Since Napa has no real gay bar, a group of friends called Team Guerrilla bounce around the valley hosting what they call the Napa Guerrilla Gay Bar. The idea is simple: to descend on a local pub or bar and make it “gay for a day” with fabulous fashion sense and even more fabulous dancing. So far, the group has turned the disco out at watering holes as varied as Henry’s Cocktail Lounge, Jonesy’s at the Napa airport, Compadres Rio Grille, Bardessono, the Centre Cafe and Pancha’s in Yountville. It’s not just in good fun, either—the idea raises awareness of a gay community in Napa along with thousands of dollars for the Napa Valley AIDS Walk. Hosted by Kellie Green from the Vine 93.3-FM, the walk features sponsored teams in Halloween costumes, raffles, balloons, horse rides and DJ Rotten Robbie. Better yet, it supports HIV services at the Queen of the Valley hospital in Napa, and it all happens on Saturday, Oct. 31, at the Lincoln Theater. 100 California Drive, Yountville. 10am. Free. 707.738.4040.Gabe Meline
