Teller's to celebrate Family Night tradition
Specials and prizes planned in honor of two-year anniversary
By Hannah Naughton Kansan staff writer
It's been two years since Teller's, 746 Massachusetts St., began its weekly transformation into a gay bar, so they're throwing a birthday party.
Lisa Brunner,
Teller's manager,
was the founder
of the Tuesday
night tradition
of Family Night.
In its honor, she
has planned a
celebration for
tonight.
"Mostly it's just going to be a celebration with lots and lots of people there," she said.
A family is a unit in which a group of people is there for one another
The whole idea behind Family Night is to redefine the meaning of family, said Sara Collas, Cleveland Heights, Ohio, graduate student and Family Night customer.
Time to celebrate
Teller's Family Night celebration
there wasn't anything for gays or lesbians to do on a regular basis," Brunner said.
Brunner said she was planning on having a huge crowd tonight. Teller's will offer drink specials and hold a drawing for two dinners for two at Teller's in honor of the two-year birthday.
When: tonight, 9 p.m.
Where: Teller's,
"A friend of mine is HIV positive, and his family has completely disowned him," she said. "He has had to redefine what his life is."
"I just asked a manager, 'Can I make Tuesday night gay night?' Brunner said. "After the fourth week it was packed. We have a regular clientele that is here every Tuesday night."
When Teller's began its Tuesday night transformations, it was the only gay bar in Lawrence, Brunner said.

in mutually caring relationships, Collas said. Family night tries to provide a place for this.
The atmosphere at Teller's during Family night is different from most gay bars, Brunner said.
"It's a gay and lesbian environment but in a
straight world," she said. "The environment is maybe a little bit more open than a gay bar."
She said she also liked Family Night because it wasn't an exclusively gay atmosphere. Of the 90 employees of Teller's, most are straight, but they all have been supportive of the idea of family night.
"An interesting thing happens in Teller's," Collas said. "People begin to enter for Family Night anywhere from 9 p.m. on. The clientele who have been dining and drinking during Tellers regular hours begin exiting. The boundaries cross between gay and straight."
