I mean damn. There is just too much. Yes, Halloween is an unrecognized national gay holiday and is in a striking position to kill us all. Hell after I post this blog, there's not a chance of me being sober til next Tuesday. So with all the faggotry being thrown at you, CampusQueer is here to organize the events in succession. You will have to make a choice. That choice will be up to your designated driver. Personally, I just go where I'm told and pass out where I want. I hope you've got a plethora of costumes in stock or enough friends that won't ever see you in the same one twice. Until they see photos of Facebook, but by then you've duped them all and drank their alcohol. And here we go!

No One Mourns the Wicked - House party on 21st Ave. hosted by Tripp Gustin, Michael Dewar, Jonathan Alexander Duchock, Jessie Protz and Lauren Williams. Seems to be a big event, younger people, but I worry about opportunities for cop busts since there is such a huge guest list. Keg, hunchpunch, etch. all for a variety of prices (which is awful complex to me, just set a flat rate.)


HalloQueen 2010 - Where CampusQueer will be starting the night! At the L&N Train Station downtown, hosted by the Mystic Krewe of Druids to benefit the West Alabama AIDS Outreach. Party for a cause. Fabulous people and over $2000 in prizes for costumes including $300 for best costume of the night. Your $10 at the door gets you in and goes to a great cause and theres a full bar inside. Older crowd, but very open to us babies. 


Friday Night G-Spot - Hosted by Genesis with special guests Bambi Kira and THE Regine Philips from Pensacola who always comes ready to turn it out. Costumes of all types are always welcome at Icon (I would know) but tomorrow is not their true Hallow's Eve celebration. That is Saturday. And you never know who you might see show up at Icon. $5 Over / $10 Under. 


The Rocky Horror Drag Show at Joe's - If you're in B'ham, Joe's on Seventh will be hosting an after-party for the Rocky Horror Picture Show which is showing at the Alabama Theatre. Free admission with your ticket from the show. Huge drag show and masquerade ball at 11. "It's just a step to the left." Without a ticket, $5 Over / $8 Under






Halloween Weekend at Icon - Saturday is the night for festivities at Icon. Costume contest at midnight hosted by the Demon Goddess, Genesis. You can rack up some major bar tabs to get you wasted and ensure your costume comes off by the end of the night. $5 Over / $10 Under


Halloween Benefit Bash - I have to hand it to Paul Dease and the Magic City Choral Society, they are just a fantastic organization in Birmingham; pulling together some great benefits this year for various HIV/AIDS organizations. And this event is sure to be the place to be seen this gay Halloween season. Start the evening early at Avondale Castle, with drinks pouring freely and special entertainers along the way. Requested $20 donation. Official after-party at Our Place lounge.


Monster's Ball at Joe's - Another Magic City affair. Joe's on Seventh will be having the Monster's Ball (get it? mhm.) with cash and prizes for their costume contest of course. Party gets going around 11pm with they call a "spook-tacular show." $5 Over / $8 Under


























Happy Halloween Show at Joe's - Go out to Joe's for their usual Sunday cabaret with a haunting twist. Freshly crowned Miss Apollo, Felicity performs with special guests all night. Show starts at 8!

Final Performance of Secret Garden - Slow things down and go see the final performance of Theatre Tuscaloosa presents The Secret Garden. A haunting show of its own kind with beautiful music and an excellent cast. I've done this show before and will tell you its a little on the downer side, but worth the amazing music. Close the show with them and still have time to get your crazy on later in the evening. Take the link to order tickets immediately!

Other than that I'm not sure. Maybe just set up for possible trick-or-treaters? You know how disappointing it was when doors didn't have their lights on as you traipsed entire neighborhoods, scavenging for welcoming stoops. Or go to Quest and be a mess. Hell, run your ass down to New Orleans or over to Atlanta for some hot tranny mess! Whatever you do, be safe. I'm not exactly the one to be preaching that, but still. Don't die. And now for a special message brought to you by Chloe Sevigny.








Over and Out,
CampusQueer
