Midwest Access Coalition

Still kicking yourself for having missed the Beyonce & Whitney rollerskating sessions? Not to worry: next weekend offers another glorious chance for hive members to have a blast while also saluting Queen Bey and supporting a worthy cause.

The Midwest Access Coalition, which helps bring financially burdened out-of-towners to Chicago for abortion access, is throwing their fall fundraiser this weekend, dubbed Bey bingo, and it sounds like they've got all the right spaces tiled.

Admission ($30 in advance/$35 at the door) covers an open bar, with beer provided by Revolution Brewing plus the "signature" cocktail Lemonade (natch). You also of course get to partake in bingo games, which will be called by none other than Steve Badauskas, he of the legendary "Stingo" tradition at Bernice's Tavern. (Prizes include "an assortment of cute stuff you actually want.")

There's also a Beyonce drag performance, and attendees are encouraged to wear their best Beyonce-inspired attire (click here for inspiration). It goes down Saturday, Sept. 30 at the Reunion Chicago event space (2557 W. North Ave.), from 7 to 10 p.m.
