Buying was the name of the game at The 14th Annual Hall of Fame Celebrity Auction, held Sept. 26 in the glass bar at Sidetrack.
There were both silent and live auctions. Items in the former event included beauty packages and even a special state 'PRIDE' license plate. The live auction included trips as well as a painting that the artist, former Young and the Restless star Thom Bierdz, had just completed live.
Auctioneers for the evening were David Boyer, Circuit Mom, Jessica Halem and Amy Matheny, host of the new Windy City Queercast. Guest entertainers included Honey West and 2006 Windy City Gay Idol winner Luis Vega.
The 2006 Hall of Fame induction ceremony will be held from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Nov. 14 in the Sydney R. Yates Gallery at the Chicago Cultural Center, 77 E. Randolph.
