Gay List Daily’s must-do events: December 11-14

by Staff of of Gay List Daily

Whether Christmas is your favorite celebration of the year, or just another bank holiday that allows you to sleep late and watch the All My Children marathon on SoapNet, the countdown has begun. We’re in the final stretch. The finish line is in sight. The light at the end of the tunnel is visible. The final credits are about to roll.

Most importantly, now you know you don’t have to buy us that “Big Book of Clichés” we’ve been eying, because we’ve already bought it! (But we still want a gift, so you’re not off the hook.) So until we receive that big shiny box, we’re going to continue what we started.

The fat lady’s about to sing! The dead horse is about to be kicked! The giant lesbian wizard…oh, never mind. Just enjoy this week’s activities and hang in there until December 25.

Bangles Live!: Jewelry by Two Over Coffee at JR’s

Sunday, December 14, 4:00 – 7:00 p.m.

And by Bangles, we mean jewelry, not the group. But you probably figured that out already. Two of our favorite lesbians in the whole world, Teresa Cain and Lainey Parker, will be whorin’ their wares at JR’s. They offer great handcrafted jewelry for guys and gals, so pop in and browse their selection while cruising the corners for someone to give a pearl necklace. Oh wait, they don’t sell those.

JR’s, Dallas (But by now, you already knew where that is)
