There’ll be more than $1k cash and prizes awarded. All martinis will be half-priced that night. The more you drink, the better they look, entry fee is $10. Miss Foozie hosts a moonlight cruise during Market Days on August 6. The boat boards around midnight at Navy Pier and returns to dock a little after two in the morning. There will be dancing, hors d-oeuvres and, of course, Miss Foozie doing her Shelly Winters in “Poseidon” impersonation. Tix are $35.90 per person (I think the 90 cents is for Dramamine). You must be at least 21 years old to board this ride. Go to MysticBlueCruises.com for more information. All the best drag queens will be descending upon Berlin on Sunday, July 27 for “Bonanza”, a sale featuring vintage clothing and wares from some of the city’s top shops for vintage wear. Among the stores participating are; Knee Deep, Hot Temper Hot Sauce, Joules Jewels, Xza Louise, Jenstyle Vintage, Very Best Vintage, Polly Golightly, and Psychosurplus. Sip while you shop, with specials such as $2 PBR, $2.50 mimosas and $6 Absolut Bloody Marys. It all takes place between the civilized hours of 1 p.m. and 8 p.m.   Golly Gidget, Look at all the Gay Guys! That’s what one might say to Sally Field, if she still played Gidget, instead of a grandmother with osteoporosis, at Roscoe’s when it converts to Bacardi Island Beach on August 6. And, if you don’t get enough the first time, they’ll replay the entire thing August 22. It’s Take Your Bitch to the Bar Day Before you all start sending angry e-mails my way, read farther. The Wild Pug celebrates our four-legged friends every Saturday with “Dog Day Afternoon” where you can cruise or chat while your pup plays in air-conditioned comfort.  Jock Itch While we’re in Uptown, let’s talk about The Wild Pug’s sister bar, Crew. Yeah, I know it’s a sports bar, but isn’t about time they proved it? Oh, wait! They are! During the next Frat Boy Friday, July 23, they’re encouraging the bar’s patrons to show us that they’re athletic supporters by…oh, wait. I got that wrong. They’re encouraging the guys to show us their athletic supporters, as in jockstraps. Well that’s very different isn’t it? I hear that contest hostess Sofia Saffire likes the “Hot Jock Contest” to get a little dirty, so bring in da funk. You might win a prize and bring home $200. Sign up starts at 10 p.m., and the fun kicks into high gear at 11 p.m. If you can’t sign your name, just rub your jock on an index card and Sofia will smell you out.  Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair Now, here’s a novel way to do your laundry. Head over to the laundromat next to Scot’s and the guys at the bar will give you detergent. Then while your unmentionables are spinning around you can sit and sip a cocktail at the bar. When it’s time to change your loads (of laundry), run over, take care of business and hop back on your stool where they’ll keep your drink cold for you. While you’re at the bar, admire the new exhibit of art by Dan Crowley. It’s O.K. to Dribble July 23 will be “Gay Day” when Chicago’s WNBA team, Chicago Sky, faces New York Liberty. Tickets for the event are $45 and includes your game ticket, a souvenir t-shirt and $10 donated back to an LGBT organization. Call 322.994.5980 or e-mail sanderson@chicagosky.net. Will, somebody please explain why there is a “Gay Day” at the WNBA? I thought every game there was a gay day game.   It’s All Greek to Me Alexi Giannoulias is not only one hot number; he is a straight man so comfortable with himself that he’s not intimidated being in the middle of a gay crowd. He also has a good track record with the GLBT community. So, it’s no wonder he, and a lot of his supporters, had a WTF moment recently. Alexi rented space at the Center on Halsted for an event and invited TPAN, an organization with whom he’s worked, to participate. The Center’s E.D., Tico, decided that he didn’t want TPAN there, no one is quite certain why. Things were being ironed out as we went to press. Maybe we’ll have more later.http://www.boimagazine.commailto:sanderson@chicagosky.netBOI_Home.html13.10_Feature.html13.10_On_The_Go_files/out_hall_of_fame.jpg13.10_On_The_Go_files/SmartBarAd.jpghttp://www.rockettube.com/13.10_On_The_Go_files/out_parade1.jpg13.10_On_The_Go_files/out_tyra_sanchaz.jpg13.10_On_The_Go_files/STEVENARICHARDSAD.jpg13.10_On_The_Go_files/STEVENARICHARDSAD_1.jpgshapeimage_1_link_0shapeimage_1_link_1
