A few years ago, my friend Beth and I were hanging around the East Village of New York City and we ended up at the Bowery Poetry Club.  We were thumbing through a copy of Time Out New York trying to find a FREE event to go to.  And, there it was!  Drag Queen Bingo with Murray Head, NYC's most well-known drag king.  We rolled up in the Bowery, got a BINGO card a piece, plopped down and had a ridiculously good time.

Well, now, Drag Queen Bingo is coming to Owensboro.  I am on the board of New Beginnings here in town and we're teaming up with the Owensboro Convention Center for a fun new event.  It's 7:30pm, Saturday, June 12th and tickets are on sale now!

Tickets are $25 per person or you can purchase a table of eight for $175.  Both options are available and tickets go on sale now at 10am CST (Monday, May 3rd) at OwensboroTickets.com.
