Which Sac queer bar would you take a first date to, and why? Keep it to one line.

Shoutout to the Rainbow Chamber for hosting Drag Queen Bingo at Mango’s this month. The queens were flawless, the crowd was unruly in the best way, and I’ve never seen a bingo ball handled with that much shade.

I won the cover-all prize: two 2-day Disneyland Park passes. I’d like to thank my dauber, my steady hand, and years of training for absolutely nothing until that moment.

I then gifted the tickets to my friend Matthew Middleton, who is celebrating his birthday this week. Happy birthday, Matthew. I expect a full report and at least one photo with a mouse.

Thank you, Rainbow Chamber, for a genuinely great night for a great cause. I’ll be back to defend my title, which I’ve decided is a title.

So I have to ask: what’s the best prize you’ve ever won at bingo, a raffle, or any other event? I’m collecting these for research. The research is jealousy.

Halloween weekend is here, which means Sacramento is about to be full of people who spent three weeks on a costume and three minutes on a plan to get home.

We want to see the costumes. Yours, your friend’s, or the stranger at party who clearly peaked in the hot glue aisle. Post your best looks here in the comments.

Please be safe this weekend. Plan your ride home, drink some water, keep an eye on your friends, and don’t let anyone leave alone. A costume can be scary. The rest of the night shouldn’t be.

Add this to this week!
