Burlesque sweetheart Ginger Jones is celebrating her birthday and wants you to help her celebrate with a party for a good cause! On January 29, 2011, the 5th Annual Ginger’s Birthday Mystery Box will steam up Wall Street Nightclub in downtown Columbus. Pre-sale tickets are only $5, and proceeds will benefit the Equality Ohio Education Fund, a non-profit, state-wide organization focused on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender advocacy and education. Doors open at 8pm, and the show starts at 9pm.
The Mystery Box will feature thousands in prizes including huge raffle baskets, a 50/50 raffle, a photo booth by Groovy Doodle photography, caricatures by Bob, mystery boxes filled with prizes, and of course, birthday sweets from Pattycake Bakery! Performers from Ohio and beyond – including the beguiling Ceci MyPlaymate from Toronto - will delight and entertain with gender bending, dancing, performance art, and more. Pre-sale tickets are available for only $5 at Wholly Craft!, Wall Street Nightclub, and at http://www.gingersmysterybox.com or 614.653.8BOX. Cover is $7 at the door; tables for four can be purchased for $40 from Miz Ginger at miz_ginger.jones@yahoo.com or 614.653.8BOX. Each table features its own mystery box containing raffle tickets, treats, and special surprises!
