Get Shame-ful after the Odd Ball!

The producers of the Odd Ball and Shame are banding together to bring you the hottest night of eastside Pride fun.

Odd Ball partygoers get into Shame at the ANZA Club for half-price after 11:30PM. Since the Odd Ball closes at midnight, it's a ready-made after-party.

Lesbians on Ecstasy won't go on until you get there - after midnight! Two parties on the eastside! Don't miss out.

Party at the Odd Ball from 8:00PM to midnight and then keep going 'til 4am at Shame!

Announcing a special performance by The Wet Spots

The Odd Ball is thrilled to present: a very special performance by The Wet Spots!

The Wet Spots



From their website:
“The Wet Spots' glam, campy show is a natural fit with the alternative cabaret/variety scene, and they consider themselves part of the queer entertainment community (though their material goes over equally well with soldiers, bikers and suburbanites). The cheery, sex-positive message they bring reflects Cass' former career as a sex columnist and manager of a pioneering women's sexuality store. While [they primarily focus] on entertainment, its educational value has been noted by the media and by renowned sex educators such as Annie Sprinkle, Susie Bright, Ducky Doolittle and Sue Johansen."

The Wet Spots will be performing a very special, intergalactic dance routine...Don't miss it!

Check out their fantastic video for the song "Do You Take It...?" here:

Music that you can dance to!

If you've been to past Odd Balls then you know that we have two rad ladies on the decks. Back again to make you dance, dance, dance are DJ's Ruggedly Handsome and Titz McGee.

Ruggedly Handsome



Ruggedly Handsome (formerly Party Bangs) has been DJ-ing around Vancouver for a while now. You may have seen her throwin' down the tunes at Seamrippers parties and at Bent. This is the third time that she has DJ'ed an Odd Ball and we are excited to have her back. Not only is she an excellent DJ, but she's an excellent person as well. Calling all fans of Fleetwood Mac, Beyonce and Dolly Parton...and cats!!!




Titz McGee has DJ'ed at special events at Lick and Honey, as well as local house parties and all of the Odd Balls. When she's not picking out records and CDs to play, she's helping organize the Odd Ball. Her friends call her "the music nazi" but she just wants them to have a good time and dance to her favourite songs. Look out for rump shakers like Lady Sov, Sean Paul and, erm, Journey.

Oh yeah!

The Odd Ball is gonna be awesome! Don't believe me? Check out what these folks had to say about our past parties:

You guys should do this every weekend! It was so much fun!!! - Anne

The folks the party attracted made for a perfect lefty, creative, queer, performer chemistry. I noted people dancing in the line for the bar, as well as in the bathroom. Everyone was smiling at each other, talking, laughing. It was great. - Gregory

All I could think of all night was - this is just like prom night except that last weekend all the cheerleaders and football guys got killed in a horrible bus crash! - Rob
