Hey, Big Bidder
While a load of Republicans may have left town with the political reversal of fortune, plenty are headed to D.C. this weekend, April 16 to 19, for a GOP, or Gay Over-the-top (ahem) Party. While most of the goings on are reserved for attendees of the 2009 Log Cabin Republicans National Convention & Liberty Education Forum Symposium, centered at the Westin City Center off Thomas Circle, everybody can get in on the fun Thursday, April 16.
That night, at Nellie’s Sports Bar, 900 U St. NW, the D.C. chapter of LCR is presenting an event that’s bound to redefine the phrase “big tent.” It’s time for a beefy bachelor auction to benefit Capital Pride. With Lena “Of Course I’ll” Lett “You” serving as emcee, you’ll probably even get a chance to press the flesh and kick the tires before submitting your bid.
Plan to spend big, as the seven studs the LCR has lined up are collectively one hell of a stimulus package. But don't take Hearsay’s word for it. Have a look for yourself.
And don’t be late! The auction starts at 9:30 p.m. Rumor has it that opening bids will be in the $50 to $75 ballpark, but some of the guys have already secured pledges in the $250 range, so be prepared to pony up.
