Drag Me to the Movies: Stampede Edition
Best Little Wh*rehouse in Texas
July 13 | 7:00 PM – 2:00 AM
Howdy, y'all! Welcome to the first-ever Calgary edition of Drag Me to the Movies. All the way from the bustlin' metropolis of Toronto, Drag Me to the Movies host and curator Weird Alice (@dragmetothemovies) is flying out for a rootin' tootin' hollerin' good ol fashioned Stampede showdown. This evening will be co-hosted by none other than Calgary's own Lilith Fair! To kick off the series we're doing things Calgary style with a campy country classic "The Best Little Wh*rehouse in Texas" (1982).
What is Drag Me to the Movies? Why, it's only the best way to view a film! There will be drag performances, movie bingo, prizes, hilarious commentary, beer & cocktails from Annex Ale Project, and of course Dolly Parton & Burt Reynolds on the big screen in the ol' Planetarium. To cap it off you'll get a free late-night pancake breakfast compliments of Healthy Baby. Still don't think that's enough? Good, because after the show we'll have even MORE drag performances featuring Calgary's own Canada's Drag Race legend @thekaosofjesilo. With additional performances by local icons @lilithfairyyc and @who.is.indigo. Stick around after for a boot-scootin' boogie curated by the one and only DJ Molly Fi @mollyfi, a mini-market, drinks and a whole lot of two-steppin’. So put on your best country getup and come on down to Contemporary Calgary for our first-ever Drag Me to the Movies on July 13th!
