Blame it on El Ni�a! Oh! That cross-dressing, gender-skewing bag of hot wind, wreaking havoc and turmoil on love lives and lust levels wherever she lights! No wonder all these women are going nuts! The force is too great! They must converge! They must meet! They must dance! It’s only natural! It’s best to heed the all-points bulletins issued by Cornerstone Gay & Lesbian Center: Club Skirt, The El Ni�a Skirt a party for and by women. Fri, Jan 30, 7-12pm Zilker Clubhouse $10 at the door

Who knows what kind of weather El Ni�a will bring? Either way, the skirts will be blowing, especially once deejay Lenne Degeddingsize commences spinning. 708-1515 or 477-2740.
