Queer Bash: Pride Farewell ticket giveaway!

All right, listen up, you little shitz. The fabulous promoters of the final (as in the LAST) Queer Bash, which is happening Sunday, July 31 at The Cobalt, have given me TWO tickets to give away to Blitz & Shitz readers.

Here’s what you need to do to get your gritty glam paws on the pair of tickets (valued at $40): write an obituary for Queer Bash! That’s it. Sweet and simple. It can be a couple sentences to a paragraph — just don’t send me the first chapter of a novel. You can write whatever the fuck you want! There really are no rules. Write what Queer Bash means to you. Write your favourite Queer Bash memory. Write what you’re going to miss the most about the epic extravaganza once it’s RIP.

I will base my decision on originality and fun. I will NOT base my decision on grammar or spelling or any of that boring shitz. Send your farewell for the final Queer Bash to blitzandshitz@xtra.ca by Friday, July 29 at 10am. I will be blogging the winner on Blitz & Shitz that same Friday, so be sure to check back to see who got the tickets!

I guarantee this is a night your broke ass won’t want to miss.

Lalalove,

Raziel
