Why You Should Lose Your Voice at Wang Chung’s at Least Once
Because sometimes, the best way to come together is to belt it out together.
Last night’s Musical Bingo at Wang Chung’s wasn’t just a game—it was a glitter-soaked, melody-filled moment of pure community magic. From the second we heard “Shut Up and Dance” during our UP & DOWN round to the chaotic joy of singing every “na na” and “oh oh” in GA-GA-OO-NA-NA, it was clear: the gays of Honolulu know how to throw a Wednesday night party. And let’s be honest, few things feel as good as locking eyes with a stranger across the bar while screaming the same nonsense lyric with absolute conviction.
But it’s not just about the songs—it’s about the space. Places like Wang Chung’s give our community more than cocktails and catchy tunes. They give us a living room where we can show up as ourselves, whether we’re in full glam or just rolled off the beach in a tank top. This space is vital: not just for fun, but for connection, celebration, and release. Because when you’re surrounded by people who get it, even a round of Musical Bingo becomes an act of joy-fueled resistance.
So, here’s your gentle reminder, Honolulu gays: keep showing up. Keep singing. Keep turning out for the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully queer. Because Hawaii is more than a place—it’s a state of mind. And sometimes, that state of mind sounds a lot like Cher, Gaga, and the That’s What I Call Regret playlist at full volume.
