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)

Golden GRRRLS is a benefit to raise money and awareness for The Aliveness Project
The promoters explain
"By bringing together many different facets of the LGBT community, we will produce an entertaining night celebrating the accomplishments of 40 years by Drag Performers of the Twin Cities.
To highlight the endless assistance of these Drag Performers, in raising funds for over 50 different Minnesotan organizations and businesses, a special honorary show will be held. This will include local actors, singers, and cabaret performers.
The gathering of 100 honorees will also gather and perform! This 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.
A dedicated area will have recorded messages from entertainers who are not able to attend due to scheduling conflicts.
An area that the evening would be not complete without, is a Memorial Tribute, for those who have gone on but have not left our hearts and memories.
This event will not only honor the efforts and talents of past and present performers, but will help to continue traditions for future performers.
