggreg.com
