Thursdays Go Into “Rehab” Tonight
According to Clarence Thompson, Thursdays will never be the same again. Thompson hopes to “rehabilitate” the weeknight and LGBT nightlife through Rehab Thursdays, a party in the city’s West End.
The party’s slogan – “We got your Rx for your pre-weekend jitters.”
El Tucanazo at 6008 W. Broad St. plays host to tonight’s event. According to Thompson, it’s the perfect place to party and get that pre-weekend fix.
“It’s a bigger venue than some other establishments in the area. They have a nice size dance floor two bars and also a stage great sound system ample parking and two rooms to party.”
He hopes for the night to blossom into a premier night for RVA and sees the potential fo an extended drag show and drag theater dinners. For tonight, doors open at 9 p.m. with music by Dream Team DJs. A show hosted by Zakia Jemaceye at 10:30 p.m. follows with drink specials until 11 p.m. Cover is $5 before 11 p.m.

That’s funny. When this place was Fuego, they had drag shows. Management killed it because they wanted a more straight audience. We’ll see how long this lasts.
This club is under new ownership. And the owner is cool with what happens as long as it is in the realm of guidlines for ABC in Richmond, Va. This is going to be a good spot and geard to the GLBT community.
Well Fuego was the Past and Rehab Thrusday’s is the Future, we are trying to spice up nightlife in RVA, we need the support of the community. Great music, drinks and shows. Check it out tonight!!!!
