Ex-Bartender Advances In Gay Idol
Judith “As if Idol isn’t gay enough” Weirauch (pictured), a former bartender who fled the Denver bar scene nine months ago to pursue her dream of going to grad school, won last night’s preliminary round of Gay Idol at @mosphere Bar (5355 N. Clark St.).
Judith brought down the house with a killer rendition of Janis Joplin’s Cry Baby and walked away with $100.
Second place went to James (no last name-pictured with Judith below) who squeezed out a victory singing New York, New York. James won tickets to Broadway in Chicago’s Avenue Q.
Judith and James advance to the semi-finals to be held 
Saturday, May 31, at Sidetrack (3349 N. Halsted) where they will compete against winners from eight other Chicago bars and the winners from a wild card round.
Semi-final winners, which Judith is sure to be among, compete for a $1000 Grand Prize and other prizes Friday, June 13 at Circuit Night Club (3641 N. Halsted).
Go Judith!
