Journey to the Center of Uranus: Outer Space Disco Dance Party
9:00 p.m.
It’s the year 6969. A distress signal has reached the backroom bar dance floor at the legendary Cell Block from a faraway place that’s tucked away tight and deep — the center of Uranus!
The passageway to the center of Uranus is closing due to neglect. Uranus needs disco…and love to stay open and alive!
This vital passage, which can bring joy to so many people — sometimes even two at one — can only be saved by the dancing heroes of T.O.P.S., the Tight Opening Project Services.
The T.O.P.S. must get sprung into action and launch themselves deep into the center of Uranus to keep it open. They’ll spread disco…and love while they’re in there.
Join us Saturday night for a disco, new wave, and gay backroom bar classic dance party. Your mission captain is DJ Sunday Bunday Zack.
Live DJ 9-close. No cover. Free clothes check.

Sunday, February 9
