Q-Notes staff Charlohe It’s a sell out CHARLOTTE — Boys and girls, it’s offi cial. Drag Bingo was a sell out. In fact, the event was out of tickets within 30 minutes after opening up sales. However, the “Matt & Ramona Show” on 107.9 The Link — one of the presenting spon sors, — decided to auction off their reserved table to the highest bidder. On Nov. 20, Zuni Johnson and Jason McCraw were notified that they were the lucky winners. They got to hang out with Matt and Ramona during the evening’s festivities. The monies raised in the auction bid went to benefit the Regional AIDS Interfaith Network. Don’t be tardy for the party! CHARLOTTE — On Dec. 11, Hartigan’s Irish Pub, 601 S.

ASO continues to survive GREENVILLE — In a featured article in November in The Daily Reflector, Pitt County AIDS Service Organization (PiCASO) shared that it was considering closing due to more than a 30 percent budget shortfall. PiCASO is 18-years-old. According to the article, in 2008 it operated with $130,000. Board President Aaron Lucier said that they were look ing at ways to keep the ASO open, despite losing $25,000 from the United Way of Pitt County, among others. A board decision is expected soon if the shortfall can’t be met. They are cur rently at a $40,000 deficit. Not only has it had difficulties with funds, it has also had issues with stocking its, food pantry. PiCASO has already sent out 1,000 fundrais ing letters to those who were previous contribu tors. Unfortunately, they had not raised enough from that request to pay for the postage. According to PiCASO’s website, these are ways that the community can support them right now: Contribute; host a fundraiser: vol unteer; become a donor/group to provide office space for the agency next year (It will help the agency cut over $700 a month in costs. It needs a space with several private offices and preferably a direct entrance to the space.); and can goods and personal hygiene items for our food pantry. To lend support or to make a contribution, call 252-830-1660 or visit pica- so.org/newsite. Triangle Spaulding makes Out 100 DURHAM — Pam Spaulding has been blogging her way to political and social star dom since she began publishing tidbits of her life, thoughts and insight at Pam’s House Blend just five years ago.

With her team of citizen journalists, Spaulding documents LGBT politics, progres sive news and local and state issues other national news outlets sometimes miss. She’s honored in this year’s Out 100, a list of some of the nation’s most influential culture and society movers and shakers. “1 love reader feedback, including the bat- shit crazy right,” Spaulding told the national magazine. “The best way to blunt the hate is to embrace its lunacy, so I display the quotes as badges of honor.” Another North Carolina native, Chris Hughes, is also featured. From Hickory, Hughes went on to co-found Facebook and work as Barack Obama’s socialnetworking guru during his campaign for the White House. For more information, visit out.eom/outl00.
