The first Kickback @ The Edge was absolute 🔥🔥🔥

More to come on our IG but this little bit tells the story.

PS,
Our little “90s Mariah vs 2000s Mariah” had all 100 people in the bar singing their hearts out word for word. 2000s Mariah went 3 to 1 after four rounds.

See you at the next one. ✨💗

Bay Area queer folk, this is for you.

This is for everyone in the LGBTQ+ community, whether you have a place to go, need a safe & affirming place to go, or just want to be with community (without having to cook & clean).

End 🧵

And let’s be honest, this is the truth.

What’s My Favorite Word? BRUNCH! — it’s about drag, live music, decades of music from the Bay, brunch, drinks, day partying, and so much queerness.

Last few discount tix are $15. If you prefer Venmo: @ boss-ideahouse (memo “Fluid Brunch”)

🧵

We chose the holiday weekend for a reason: we just want queer people to come home and know they have options for safe, affirming spaces. It’s Bay Area queer, not either or; infuse your queerness with local context & culture, family.

Here’s another tix option: secure.actblue.com/donate/boss-...

🧵

Celebrate Bay music, with an all-Bay Area cast (born & raised!) an all-Bay Area setlist (only artists from the Bay!) plus a full bar & brunch menu — with drag performances, live vocal performances, and more!!

Just like our free Friendsgiving on Nov 27th in Oakland, we’re hosting a queer posada — the Queersada — on Dec 25th from 2-5pm at Beaux in the Castro.

Community means everyone has a place to go, and that we do it with food, music, and joy.

See you then and there, family.

The last few $10 tix are waiting to be snapped up. They go to $15 tomorrow (and $20 at the door).

It’s a whole cast born & raised in the Bay Area. It’s a whole brunch where only music from the Bay Area will be played, sung, or performed to.

The sign said, “LESS EDM, MORE BAY SLAPS”

Bet.

Everyone on stage is born & raised in the Bay.

Every song you’ll hear comes from a singer, artist, group or band from the Bay.

And there’s brunch.

We’ll see you there.

$10 tix expire on 11/11 (go to $15 after): secure.actblue.com/donate/boss-...

Community is for everyone.

Not matter your age, income, academic background, or otherwise, this is for you. “I don’t want to take someone else’s spot.”

No, beloved, that’s not how community works. This is your spot, because you are community.
