Meet the Miss Subways Contestants!
AND
Join us for Open House NY 2017! Just a few of your 2017 Miss Subways contestants! You've seen the celebrity judges, now, meet some of the stellar contestants who will vie for the transit tiara in the [2017 Miss Subways Extravaganza](http://cityreliquary.org/miss_subways) on **September 28**. More contestants next week! [Tickets still available!](https://www.artful.ly/store/events/13129) As NYC's only Drag Queen Tour Guide, Glace has ridden all the trains. She'll take us on a subway husband hunt in song & spoken word. Dylan loves the G because everyone has to run to catch it. Dylan's performance is a vaudeville-style song called *Ride the G Train*, recalling the Cab Calloway big band smash, *Take the A Train*. Robert's favorite is the A train--when you pass out on it, you end up in the Rockaways! He'll play an original piece for banjo. Lady Aye has pursued her dreams as a 3rd-gen New Yorker, WTC survivor, NY Times correspondent, sideshow performer, and more. She'll be swallowing a sword to show her subway love!

Pam has been every subway line's bitch, so she'll compete as Miss Derailment! She'll twirl a baton and razzle-dazzle the audience. Bushwick artist Lisa Levy will perform a monologue about the role of the subway as a character in her life. She thinks it'd be great to have a menopausal woman as Miss Subways to celebrate women of all ages! ## More Upcoming Events Open House New York 2017 The Reliquary is proud to be part of Open House New York 2017.
