CALENDAR It’s that time of month, Eugene, when frolicsome fun meets a good cause at “Made in the USA,” the offi cial Wednesday night LGBTQ Happy Hour at the Barn Light that also functions as a fundraiser for selected LGBTQ charities across the country. February’s featured state is Louisiana which, ac- cording to event organizer John O’Malley, promises to be a humid little slice of New Orleans-style fun: “Louisiana! Laissez les bons temp rouler! Gumbo! King cake! LGBTQ-history specialty cocktails! Sur- prise performances! Queen of Mardis Gras Float- obooth! Zydeco music and more!” Don’t believe it? Just look at that smile on O’Malley’s face during last month’s festivities, which focused on Kansas while poking fun at Westboro Baptist Church. Made in the USA (Feelin’ Great, State by State) LGBTQ Happy Hour kicks off 6 pm and goes late Wednesday, Feb. 4, at The Barn Light; donations at the door will help support LGBTQ activities in Louisiana, though admission is free.
