Tie One On Early

The LGBT community loves a party. Not just the main event, but also the pre-party, the gala pre-party announcement pre-party, the VIP donor and sponsor party, the after-party and the pre-party/main-party recap after-party held two weeks later.

And we attend every one.

This Friday, Black Tie Dinner hosts a sneak-peek celebration at the 2013 Black Tie Dinner B4 Black Silent Auction Preview Party.

Even if you don’t have tickets to the big dinner, you’re welcome to be a part of this always fun soirée. New York City DJ, actor and emcee Patrick Kuzara (above) will provide entertainment, raffle tickets for a 2014 Mercedes-Benz CLA will be sold, and vodka cocktails and martinis will be provided by Grey Goose Vodka.

Best of all, it’s free.

And you can leave the tux in the closet.
