FRUIT COCKTAIL has been a fantastic afternoon dance party and mixer since the summer of 2023! In it's last pop up event (for now...) we collaborate with Dorothy's own Enby Night to bring the same mixer and celebratory afternoon vibes to your favorite lesbian bar.
This event will be cohosted by Fruit Salad's Rainn (she/they) and Enby Night's Lou (they/he)! Seek them out for connection, community and to learn more about the events they head up.
This event is designed intentionally to be available to a variety of community members and we want to invite anyone into our party. Caretakers, older generation queer folks, weekday or nighttime workers - this is for you!
Guests will have a chance to identify what they’re looking for by a simple playful button at the door: friendship! romance! community! or all of the above. Consent, respect, pronouns and positive communication will continue to be at the forefront of what we do!
Doors for this event are at 4pm and this month’s feature on the decks is: DJ rexi!
DJ rexi (they/them) is a multi-faceted artist from Chicago, Illinois. They can be found all across the city playing everything from niche 90s nights to obscure Italian disco. Outside the bar scene they specialize in DJing & emceeing queer weddings. DJ rexi (AKA Marjorie) is also the Director of the CHIRP Radio Artist interview series, a podcast featuring minority voices in the Chicago music scene. (https://chirpradio.org/podcasts)
Get here before 5pm where our hosts kick off TEA TIME with some intentional ways to connect with each other.
DJ rexi then plays from 5:30-7pm and Dorothy continues on until Midnight!
