Headliner Jackie Beat

The sidewalks of Downtown Mpls are about to get the work out of their life as 100 Drag queens (in gravity defying pumps) descend on the Epic event center for Golden GRRRLS on  Friday, June 3. 


This party will set a Guinness World Record for Most Drag Performers in a Single Performance. An Adjudicator from Guinness World Records will be on hand to validate this event.  (I think we'll be holding on to our crown as "gayest city in America,"  sorry San Fran)

Wilde Roast Cafe's new location


Some people have had concerns about Wilde Roast Cafe's new location.  After we had a wonderful walking tour of the construction site, we're confidant the critics will be transformed into cheerleaders.  The new space is large (3x larger) and has a great open feel.  The view from the patio looks over the downtown skyline. (Not true of WRC's new neighbors, they get to stare at the electrical plant).  The park in front of the patio adds a level of charm (not that the crazy- Hennepin-Central-triangle-thing wasn't charming, but this is definitely better).

Romans become Frogs

The Bulldog empire has opened its newest venture, Bullfrog,  in the old Gladius space.  When I herd they were moving in,  I assumed they would gut the place, removing the infamous aqueduct.  Not so.
