GayBINGO: Honey, it's not your grandmother's bingo!

0 comments
GayBINGO! is the fabulous, irreverent, campy, wildly popular monthly event that has been entertaining Philadelphia audiences for more than a decade! GayBINGO! raises money for people in the Delaware Valley living with HIV/AIDS. Now entering its 14th season, GayBINGO! has raised over 2 million dollars to date.

Celebrating a different theme each month, hundreds of people pack the hall in Center City’s Gershman Y for a night of good old-fashioned Bingo… with a decidedly different twist! GayBINGO! is hosted by the infamous Bingo Verifying Divas (BVDs!) – a wild bunch of drag queens on roller skates who entertain the crowd with their wacky humor and always outrageous costumes.

GayBINGO! promises to be an evening of unbridled fun, complete with ridiculous musical numbers, hilarious drag queen antics, chances to win cash and fabulous prizes, and much, much more.

The Henri David Halloween Ball

0 comments
Changes are you've been to your fair share of Halloween parties over the years but never one like this.

It was 1968 when an eccentric 22-year old Philadelphia man named Henri David decided to throw a Halloween bash for 300 of his friends.

More than 40 years later, David is one of Philadelphia's most successful jewelers, with a client list that includes Stevie Nicks and Elton John.

His annual extravaganza attracts upward of 4,000 costumed revelers, including some of the city's most open-minded socialites - and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell, who hasn't missed a ball in 13 years.

Expect a truly outlandish costumes (David's three costumes are a closely guarded secret), lots of drinking and dancing and (late) night you will never forget.
