The history of DRAGSTRIP 66:

DRAGSTRIP 66 is/was a long-running monthly queer dance club in Los Angeles.
Co-created by Mr. Dan (aka hostess Gina Lotriman) & DJ Paul V. (ex-Indie 103.1),
Dragstrip 66 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 has been at The Echoplex since 2008.

Dragstrip 66 became a beloved gay community marker and an "all-invited" home
to unleash all forms of sexuality, self-expression, drag, cross-dress, & masquerade.

* Just Announced *
"DRAGSTRIP 66 - THE FROCKUMENTARY"
We are in the beginning stages of creating a Dragstrip 66 documentary.
We'll be filming the grand finale on January 12th, then we'll start archiving video,
patron interviews, club photos and other materials related to the club's history.

Dragstrip 66 mounted its 17th Anniversary and Grand Finale as
a regular monthly event with "Hat's All Folks" in January 2010.

The LA Weekly and LA Times both wrote fantastic sendoffs:

- http://www.latimes.com/theguide/bars-and-clubs/la-et-night7-2010jan07,0,3897754.story

"Mini-skirted man-mobs in Technicolor wigs, sky-high heels and falsies (lashes and
otherwise) practically mauled each other to get in — and often mauled each other once
inside, too. The most wonderfully outrageous mix of gay, bi, straight, curious clubsters
converged on the dance floor." - Lina Lecaro, LA Weekly

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