Everybooty

Those looking for an alternative to the Manhattan Pride scene can hit up this eclectic rager at BAM. This once-a-year blowout will take over four floors of the arts institution—from the basement all the way up to the rooftop—with flashy, glittery members of the queer art, music, comedy and nightlife worlds. The five-hour party bursts at every corner with DJs, installations, live readings and drag and cabaret performances by artists including Andre J., Switch n’ Play, Salty Brine, Jo Lampert, Erin Markey, Tasha Michelle, Marc Oleszko, Flower Tortilla, Lady Quesa’Dilla, Viva Vidalia, Theydy Bedbug and the venerable House of LaBeija.
