Bears do a switcheroo
BearDance steps out with a new Dallas Pride event. In the first Switch Party, the bears take over Sue Ellen’s for a night to dance the night away with Bearhaus DJ Blaine Soileau at the helm. The ladies

will head to TMC: The Mining Company to let the bears play while they raise money for AIDS Arms. Sounds good all around.

DEETS: Sue Ellen’s, 3014 Throckmorton St. 9 p.m. $15. BearDance.org.
