| - This place and Mado herself are an institution, it's joyful, kitchy, strobe lighty, and the performers and even the techs are amazingly cute. Mado herself is super funny, she was in full gleeful French mode since the PQ had just won, and making jokes about not needing to bother with English anymore, but when she chatted up a group of Japanese bridesmaids she switched into her excellent and firey witty English no problem, with a rapid fire string of Japanese to boot.
The place feels clean and loved and like it's happy to embrace a timespace contiuuum somewhere between here and the nineties. Sometimes they'll amp up the strobe lights for a couple songs for no apparent reason which could be seizure inducing to the sensitive and kinda random to all others... except the ubiquitous 45 year old man with the blond tips, muscle top, who is just ready to dance alone to anything, no matter what. I heart him.
It's a diverse friendly crowd. Tuesdays Mado hosts and sometimes you can catch all stars from Drag Races if you're lucky - the website won't be much help, the Facebook page is a bit better - during Pride week come here any night for full on awesome.
Thanks to the glorious Bday lady Amy T for getting me back to this joyous dragventure, definitely tops my Tuesday todo's.
