Yeah, that's my default but I wasn't sure if there were any special events for the finale or anything.

I'm going to try to attend tonight's performance at Roscoe's, but if anyone has any better recommendations then I'll probably show up :)
The one at Roscoe's has Alaska Thunderfuck, Trannika Rex, and Frida Lay. I haven't heard of Frida, but I've heard that Trannika is a hilarious MC and Alaska is, obviously, Alaska.

e: I moved to the area literally last week, so I can be your New In Town buddy but I can't help you find anything that isn't on Google, unfortunately!

The Roscoe viewings from what I've heard, and what they've uploaded of the guests talking during commercial, are excellent. Probably packed tho, go early.

Same boat here! Going to the Van bar viewing alone, but it's worth it to watch the finale with likeminded people.

Besides, I know who the top two are and want to see how people react to the first lip syncs. May record reactions!

My husband had to remind me that the finale is tonight. He's team Shea, I'm team Sasha. Let's see if this episode ends in divorce.

Roscoe's is definitely the best option for viewing, my friends and I are going to try Sidetrack instead because we don't have time to get to Roscoe's early.

A happy drag superbowl to you all.

I don't care who wins I just hope there is a dreadful Charlie Hides 'redemption' lip sync and that Alexis Michelle continues to lower her stock in the booking market through her magically terrible way of interacting with people.

I feel like Ru's makeup is off. Like, it's put together, but it doesn't feel right.

Also, I'm so over these illusion gloves with the nails. Glue some Lee Press On's and be done with it.

I was just listening to the original version of It's Not Right, But It's OK the other day and didn't even think about the iconic remix. Got my loving life for the rest of the year just now. Sasha earned that motherfucking crown. I can only imagine how crazy it was in the clubs tonight.



Also, Sasha is up there with Bianca as the only two queens who won and didn't have to lip sync all season. Props to that.

Obtuse.....even hokey.
As someone who was rooting for a Shea win "It's Not Right, but It's Okay" pretty much perfectly sums up my feelings on the result. That "So Emotional" lip sync was really good though.

Not sure it's shady or what, but Valentina co opting the Rose emote knowing Sasha was going pull out all those petals for the Lipsync... It's something.

that was an amazing finale. Thank you to chaotic flame for humoring my and my friend's drunk behinds. he is chill.

if you are less than 5'3 then do not try to drink Shea Coulee's signature drink at Roscoe's. you will be too drunk. but if you are short, you can edge near the stage and no one will ever be the wiser.

Sasha's first performance as reigning queen was Home from The Wiz. Her lipsyncs are beautiful.

Trinity worked it out seriously. Definitely want to see her perform again.

Bianca and Bob also seriously read Valentina to filth up on the stage.

I wasn't a fan of Sasha during the season but those rose petals have converted me.

Also am I missing something or was Katy Perry kind of random for a celebrity well wisher?

She just put out an album and is a little desperate for sales since it has been torn to shreds by critics. So... random, but also she probably paid money for the plug.

I audibly gasped at Peppermint's reveal. That was possibly the most artful wig change I've ever seen.

And I LOVED Sasha's outfit for the second lip sync. I know it's a dorky way to phrase it, but it made me think of a white-mana-based Phyrexian. Something like this:



Very elegant, but with a touch of the weird.

Overall, I think it was such a close finish that I can't say if Peppermint or Sasha truly deserved it more, but I've been a fan of Sasha's throughout the season, so I'm happy with the results (and also because this means the Lip Sync Assassin will be able to drop more bodies in All-Stars).

I'm glad Sasha never had to lip sync, because it made it even more amazing to see those performances without much prior exposure to her style.

TBH, Sasha was probably my least favorite of the top 4 throughout the season. But the past few weeks, since the ball that she should've won, she grew on me. I am completely on board with this crowning. People are gonna say she's less deserving because she only won two challenges, and jointly. But she was robbed for the ball win anyway, and this is Ru making amends for that. :colbert:

I really didn't like the format of the finale. I feel that Shea or Trinity deserved the win, but they were eliminated right then and there. Of the two, Sasha was the better performer, but out of the top four I don't think she deserved it.
Her "I'm a weird kid!! I'm really brainy you guys. P.S. ~a~r~t~" shtick was wearing on me.

Oh yeah, she hired some drag race alumni to dance at one of her gigs as well now that I think about it. Props to Sasha for managing to look enthused.

I'd have given it to Peppermint given that last lip sync but Lord knows I didn't see the entire thing so whatever. The rose reveal and wig reveal were both delightful. Hooray for drag.
