The Turnabout Show is the type of event that is a standing room only, must-see, everybody-will-be-there kind of happening. The concept is to take all the staff from the San Antonio Mining Company and reverse their gender for an evening of music, dance and big hair! This is the second year that the spectacle will grace the stage at the Mine and the proceeds will raise much needed dollars for people with AIDS.

One of the most impressive elements of the show is the process of putting this gala together. The staff solicits sponsors to pay for the extra marketing materials as well as plan outfits, wigs, dance numbers and the size fifteen women's shoes. Although novice gender benders, the staff really packs a crowd. And who would miss the chance to see your all-too familiar drink maker in a dress, stilettos and Very Berry lip liner?

Matt Ruff and Vince Karr, management at the Mine, are the masterminds behind this escapade. They are responsible for bringing out the inner woman or man in their employees. "We have three new people who have never done drag before. They are Alex, Robert and Diane. We will be putting them in dresses and trousers for their first time," said Matt. And you think your job is demanding?

Please join the fine ladies and gentlemen of the evening at the San Antonio Mining Company for some good old-fashioned cross-dressing. The event takes place on Wednesday, February 27, 2002 at 10:30 PM. Your presence and support will provide money for AIDS Project El Paso, a not-for-profit organization that provides very important emergency assistance funds for people living with AIDS.
