So... QueerAokee was an absolute blast.

We had bartenders swinging from ladders, people belting their hearts out, and at one point Ethan, bartender at Goat & Rabbit, grabbed the mic to sing "...Baby One More Time." I swear he only sang, "Oh baby, baby..." and let the crowd handle the rest.

Wait... no. That's literally what happened. 😂

Anyways, it's FREE TICKET TIME! Whether you're trying to catch TLC & Salt-N-Pepa, Louis Tomlinson, or Turnstile, you can still win your way in. Head over to our giveaway page. Your wallet will thank you.
