Snapshots: Kiss and Fly Opening Night with RuPaul

Kiss and Fly, the new gay nightclub in the Warehouse District, was packed to the gills on opening night. Despite the signage inside attesting to the contrary, the lines outside were massive—not surprising, given that legendary drag queen RuPaul was in attendance to kick things off, which she did with her trademark flair. Though not much actual dancing took place in the space where VICCI used to be—save for the nearly-naked hired dancers (boys and girls), whom guests were happy to ogle—we're attributing it to the standing-room-only crowd and resulting long lines at the bars.

I'm glad to hear the idea of another gay club opening, but this doesn't seem appealing. Austin doesn't need another place with shitty music. How many clubs do we need that play remixes of bad pop songs? Also, reading comments about the owners being anti-gay has definitely cemented into my mind that I will never step foot in this establishment.

Agreed. This seems out of place for Austin.

Crowd looks particularly tragic.

I like the pictures by Scott Miller. I'm especially glad there are no pictures of (alleged) Fashion Guru, I mean (alleged) arsonist Stephen Moser...that would be "particularly tragic!"
