Oilcan Harry's is Red Hot for Project Transitions Tonight

An Austin institution in itself, the annual Red Hot fundraiser benefits local nonprofit Project Transitions, which provides hospice and housing services for individuals and families living with HIV/AIDS in Central Texas. Seventeen years in the running, tonight's Red Hot returns to Oilcan Harry's with a massive gala that promises to surpass even last year's event, which had the distinction of being named Best Independent AIDS Fundraiser in the Austin Chronicle Best of Austin Critics Picks.

The $5 suggested donation at the door includes a lavish buffet spread; performances by the cast of Altar Boyz [read our review here], local charity divas Austin Babtist Women, and the Therapy Sisters; and DJs throughout the night. They'll also be providing over 150 silent auction goods and giving away tickets to the upcoming Kathy Griffin and Melissa Etheridge shows.
