Thursday, Nov 5 Gag, B*tch!: Fundraiser Supporting Eyricka Lanvin

About the party

Gag, B*tch! is a fundraiser for Eyricka Lanvin's surgery at The Sultan Room in Bushwick on Thursday, November 5, from 11 PM to 4 AM. The hosts are House of Lanvin, For The Gworls, Dick Appointment, Black Trans Femmes in the Art, Body Hack, Courtney Juicy Balenciaga and NYC Mother Jonovia Lanvin, with support from the New York and New Jersey Ballroom Alliance.

What to expect

A late weeknight party built around a cause, with six DJs and live performances by Gia Love, Asanni Armon and Peachez With A Z. The Sultan Room describes itself as an inclusive space that removes anyone acting hatefully or disrespectfully. My take: this is for people who want to dance late on a Thursday with a ballroom-connected crowd and put their ticket toward a community member's care.

Music and lineup

The DJs are Kenni Javon, Byrell The Great, Amarji King, DJ Freedem, Lita The Doll and Archangel, per the listing. Genres are not stated, and set and performance times are not published.
