- Dragstrip 666. Part II Blood Sucking Queens of L.A. Friday October 28 (1994?). With Dragstrip 66 Presents New Toys Saturday November 12, 1994![]() Silverlake, CA, Dragstrip 66, Publisher, 1994. Unbound. Two single sheets, stapled together at the upper left corner. Orange and yellow paper stock. 5 ½ by 4 inches. Two handbills promoting events put on by Dragstrip 66, a LGBTQ+ club founded in 1993, and known for its embrace of the alternative and punk scene, as well as drag. Founded by Paul Vitagliano and his friend Mr. Dan, the bar focused on drag when it was still an outlier even within the gay community. Part of their strategy was to adopt an underground, punk edge to drag, where everything from booger drag to its glamorous counterparts, were welcome. The club closed in 2013 and reopened again in 2023. (see LA ist online article for previous history and information). Early handbills from the Dragstrip, one promoting a benefit for A.R.T. Press (the October 28 event). The reverse of this announces a Drag-O-Lantern contest and a costume that includes an award for the best dragula. The other handbill advertises a show requesting people to dress up New Wave style, with the classic New Wave hits of the 80s sure to be played. VERY GOOD or better condition, with a few small spots of discoloration to the orange handbill. Very Good . USD 108.00 [Appr.: EURO 93.5 | £UK 81.5 | JP¥ 15966] Book number 020815is offered by:
