"It's the queer dance party that's breaking hearts and causing trouble. Rogert Ebert declared, "FUSE is a non-stop train ride of hot-wet-sinister pseudo sexual love and mystery that makes me want to wear womens panties." Gwen Lyons of hte Morning Show said, "Brava! Finally a party where I can have fun and be myself. Also, the bartenders make my lacies lusty!" Staring homos like hobos, with a special live performance by slick and soft Nicky Click! Come see the event everyone is talking about!"

-HX Maganize issue 58

 

The mission of FUSE is to bring together a diverse queer community by providing a positive, welcoming and entertaining monthly party every 3rd Saturday of the month.  FUSE actively works to create strong connections by promoting and benefiting agencies that work within the queer community; showcasing local performers, artists, musicians, and DJs; and specifically advertising to as varied a demographic of queer people as possible.  FUSE acknowledges that individuals within the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities face various types of oppressions including, but not limited to racism, sexism, transphobia, and ageism  It is our belief that these differences should not further divide an already marginalized community but rather be seen as a strength that fuses us together.

Sat., Jan. 20, 10pm-2am. $5. Sal's on 12th, 200 S. 12th St. --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> --> www.thefusebox.net

When the untimely departure of girL party left a hole in the city's social offerings for queer women, resident DJs Kit and Phoenix and a posse of organizers and artists decided to do something about it. Their vision was to keep the monthly dance party and performance space alive as a safe and accessible spot for women, including transgender women and men, to come together. Fuse was born, bringing the music back every month starting this Saturday at Sal's—without missing a beat since girL's last bash in December. Same time, same $5 cover, same cheap drinks. Fuse organizers plan to feature local spoken-word and dance artists in the downstairs space while stepping up party themes and promotions (read: more freebies). So put on your hot shirt, pocket a fiver and get ready for some pool, because the party's getting started all over again. (Angelina Conti)
