East Point Possums Party

(Daphne, Alexandria and Gigi, ready to do their part for Katrina relief.)

I've long been wondering how I can make a difference in the Hurricane Katrina relief efforts. It was such a quandary given my limited funds and utter lack of skills. Luckily, Momma Dale was contacted by our good friends, the East Point Possums, regarding a Katrina Drag benefit show. The inspiration for the show is something called a 'second line': a New Orleans tradition which is essentially a party that memorialized the departure of a loved one. The event will be a ‘second line’ for the loss of our beloved N'Awlins and the entire Gulf Coast. In addition, 100% of the proceeds will be donated to local Hurricane Katrina relief efforts.

An absolute star-studded cast will be there to entertain the masses: Alexandria Martin, Atlanta Drag Idol Gigi Monroe, the East Point Possums, Bubba D. Licious and even ME! It's sure to be a night to remember.

When - Saturday, October 8 from 9:00 to 11:00 pm
Where - the parking lot behind the East Point Corner Tavern located at 2783 Main Street
Who - Daphne Ruth Jenkins, Alexandria Martin, Gigi Monroe, the East Point Possums, Bubba D. Licious

So mark your calendars as I expect to see you all there this coming Saturday to do your part for the Katrina relief efforts. Not only will you have a blast, you'll feel good about yourself in the morning. Unless of course you're hung over the next day like I'm sure to be.

Smooches,
Daph
