this month we’re diving into the deepest, darkest depths for Creature VI: H2OHHH. if you’ve ever watched even one ocean documentary you know how queer it gets down there -- creepy-beautiful things that make it work under a lot of pressure, cute bioluminescent head pieces, more tentacles than you’d know what to do with …
we also have another very special guest: DJ Riff-Raff is coming down from Seattle where they throw one of the west coast’s most beautiful queer af parties -- night crush.

for the uninitiated: creature is a collaborative project, a night for all queer bodies (and legit allies) to come together, get close and sweat. we feature an eclectic mix of performers, music (synth pop/ future club/ house/ techno/ punk/ && beyond), installations and projections -- all to keep your mind constantly spinning.
brought to you w/ love by the creature crew (YSC, Skin, iamMom, Jerry Lee and Gossip Cat)
*~*~*~* each month, we donate a percentage of the door to an organization that reflects our queer values. this month, we recognize the very real likelihood that congress will vote to strip health care away from millions of americans -- a move that will affect the most vulnerable the hardest. with that in mind, this month we’re donating a portion of our door to Lyon-Martin Health Services, which “provides excellent health care to heterosexual women, bisexual women, lesbians and transgender people in a safe and compassionate environment, with sensitivity to sexual orientation and gender identity; all services are regardless of ability to pay.” *~*~*~*
PLZ NOTE AND COME RIGHT: creature is a celebration of all queer bodies. it is a safer space for self expression and coming together. that means we will not put up with any sort of anti-blackness, racism, ableism, fatphobia, transphobia, misogyny, femmephobia, xenophobia, islamophobia, ageism, etc. etc. we are not about to let bigots ruin our good time or yours.
ACESSIBILITY INFO: There are two steps leading up to the club at the entrance on Harrison near Gordon. There's a second entrance that is wheelchair accessible on the corner of Harrison and 9th. If you'd like to use this entrance, you can, at any time, ask the staff at the Gordon entrance to open it up. Or, if you'd rather, please feel free to reach out to us here and we can coordinate to make sure there's somebody stationed at the Ninth Street door for your arrival.
A ramp with a slight incline connects the dance floor and the main bar area. None of the bathrooms are gendered and there is one, larger single-use bathroom. However, none of the restrooms at the moment are equipped with handlebars. The Stud Collective is working to make their bathrooms more accessible in the near future, and we'll be sure and keep our party updated with those details.
Please, if this doesn't provide enough information for you or we've missed something, let us know. We'll get back to you ASAP and post any new info here.
