It's Oscar season and you can smell the talent in the air. So, either you can buy a new Renuzit or give in to the glamour and pageantry of it all. Might we suggest:
—The Lincoln Hall Oscar Viewing Party with Mercedes Join local lovely Mercedes Tyler for a Red Carpet experience like no other. RSVP on Facebook (just search for Oscar and Mercedes; it's bound to come up) for a special VIP cocktail reception 4:30-5:30 p.m. Don your best celebrity look-alike garb for a chance to win big cash and prizes. Mercedes will unleash her tongue for the Red Carpet roast. Plus, check out a special performance by Quixotoc Theater Company. No cover!!!
—Sidetrack's Oscar Party It's always a gold-plated hoot with your host Circuit Mom, who will host a special Showtunes Sunday starting at 4 and leading up to the big night. Each hour, four lucky attendees will be selected to watch the show from the Sidetrack Showbox, which includes complimentary cocktails served up by the scandalous Sidetrack Golden Boys.
—On the Carpet at Center On Halsted Browse the silent auction, win special raffle prizes and delight in the splendor of the transformed third floor of the Center, including the swanky tent on the roof deck. This is a once-a-year treat and all funds will help out the Center, which we all know and love.
And a special thanks to Mike and Darin for lending Nightspots their very own mini-Oscar for use on this week's cover. With a little gay fairy dust and a heapin' helpin' o' Photoshop, we made that little guy grow to at least twice his size. We list this among our more special talents. Can ya smell it?
Well, after several aborted attempts to spend a week in Key West (Guess who had a flight booked for Tues., February 1), I have re-planned my trip for April and will be jetting down to Austin, Tex. this weekend. Maybe I'll bring y'all back somethin' nice.
