Mr. and Miss Gay Asian
If your plans for Saturday night don’t involve the words, “going to see a gay Asian/Pacific Islander beauty pageant,” then I suggest you change those plans posthaste. At 7:00 on the 28th, “Drag queens and drag kings from across the Pacific Northwest will descend on Seattle’s Capitol Hill…” [SGN]. They’ll be at the Broadway Performance Hall.
The theme is “Asian & Fabulous,” and there will be evening gowns and swimsuits, national costumes, a talent portion, and dragon dancers. This is your way to celebrate the Lunar New Year Seattle-style. It’s being organized in collaboration with the API International Council and the Mpowerment Program of Lifelong AIDS Alliance, and will, I suspect, be chock full of fantastic. Afterwards, there’ll be a party at Neighbors Underground.
Tickets are $12 at the door or $10 in advance.

If I didn’t have plans, I’d go down to Seattle to catch that. Sounds like it will be a great party.
