Fiesta San Antonio kicks into full force this weekend, and nothing screams Fiesta louder than a bunch of queens getting free shots. All kidding aside though, the WEBBB party has become among one of the must-do events when celebrating this long city tradition.
This year's theme is "A Grand Menagerie," and event coordinators invite you to come out in your favorite animal print, or animal masks or face paint. WEBB Party is this Friday, April 11 from 7:30pm to midnight at the Lambermont Estate located on 950 East Grayson Street.
WEBB is the single largest fundraiser for the San Antonio AIDS Foundation (SAAF), according to the organization's website. The event name came from an Ethiopian proverb stating, "When spider webs unite, they can tie up a lion." The founders were so moved by this, they named the event after it. Sadly, the word "web" was misspelled on the invitation, but the extra letter "be" somehow managed to stick around.
Although on person I asked referred to the event as "pointless and overpriced," attendees should keep in mind that 100-percent of the proceeds go to client services for SAAF. One San Antonio man, Enrique Garza, described his past experience at WEBB a great deal of fun.
"It was heartfelt to see so many gather together to help an incredible organization," Garza said. "You have your queens, drag queens, gays, lesbians, and those who don't know what they are, all there for a good cause, and to get fucked up."
Advance general admission tickets will be available online or at SAAF until noon on Friday for $75. You can expect to pay $90 at the door. You shouldn't feel bad about what seems like a steep price. The money raised goes to a good cause, and for those of you party animals, there's a full open bar, cuisine tasting from some of the coolest places in town, and live guest DJ's.
This party is only for ages 21 and over, so all you kids best get to scootin. So if you're going to have an awesome time, remember to drink responsibly. For more information on WEBB, you can go online to www.webbparty.net. See you kids there!
