Friday's Holiday Target Announced: THE ASSOCIATION

[Guerrilla Gay Bar HQ]

GUERRILLA GAY BAR COMMUNIQUE No. 51

Season's Greetings, Guerrillas,

Give your Mrs. Santa Claus DVD a rest for the night!  This Friday, December 12 at 9 PM, Guerrilla Gay Bar hosts our jolliest takeover of the year, when we invade:

THE ASSOCIATION

110 E. 6th Street, 

Los Angeles, CA 90014

Google Map:  http://tinyurl.com/5lfo2c

The Association is L.A.'s hottest new nightspot -- it opened only last weekend!  The bar is unmarked on the outside, save for the door, which is an exact replica of the Prime Minister's door at 10 Downing Street in London -- complete with a brass lion's head door knocker,

GAY APPAREL

Got a Menorah beanie, some Kwanzaa earmuffs, a velvet bowtie in the shape of a poinsettia?  Finally, here's a place to wear it where someone (other than the bewildered relative who gave it to you) will appreciate it.  The cheesier and more over-the-top your holiday outfit, the better!  

Alternatively, you could just look nice and classy for the holidays, and we'll give you a black arm band.  But seriously, where's the fun in that?

SANTA HOPPED THE RED LINE

If you're coming from someplace subway-adjacent, note that the Red Line is running on Friday night until 3 AM, so leave the car at home and take the subway.  Otherwise, there are some public pay lots in the neighborhood and at nearby Pershing Square (which is also the closest subway stop to The Association.)

NAUGHTY OR NICE

Tell us whether you deserve a stocking full of coal or a tree surrounded by presents when you RSVP at http://events.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=events.detail&eventID=477165.91032  

You don't have to RSVP to come, but it sure heats up our cocoa when you do.

MORE FUN THAN A WHITE ELEPHANT

...and less chance of coming home with some piece of junk.  

Bring your friends along, but first, tell them to sign themselves up for our email list at http://www.guerrillagaybar.com/ so they will be the first to hear about all of our future takeovers.  

Also, feel free to forward this email to people, or repost/link to it social-networking-wise.

GET YOUR PICTURE TAKEN BY A SURLY "ELF"

Or better yet, bring your own camera and take pictures to post to our Guerrilla Gay photo pool at http://flickr.com/groups/ggbla/

BABY, IT'S COLE'S OUTSIDE

Did we mention that The Association is brand new and awesome?  You should have no trouble getting in at 9 PM or before, but you might face a wait in line if you come any later.  

If there's a line when you arrive, you might check out the "dimly lit... ratty and elegant" Cole's next door, an L.A. staple since 1908 that has just been re-opened by downtown nightclub impresario Cedd Moses.  (He's the man behind 7 Grand, which we took over earlier this year.)  More info at http://colesfrenchdip.com/ Also worth noting:  Cole's famous French Dip sandwiches.

STUFF SOMEONE'S STOCKING

Remember our motto at Guerrilla Gay Bar:  take care of your bartender, and the rest will take care of itself. 

'til Friday.

Viva la revolution!
