Dolly Parton 80th Birthday Celebration
2026-01-18 13:00 - 16:00 (America/Chicago) | Hi-Tone, 282-284 N Cleveland St, Memphis, TN, 38104, United States
Our Dolly Parton birthday celebration at the Hi-Tone was an afternoon full of laughter and holy foolishness that had a real-world impact for our community. Thanks to the generosity of our incredible supporters, we raised over $1,000 for Books From Birth, the Shelby County, TN affiliate of Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, helping put free books into the hands of local children and families. That’s what happens when sacred silliness meets intentional service: joy becomes literacy, glitter becomes generosity, and Memphis gets a little brighter.

The Sainting of Brian "Skinny" McCabe
2026-01-18 15:00 - 15:30 (America/Chicago)
With great joy, we formally canonized our beloved Brian “Skinny” McCabe into Sainthood, affirming a life of joyful disruption lived in community. In the tradition of our sainted lineage, this honors not a title, but a testimony – recognizing the ways Skinny consistently shows up, builds connection, and helps create spaces where people are seen and sustained. Surrounded by chosen family and holy foolishness, we marked a moment that joins past, present, and future difference-makers in one shared legacy of love and action. Congratulations, Saint Skinny – your witness now stands among the saints who shape our house, our city, and our hearts.

What a night of sword play! Our Dildo Fencing Contest was a WILD success! You all showed up, the duels were fierce, and a champion was triumphantly crowned amid cheers and laughter. But the real victory? Together we raised $2,000 to support HIV prevention and care resources across the Mid-South provided by @friendsmemphis Proof once again that when community, nun-sense, and purpose come together… magic happens. Thank you to everyone who cheered, fenced, donated, and celebrated with us! YOU made it unforgettable! Extra thanks to the amazing burlesque performers Felicity Fox, Black Magick, and Pixie P Lafemme. The Hi-Tone for hosting and to Inz and Outz for donating the championship prizes!

MEM Pup Show
2026-04-11 22:30 - 2026-04-12 00:00 (America/Chicago)
Can leather Pups turn new tricks? Find out this Saturday at the MEM Pup Show, a fundraiser for Love Doesn’t Hurt. Pups will strut their stuff in an obstacle course, best sit pretty, and best look all while vying for the coveted Best In Show award. Join the Blue Suede Sisters and HOIST at The Pumping Station for a night of canine companionship and Pup play. $10 entry to the west patio. $5 to compete.
Contest details:
Agility: Pups will zigzag through cones, spin three (3) times, head down, around a pole, balance a bully stick on their muzzle for five (5) seconds, spin three (3) more times around the pole, and zigzag through the cones back to the starting line. Fastest course time will determine the category winner.
Training: Pups will walk across the arena, pose in their best “sit pretty”, and return to the starting line. Pups will be judged on the following criteria: gait, pose, and attitude. Handlers are welcome but will not affect the score.
Grooming: Pups will show off their best Pup look. Pups will walk across the arena to the announcer who will ask them about their favorite Pup things (food, toys, places to go, etc.). Pups may respond by barking or speaking. Pups will be judged on the following criteria: style, personality, and response to the question. Handlers are welcome but will not affect the score.
One winner will be awarded in each category. The overall top scorer will be awarded Best In Show.
