benefit for Katrina is in the works and will be hosted by the
Meridian,
called "Bring Back the Big Easy," on

and hospitality industry, as well as to support the many artists
and musicians who have been devastated by Katrina's aftermath.
Donations are being accepted for auction items. Please register

SAVE
THE DATE: I had a blonde moment and mentioned the wrong
date for the QOC one-year anniversary party. It will be a wig
party (wear one) on Saturday October 1st. Doofus me said Saturday,
September 30th ooops! It's really on October 1st, and from 7-9PM
we will enjoy happy hour prices at 6° Lounge. You will receive
and invitation via email before then, but if you buy your wig
at either Erotic Cabaret location (1222 or 6509 Westheimer,)
they will give you 10% off your entire purchase, so why not buy
a new outfit and shoes there too?
