Friday’s Choice: Trekking To (GASP!) Ballard For A “Gender Bendy” Fundraiser

April 10, 2015• byMichael Strangeways

GenderBenderApril

For the lazy and Capitol Hill-centric, there IS more to gay life in Seedle than that dreary, gentrified, embattled but endearingly over-priced Hill. There’s also…

BALLARD!!!

Yes…BALLARD, home of Scandies, and fish, and nesting lesbian couples, (Hi Pam & Kerri!) and a very similar amount of dreary gentrification. It’s a lot like Capitol Hill just flatter and colder.

It’s also home to a still cool divey, live music venue, The Sunset and tonight, (Friday, April 10, 2015) the site of a fun, queer-centric fundraiser benefiting the kids at Lambert House. Five cool local bands are dressing in drag and performing from 8pm on to the wee wee hours. Here’s the FB poo:

FunkFarm Presents: The GENDER BENDER
A Benefit for Lambert House feat:
The Mama Rags
Duke Evers
The Dee Dees
Trick Candles
Acid Tongue
“Lambert House is a center for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgender and Questioning youth that empowers youth through the development of leadership, social and life skills.”

All bands will be going drag for this event, and attendees are encouraged to do the same. Let’s bend some gender.

It’s a delightful opportunity to leave the streets of Capitol Hill  that bustle with the crowds of yokels from Bellevue, to schlep over to chilly, grey Ballard and hang out on their greasy streets that bustle with crowds of yokels from Kirkland.
As a Robosexual lover, we also enjoy that poster.

About the Author: Michael Strangeways

As the Editorial Director/Co-Owner, Michael Strangeways writes, edits and does about a million other jobs for Seattle Gay Scene, Puget Sound's most visited LGBTQ news, arts and entertainment website now celebrating its 14th year as a media outlet. A semi-proud Midwesterner by birth, he's lived in Seattle since 2000. He's also a film producer who would like you to check out the Jinkx Monsoon documentary, "Drag Becomes Him" now available on Amazon.com. In his spare time, he gets slightly obsessive about his love for old movies, challenging theater, "otters", vodka, chocolate, "I,Claudius", Lizzie Borden, real books made out of paper, disaster films, show tunes, Weimar era Germany, flea markets, pop surrealistic art, the sex lives of Hollywood actors both living and dead, kitties, chicken fried steak, haute couture and David Bowie. But, not necessarily in that order.
