barz1@aol.com

Georgies Bar
812 5th Ave (at tracks)
Asbury Park
Every Monday a drag show
Every Sunday is Ladies night out in NJ 8 PM-1 AM
It seems that Wednesday and Saturday nights are sure times to find other CDs. It seems from the weekly AP updates that there is a drag event at 10 PM on Thursdays and that there is Drag Bingo on Tuesdays. My guess is that this is a safe and low key place to go any night of the week and there are good odds of there being other dressers around.

Amanda's Hideaway at the PL Lounge.
Every Saturday Night TG party
49 Louis Street (off rt 46 and Phillips)

It appears that a few (3-6) dressers go there once or twice a month, usually on a Thursday night just for dinner.

Angelina Vail seems to now be hosting somewhat regular parties that she calls Fluid at the Rendezvous Lounge, 
346 Broadway, in Kingston. 
She can be reached at Angelinavail@yahoo.com. More info is at www.whatisfluid.com. Angelina advises that the Rendezvous Lounge is always T friendly.
