JOIN RA SUSHI FOR THE 2009 NICKY’S WEEK BARTENDER MIX-OFF BATTLE TO RAISE MONEY FOR ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S RESEARCH HOSPITAL


RA Sushi Bar Restaurant announces the contenders for the 2009 Nicky’s Week Bartender Battle to benefit St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.


In one corner, weighing in at “none of your business,” is nightlife literary wildcat and grand dame of the nightlife world, Xania “The Queen of Clubs” Woodman.


In the competing corner, weighing in at “shut your mouth,” is one of Las Vegas’ kings of the LGBT castle, Earl “Entourage” Shelton.


These two Vegas VIPs will have to duke it out in a battle of the mixologists in the RA Sushi ring to see who can raise the most money for Nicky’s Week to benefit St. Jude. Woodman and Shelton will have one hour to make as many drinks as possible for the fundraiser. All sales of beverages during the battle hour including tips will be donated to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. At the end of the hour, RA judges will deliberate and announce a RA Sushi bartender battle winner. The winner will receive bragging rights and validation for raising money for a great cause.
