Jungle Atlanta - 2115 Faulkner Road Atlanta, GA 30324 $10. 10 p.m.
Calling all freaks, geeks, tops, bottoms and queer folks. WUSSY MAG is putting on the prom that you never had in order to celebrate the homecoming of drag icon and Atlanta native Violet Chachki. Violet will join Brigitte Bidet and their dragmother Dax ExclamationPoint in judging the DISCO BLOODBATH 3017 contest in which the best lewks will battle it out to see who will be crowned Prom Royalty. Never fear, WUSSY would never subject you to the sorry tunes that probably played at your high school prom. Instead, sounds will be served up by #POZSIPOZSI and DJ King Atlas. The event is 18+ and guests under 21 will be charged an additional $5 at the door.
