BLACK
& WHITE BEACH BALL RAISES $50,000
The Black & White Beach Ball, a fundraiser for the CAMP Rehoboth
Community Center Project (CRCCP) was the place to be the weekend of June
1st. The event, which was held at the Atlantic Sands Hotel, marked the
second year in a five-year plan to raise one million dollars for the
construction and development of the GLBT Community Center building. CAMP
Rehoboth’s board of directors recently purchased the property at 39
Baltimore Avenue, the future site for the center.

CHRISTOPHER
PETERSON’S “EYECONS” CELEBRATES 5th YEAR IN REHOBOTH
If you don’t know who Christopher Peterson is, or haven’t heard of
his one-man show at the Renegade, you’ve been hiding under a rock for
the past five years-a very large rock! Singing praises in this column
won’t do the show justice. You have to see it for yourself to believe
it. Meanwhile, here’s what you need to know about this incredible
slice of entertainment:
In
the show, called Eyecons, Peterson impersonates some of the greatest
female personalities of the 20th century. (Don’t assume that you’ve
“seen it all before.” If you haven’t seen Peterson’s take on
these personalities, go see it now!
Peterson
uses his own voice for each and every character. (Just wait ‘til you
hear him sing.)
Eyecons
runs every Friday at 10 p.m., Saturday at 9 p.m. and Sunday at 10 p.m.
at the Renegade. Admission is $10 per person. (Arrive early because
it’s always a crowded house.)
Peterson
has created three distinct shows, with different characters in each one.
(Which means you’ll have to go back more than twice. But trust me,
you’ll want to go back.)
Finally,
expect to laugh. A lot.
It’s
hard to believe entertainment this good exists in our little town of
Rehoboth. The truth is, Eyecons wouldn’t be in its 5th year if it were
anything less than amazing. So get off your butts and head out to the
Renegade. You’ll be glad you did.
LOVE

IT’S
ALL ABOUT TEA, AT YUM YUM
This summer, Yum Yum (37 Wilmington Avenue) is making big changes on
Sunday night. Thanks to the enormous popularity of its Sunday Tea Dance
from 5-8 p.m., the Pan Asian Bistro is halting its Sunday dinner service
so that the Tea Dance crowd may have full access to both the outside
courtyard and the air-conditioned indoor restaurant area. This means
less congestion and more room for dancing and socializing. But patrons
of Sunday’s Tea won’t be dancing on an empty stomach. Appetizers are
available and a new, hot hors d’oeuvres bar has been added with a
number of tasty treats, including pasta, chicken skewers and fresh
shrimp. Stop by every Sunday from 5-8 p.m. for a cool ending to your hot
weekend.
GOT
BEACH BOOK?
The
10th annual summer phone directory, The Beach Book, will be available on
Saturday, June 22nd. Pick up your copy at CAMP Rehoboth (39 Baltimore
Ave.) or on Poodle Beach from you know who. $1 donation for each book
suggested.
