Q-Seattle Events: Tacky Tourist Clubs

Whether or not you ever won one of these things at your real high school, you'll have a chance Sunday to show off your high-schoolish talents (or, even, more mature versions thereof) this Sunday when Chablis hosts a talent show during Lashes, her regular Sunday night at R-Place [see bar map].

The show is a late addition to the LVHS Classless Reunion events sponsored by Tacky Tourist Clubs of America leading up to the August 11 climax party of the reunion aboard Queen City Cruise: Pier Pressure.

Chablis and the Tourists welcome all comers for the show -- singers, dancers, acrobats, magicians, body-builders, twirlers, cheerleaders. If you think it's a talent, go ahead and show it off. Chablis is likely to be at least as receptive as Sharon Osbourne on NBC's America's Got Talent and you don't have to worry about a Hoff.

(Unfortunately for real high school talents, of course, this is a 21+ event in the tradition of The Prom...You Never Went To! -- the party that inspires this Reunion.)

Tacky Tourist Clubs will award one ticket to the Cruise to the winner of the competition. If you'd rather get your tickets by more traditional means, you can still buy the $50 boarding passes on the TTCA website.

The event's founder and producer, Randy Henson, tells us that it's a mostly-pleasant surprise that it's still possible to buy tickets. For the first several weeks of sales, tickets to the limited-capacity party were selling at more than a dozen per day. It looked then like it might sell a month before the cruise date. A slower rate of sale during the past week has saved a few dozen for those who weren't able to commit earlier to the August 11 party date.
