Yes, the October Monsoon Season has started in Seattle but we’re strong hardy people who can brave the elements in our quests for evening fun involving booze, drag queens, go go boys/girls, cinema, live performance or just sucking on some tasty frosty milkshakes at Dicks!
Among the highlights for Friday, October 18th are the continuing screenings at the Seattle Queer Film Festival, plus the continued celebrations at Queer Bar during their Birthday Month with tonight’s special appearance by RPDR star Shea Couleé . There’s also Latinx fun with “Joteria” plus The Shirtless Violinist and some terrific theater options.
