That means it will be

SPOOK-TACULAR!

The beneficiary of this year's event will be the HIV/AIDS programs at the CARE Network at Queen of the Valley Hospital. With all the state budget cuts and the economic downturn it's more important than ever that we support their efforts!

faq (frequently asked questions)

"So, what's the address of the Guerilla Gay Bar in Napa"

Actually, that's why the organization exists -- there are no gay bars in Napa County. We "invade" a "straight" establishment and "turn it gay for the day".

"Do I have to be LGBT to come to one of your events?"

ABSOLUTELY NOT! We welcome EVERYONE looking to enjoy a fabulous evening out in the Napa Valley. All we ask is that you treat your fellow troops, the employees of the venue & the property with respect.

"Why is it spelled 'Guerilla' and not 'Guerrilla' or 'Gorilla'?"

First, we're not animals! 'Gorilla' is the spelling for "the largest of living primates". We use "unconventional techniques in the form of ambushes and raids" when making our targets "gay for a day".

So, why do we drop the extra 'R'? Well, the dictionary allows for both spellings and we think it just looks better with one R.
