Spy Museum
800 F St NW
DJ MAJR (SHIFT + BULLETPROOF)
5:30 PM
I hope you’ve already broken all your resolutions like I have. We’re going to try something new and exciting this month with Homo Hotel Happy Hour. In fact, we won’t be in a hotel at all. We’re going to take a detour to the hotel’s tourism cousin, the museum. The Spy Museum is going incognito as a happy hour venue for us homos.
The best part, guests will be able to tour the museum exhibit Operation Spy from 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM for FREE! Just finish your drinks before you enter.
DJ MAJR of SHIFT and BULLETPROOF will be spinning in our dedicated event space upstairs.
When you enter, you will first have to purchase drink tickets. Yes, I know tickets aren’t ideal, but because the Spy Museum isn’t really a bar, we have to do it this way. Both cash and credit cards will be accepted. There will be plenty of bars with plenty of bartenders.
Our areas will be the Spy Café, Operation Spy and the event space upstairs. Guest services representatives will be on hand to point you in the right direction or answer any questions.

Happy Holidays everyone. It’s time for The Homo Hotel Happy Hour Holiday Party. I hope you can find some time in your holiday party schedule to squeeze in a cocktail at this month’s HHHH.

Drinks will be much more affordable than recent events and will be aligned with your holiday budgets. Stay tuned for more details on drink prices, DJs and any community partners.
This year CRACK produced variety shows that made fun of the nether regions of outer space and the bucolic lawns of suburbia. Now, DC’s edgiest theater group is saddling up for a wild trip to the western heartland!
It’s time for another outrageous CRACK variety show. On Saturday, October 17, CRACK is hosting an old-fashioned country jamboree at Town that will be packed with live performances, short films, audience participation, and improvisation. As usual, the bawdy show is hosted by the naughty drag queen SUMMER CAMP and features farmhands KARL JONES and CHRIS FARRIS. DC theater-goers shouldn’t miss this special event that gives local performers–who have fallen through the cracks of traditional theater–a venue to showcase their hidden (and questionable) talents. The doors open at 9 PM and the show starts at 10 PM. And this time, audience members can get in on the action. General admission is $10, but audience members who wear anything country or western, receive a $2 discount. Folks are encouraged to wear cowboy hats, kerchiefs, boots, hoop skirts, bonnets, vests, or any other country outfit.
So far, the cattle call of performers includes POLLY DARTON and ANDREW GROSSMAN; GRANDMA BEDSWELL and her famous Country-time Juice; KARL “CURLY” JONES and THE BALTIMORE SQUARES; award winning TV personality from TruTV’s hit show “The Smoking Gun Presents” SCOTT NEVINS; the Baltimore drag sensation SUNRIZE HIGHWAY; as seen on NBC’s America’s Got Talent season 3, the DC COWBOYS; flamenco-dancing drag diva JOSUE CASTILLEJA; the sultry LADY LEXY; BRYAN EWSICHEK and DANNY CHAPMAN; the BURLESQUE COWPOKER; and more.
