SLIME ANTI-X-MAS

Mystery Location NK

Gather once more queer orphans — nothing to rid you of the lingering discomfort of the consumerist, heteronormative, low-key culty parts of this season than to dance it out in a DIY, scrappy little party that's all community. There will be drag, there will be big ol' groovy, bassy house and techno blend, and there will me in my slutty Santa get-up. You're welcome. If you attend our Dyke the Halls party at Silverfuture beforehand, you even get a discount at the door.

Treason

Badehaus

The holiday cabaret club night of your dreams. The crème de la crème of the Berlin drag scene presents a night of performance and spectacle, including a Madonna Nativity by the one-and-only Chiqui Love — the imagination runs wild, yet I'm sure it falls short of whatever this savant-slut team has in store. On decks, we have Bleach B2B Adam Munnings all night long, and what more could you want for Christmas?

LAYERS XMAS XTRAVAGANZA

Paloma

A last chance to get all dressed up and dance to your heart's content before your inevitable fiasco of a New Year's Eve. The Layers crew brings you the finest house music from some of the finest FLINTA* artists in town. Starting at 4 pm, come dance into the night with this all-star line-up: Jana Falcon, Josiane, Lydia Eisenblätter, Cristalyne, DJ Eivissa, and FRÆNZ. It's going to be gorgeous.
