Labor Day is right around the corner! That means the clock is ticking and we’re running out of long, hot summer days and cool summer nights. Make sure you make the most of it!
Levitate Philly
Make the trek over to Old City at 9 p.m. Aug. 16 and head for Fire & Ice, 312 Market St., for Levitate Philly’s late-night dance party with live performances and an art auction built around the theme of equality.
Get there early for free appetizers, and stay late because they’ll have drink specials all night long. Cover charge is only $10, but you can RSVP on their Facebook page for a $5 discount! Proceeds will benefit Equality PA and The Attic Youth Center.
Ladies 2000 at Havana
Head up river from 4-9 p.m. Aug. 18 and meet all your girlfriends at Havana, 105 S. Main St. in New Hope. They’ll have their signature buffet, your favorite DJ Steve Singer spinning the tunes and drink specials well into the night. What better way to spend a lazy summer Sunday evening?
Naked Yoga Philly
Like yoga? Like doing yoga naked? What do you mean you haven’t tried it yet? Find out what you’re missing at 7 p.m. Aug. 26 at a convenient central Gayborhood location. The class is low-impact and led by an instructor who knows how to tailor things for all skill levels.
The class fee is based on a sliding scale, so check out www.nakedyogaphilly.com for more information and to register. You’ll receive the address in your registration confirmation. And sorry ladies, this event is strictly for men only (you don’t really want to be around all those sweaty balls, do you?).
Fall Ball Kick Off
Speaking of balls, it’s almost time for the City of Brotherly Love Softball League’s fall season of slow-pitch softball. Be there for the kick off from 8-10 p.m. Aug. 23 at Tabu, 200 S. 12th St. All levels of play and all genders and ages are welcome. For more information, see www.cblsl.org.
Jinkx Monsoon in The Vaudevillians
This show is one-night-only and you can’t afford to miss it! Doors open at 9 p.m. Aug. 23 at Voyeur Nightclub, 1221 St. James St.
Catch “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season-five winner Jinkx Monsoon and co-star Major Scales hot off the extended New York City engagement of their hilarious musical comedy show. The concept is simple: Frozen in the Antarctic since the 1920s, Kitty Witless and Dr. Dan Von Dandy have recently thawed out and were shocked to discover that pop stars throughout the years have been stealing their music! Hear the “original” arrangements of classics like “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and “Drop It Like It’s Hot.”
Simple, right? Tickets are $20 for general admission or $40 for a VIP meet and greet.
Bingo-a-Go-Go
Get your daubers and good-luck troll dolls ready, because you’ll need them from 6-9 p.m. Aug. 24 at the Delaware City Community Center, 250 Fifth St. in Delaware City, Del. The theme this month is Hula Luau and your host will be Jack Daniels, but the beneficiary is the same — Delaware’s annual LGBT Pride Festival. Cover charge is $18 in advance or $20 at the door. See www.delawarepride.org for more information and advance ticket sales.
Gayborhood Goes to Rehoboth
If you haven’t started planning your Labor Day weekend and you need a ride to the Delaware beach, then you’re in luck! The Liberty City Social Club is running a party bus down to Rehoboth that departs Philly at 6 p.m. Aug. 30 at Tabu, 200 S. 12th St.
What you do once you get there is up to you; just make sure you’re ready when the bus departs Rehoboth at 5 p.m. Sept. 2 from the boardwalk at Rehoboth Avenue. Tickets are $65 each, which is a great deal, especially since it includes snacks, cups and ice so you can enjoy your BYOB beverages and leave the driving to them!
Seats are first come, first serve, so register today at www.rehoboth-bus.eventbrite.com.
