Visual AIDS - the only national arts organization offering professional support to artists living with HIV and AIDS or their estates and
the organization that developed the Red Ribbon and Day With(Out) Art - presents one of the hippest, downtown fundraising events of the year: A
Big Hairy Deal -- Part Deux. The first A Big Hairy Deal benefit raised over $2500 for Visual AIDS -- this
year we want to double it (or hey, triple it), so come out and get beautiful for a good cause.
Your host for the evening is Yolanda, the infamous drag queen singer songwriter with a big mama soul voice - teamed with blues/rocker Robert Urban for a soulful sound of joy. Larry Flick of Billboard Magazine describes Yo: "...radiates joy and warm spirituality...a sincere drag queen with a rich baritone voice...a wildly charismatic tunesmith." Don't miss the opportunity to catch a special performance by the recently named Outmusician of the Year 2003!
