CHATTER AWAY: Overnight Open Thread

New from our pal Matt Baume:



One freezing night in 1967, drag performers from across the country gathered in a cramped theater for a pageant that would forever change the face of drag. And by a stroke of luck — as well as some clever marketing — a documentary crew happened to be there, and managed to capture a moment that foreshadowed the creation of New York drag houses and the ball culture that we recognize today from Paris is Burning and Drag Race.
