GO: Drive ‘N Drag Saves 2021 It’s not the only drag show of the week (see feature, next page), but at least this one allows in-person attendance. Drag drive-ins were one of the most novel pandemic pivots, particularly in Portland, which saw the legendary Darcelle perform at Zidell Yards and local queens entertain customers waiting for pickup orders at Shine Distillery. This tour, however, is perhaps the biggest application of the concept, with appearances by recent RuPaul’s Drag Race contestants Rosé and Gottmik, the latter being the first transgender man to ever compete on the show.
