Hold your horses, halo-polish your GPS, and read this twice, darling:
This month we are not at our usual Santa Rosa haunt! “Resist and Persist” Bingo is happening at the fabulous Sebastopol Center for the Arts in Sebastopol. That’s right — different town, different runway, same holy chaos. Do not show up at the Veterans Memorial Building looking confused and glittery. We love a dramatic entrance, but not at the wrong venue. Program those maps, text your coven, and go to the right sanctuary of sparkle!

Welcome to “Resist and Persist” Bingo, where the Sisters serve righteous rebellion with rhinestones, civil sass with sequins, and just enough holy mischief to keep democracy nervous. The Russian River Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are here to resist boredom, persist in fabulousness, and raise real-life funds with maximum sparkle and side-eye.

This month’s fierce and fabulous spotlight shines first on Sebastopol Center for the Arts, enriching Sonoma County through creativity since 1988. As a community-funded nonprofit, SebArts brings over 50,000 artists and art lovers through its doors each year with curated gallery exhibitions, youth art classes, ceramics studios, literary arts programming, and the acclaimed Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival. Every dollar raised goes directly back into the community — keeping programs accessible, ensuring no one is turned away for lack of funds, and supporting the artists and volunteers who make our cultural heart beat brighter. When you shout “Bingo!” tonight, you’re not just winning — you’re investing in the arts, darling.

Our second beneficiary is, of course, your glitter-clad guardians of gaiety, the Russian River Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Through joyful irreverence, radical inclusion, and a whole lot of lashes, the Sisters raise funds and spirits for our LGBTQIA+ community and beyond. Your participation helps fuel future fundraising, outreach, and fabulous public mischief in the name of love, visibility, and community care.

We encourage you to arrive dressed in your boldest interpretation of “Resist and Persist.” Protest chic? Rosie-the-Riveter realness? Glitter activist? Bedazzled ballot box? However you manifest resilience and radiance, bring it — the costume contest awaits. Snacks and drinks will be available for purchase, because revolution runs better with hydration and carbs.

Important proclamations from the Convent (aka rules):

• Players must be 18 or older. No exceptions.
• No alcohol in line or in the Bingo Hall. We’re here to persist with purpose, not wobble with regret.

• You must have your eTicket ready for admission — it’s your sacred scroll of entry.
• Online tickets are $35, and include entry for one person and two bingo card packs (each pack has one card for each of the six games). Extra bingo card packs will be available for $5 at the door.
• Doors open at 5:30pm. Games begin at 7:00pm. You must arrive before 6:30pm or your seat is liberated and reassigned to another freedom fighter.

Tonight, every “Bingo!” is a joyful act of resistance — supporting the arts, uplifting community, and proving that persistence pairs beautifully with glitter.

Now grab your dauber, darling. The revolution will be fabulously organized. ✨
