Queer Bar Review! Oil Can Harrys! October 18, 2007

Dear OUTLaw,

It seems a dark and dreary pallor has descended on Southern California. As I left my apartment Monday morning, feeling sprinkling rain and the ravages of sub-65-degree temperatures (aka "shorts weather" in the East), all the while cursing myself for not wearing a scarf and gloves ("for sissies," my brother would say), I thought: this town needs a pick-me-up.

That pick-me-up dawned on me as though by Divine intervention. Of course you know I'm speaking of Divine, the late star of John Waters films, may she rest in fabulous peace--not that other kind of intervention. But I digress. I managed to gird myself against the grayness of the morningby keeping one thought in mind.

This Thursday, the third Thursday of the month, is Queer Bar Review.

Our chance to bring a little rainbow-flavored sunshine to this otherwise bleak October week. But not just any queer barwill do. No, for grayness and foul weather this bad, in contrast to so many uninterrupted weeks of meteorological splendor, we need to pull out all thestops. The Abbey? Please. 11? Amateur hour. We're going to the valley, my friends.

Oil Can Harry's hosts LA's only gay and lesbian country line dancing extravaganza each and every Thursday. One need not dance to enjoy the fun. Just sit back, sip a beer, and watch the spectacle unfold, because you haven't lived until you've seen out-of-work actors do the grapevine to Madonna shit from the 80s. Those arriving before 9pm will have the opportunity to participate in a free line dancing lesson. I assure a good time, even for those of us who don't know a mambo step froma Monterey turn.
