Apex gives Beyonce the tribute treatment

beyonce.jpgEvery night in gay clubland, you’ll hear at least a Beyonce tune or three. But this Friday, April 17, at Apex, you’ll hear a lot more than that.

And also, that sounds like a mighty long party! Though technically, the latest you can work it out in the club is 4 a.m. What you do after that is up to you and your bootylicious baby boy.
