One of my all-time favorite birthdays was celebrated at the AIDS Fund\\u2019s monthly Gay BINGO. GayBINGO is the fabulous, irreverent, campy, wildly popular monthly event that has been entertaining Philadelphia audiences for over 20 years while raising emergency funds for those living with HIV. GayBINGO is hosted by the infamous Bingo Verifying Divas (BVDs!) \\u2013 a wild bunch of drag queens who entertain the crowd with their wacky humor and always outrageous costumes. GayBINGO promises to be an evening of unbridled fun, complete with ridiculous musical numbers, hilarious drag queen antics, chances to win fabulous prizes, all for a good cause. I interview Robb Reichard, Executive Director of the AIDS Fund and Bingo Verifying Diva Stella D\\u2019Oro (AKA Tim Johnson, Associate Director of AIDS Fund).
