About Dragstrip 66:

DRAGSTRIP 66 is/was a long-running monthly queer dance club in LA.
Co-created by Mr. Dan (aka hostess Gina Lotriman) & DJ Paul V. (ex-Indie
103.1), Dragstrip launched in January 1993, and on the 2nd Saturday each
month spent its first 11 years at Rudolpho's of Silver Lake (RIP), then had
a short time at The Echo and Safari Sam's - and now happens with yearly
reunions at The Echoplex. It became a beloved gay community marker and an
"all-invited" home to unleash all forms of sexuality, self-expression, drag,
cross-dress, & masquerade.

The club celebrated its 17th Anniversary and Grand Finale as
a regular monthly event with "Hats All, Folks" in January 2010.

The LA Weekly and LA Times both wrote fantastic sendoffs:
- LAWeekly.com + LATimes.com

"Dragstrip 66 carved out a niche for those who liked their
night life tempo somewhere between a John Waters film,
a Bob Mackie fashion show & drunken punk dance party."
- Ramie Becker, LA Times
