Our Night Out and Queers on the Avenue joined forces Aug. 18 for their monthly social-networking events, this time held at Stogie Joe’s Tavern in South Philadelphia. Perry Monastero, who has headed ONO since its creation nine years ago, estimated the joint venture brought in at least 200 people, with many unable to squeeze into the packed venue. The event marked the final ONO organized by Monastero, who’s passing the torch to a 12-member committee to be led by Paul Grossman. “It was a really nice sendoff,” Monastero said. Photo: Scott Drake
