“Pelt her, pelt her, all the way down!” A lively crowd chanted their intentions as they pelted a wig-wearing bingo winner with crumpled paper score cards. The ritual was repeated with all ten of the winners during last Wednesday’s first ever Drag Queen Bingo at Hamburger Patties. Approximately 75 prize-hungry people showed up to the 7:00 p.m. event produced by magazine. The night’s proceeds went to Women Escaping A Violent Environment (WEAVE), an organization that provides crisis intervention services for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault. The idea for Drag Queen Bingo came about a year ago, said Hamburger Patties co-owner Richard Borill. Borill and fellow owner Davin Mansch worked with Outword Publisher Fred Palmer to get a charity beneficiary on board for Drag Queen Bingo’s launch.
