BENT over: come dance on our grave!


The rumours are true: This coming Thursday (Oct 18th) will be the last BENT ever!

It's BENT Over!... and what better way to mark the end, than with a funeral? That's right, we really are that tacky.
So come celebrate the last 2 years of homo makeout madness, by going out the way we came in: DANCING!
Dress in black (it's a drama queen competition, so go all out!) or as a ghost of your favorite BENT past and get out there for one last spin on the dance floor and one last makeout in the bathroom stalls.

NEW! We have improved our accessibility!
WE HAVE RENTED AN 8 FOOT RAMP!!! WE HAVE RENTED A WHEEL CHAIR ACCESSIBLE PORT-O-POTTY!!!
Details:
BENT is held at the ANZA club rental hall. To enter this space a person must climb 4 indoor steps (25 inches total height). The walls on either side of these stairs are about 40 inches apart, which could allow a person to brace themselves on either side. WE HAVE RENTED AN 8 FOOT RAMP (with a weight capacity of 700 pounds) which will allow access to the upstairs hall via this same entrance. Once in the hall, there are no rises within the space (the bar, tables area and dance floor are all on one level). The washrooms are down a steep flight of stairs (20+ stairs) or, if you choose to exit the building and enter by the side entrance through the bar, it is down 7 steps. There are no wheelchair accessible stalls in either of the 2 washrooms. WE HAVE RENTED A WHEEL CHAIR ACCESSIBLE PORT-O-POTTY which will be outside the Anza club all evening.

If you have questions about this or resources to contribute to the accessibility of the space, please get in touch: we.are.bent@gmail.com

DANCE IT. SWEAT IT. GET IT.
***************************

BENT is (has been) a monthly non-profit, collective-run party on Vancouver's eastside that is produced by and for queers of all kinds and their allies.

This party is volunteer run. If you would like to volunteer at the next BENT please email us. You'll get into the party for free and get a drink of your choice on us.

The party tends to fill up early so be there early! People get into the party in the order they arrive, no line jumping, no favoritism.

In an effort to make BENT more accessible, we offer parents in our community childcare subsidies. Please email the collective at we.are.bent@gmail.com for more information.

A NOTE TO ALL PARTY GOERS:
We try our very best to make everyone welcome, comfortable and safe at our parties, so please be respectful of the volunteers, security people and other party-goers. Basically, be nice or just stay home. Also, remember that it's volunteers who clean up after you at the end of the night.
