GROWN & SEXY spring fling
7:00 pm
Hells kitchen, 80 South 9th St, Minneapolis, MN (MAP)
Dance away with glitter, glamour, and true gaiety. Let DJ
Shannon Blowtorch, Nadine DuBois & Sweetpea give you yet another night to
remember, with the queerest party in the Twin Cities: Grown & Sexy

Prepare for a marathon dance party with performances at the top
of every hour by the hottest burlesque and drag performers of the Twin
Cities.

After sold-out Pride, Halloween, & NYE events, “Grown & Sexy” has proved that the
unique combination of a killer dance party with spotlight performances
satisfies a desire for something refreshing and new.

About the Producers:
Shannon Blowtorch, sought-after sound engineer and premier DJ, is known for
her performances with the original All the Pretty Horses, as the event
director of the bygone queer bar Pi, traveling the world as the sound
engineer for the members of Le Tigre’s current project MEN, and for laying
down the best tracks for dance events across the Twin Cities.

Sweetpea, nationally-acclaimed striptease sensation, has been mesmerizing
audiences for nearly a decade. An originator or the Twin Cities’
neo-burlesque movement, she is a founder and director of Lili’s Burlesque
Revue, and is well-known for her appearances across the Twin Cities with
Lili’s and queer cabaret hits such as Dykes do Drag, The Dirty Queer Show,
and Dragmanity. Always body-positive, she is a personal trainer and
lifestyle educator, burlesque teacher, and producer of the new hit, “Naked
Girls Reading, Minneapolis.” She’s named in “The Top 100 Burlesque
Performers in the World” by 21st Century Burlesque Magazine.

Nadine Dubois, known for her quick wit and universal charm, is one of the
nation’s most sought-after burlesque emcees. Recently named one of the
“most successful entertainment personalities in the Twin Cities” (vita.mn
Magazine), she is a founder of the Twin Cities burlesque movement, and has
produced and performed in hundreds of shows in the Twin Cities. Her roots
are firmly Midwestern, but her travels (and talents) have taken her across
the country to Chicago, Denver, New Orleans, St. Louis, Seattle, San
Francisco, New York and Las Vegas.

Gastro Non Grata: Pre Earth Day Confection Carousel
8:30 pm
Triple Rock Social Club, 629 Cedar Avenue, Minneapolis, MN (MAP)
Greetings Gastronauts. It’s time once again to celebrate separating your trash, riding your bike and winter that feels like late fall. She must be warming up to us and it’s time to say thanks to Mother Earth. Our April 20 Pre Earth Day Confection Carousel comes with a WARNING…

This is a rare Friday night show and no restaurant in their right mind would give us their chef. So we’re setting savory to the side on this one and are bringing in 3 of the most talented pastry chefs in town. So Please, make sure you eat dinner before the show because you will be receiving 3 dessert courses.

Dustan Pinlac of Levain will be the first to establish the base of your sugar rush. Christian Aldrich of Haute Dish will bring the sucrose to the second course and put your taste hairs on edge. James Beard Nominee Michelle Gayer of Salty Tart Bakery will be the one to glaze you off this candy cliff into the abyss of ethereal dulcification.

Each course will be paired with a sample of the bubbly brown stuff from Lagunitas Brewery, there’s even word that we’re going to get one of the few elusive kegs of Waldo’s Ale, an ultra rare Imperial/Double IPA that has only been available in California until now. Corey Shovein of Hohenstein Distributing will be on hand for quality control and Lagunitas craft beer dorkspeak.

The honeyed vocal styling of the Cactus Blossoms will start the night off right on the waltz tip. Heavy Deeds will be bringing their laid back grooves and harmony ambrosia on a journey between your ears to help your second course settle and Michael Gaughan will be performing as Little Dog on Top of a Big Dog to bring your saccharin soaked journey to a close with a dose of perma grin.

As always, Clancey’s Meat and Fish in Linden Hills will be providing carcass for our Dead Meat Door Prize.

Local Author Matte Resist will be on hand to answer any gardening or bike repair questions. He will also be selling and signing copies of his book How and Why : A Do It Yourself Guide.

Tickets are $8 in advance here or you can buy them at the door for $12

Gastro Non Grata is a labor of love brought to you by Craig Drehmel and Jeff Mitchell.
Price Info: $8 advance, $12 at the door
