Get ready for the Prom!
The Capital Queer Prom, that is. B.O.I. Marketing (headed by Metro Weekly’s Outspoken host Ebone Bell) presents this fifth annual event, this year benefiting the Youth Pride Alliance. It kicks off with a "meet and greet" party Friday night at The Reef in Adams Morgan and ends with drag brunch Sunday at Nellie's. The prom itself happens Saturday night on a Potomac River cruise, where a king and queen, loosely labeled, will be crowned. Guests include famous Mississippi teenager Constance McMillen, Catherine "Cat" Ommanney from Bravo’s The Real Housewives of D.C. and local broadcast personality Anji Corley. Saturday, March 19, on the Spirit of Mount Vernon, from 9 p.m. to midnight. Boarding begins at 8:30 p.m. Tickets for the prom are $75, or $95 for prom and brunch. Visit capitalqueerprom.com.
You can still win a pair of tickets to the Prom. The contest is open until tonight at 9 p.m. Enter here.
