One part local celebrity;  One part booze;  One part charity event;  Touch of drag queen.  Mix vigorously.  Serve with camp.

It’s the recipe for STAP’s Rock Star Celebrity Bartending Bash on March 22nd @ Tranquil.

OK, look: I like the “spaghetti fundraiser” this and the “taste of the” that.  But every once in a while, I like my charity events to use a little IMAGINATION.  And finally, one will.

The bash kicks off at 5 PM when “celebs” such as Candace Chapman (WBNG), Mayor Ryan, and John Brunelli compete for tips—all of which go to STAP.  It’ll be 3 tender’s per hour—but you’ll have to show up to find out who competes when.

Of course, there’s stuff to win too.  Show up wearing all red for your shot at door prizes (and to show your solidarity).  AND there’s a show.  Throughout the event, Tranquil’s cocktail servers (all in drag) will class it up with a classic tune or two.  Their tips will ALSO go to charity, so tip big.

Oh, and come empty-stomached.  The restaurant’s got a big buffet planned.  Dinner’s not required, but it’s impolite to drool on other people’s plates, so plan on buying in.
