Columbia drag club closes as COVID-19 deals blow to economy
When Muffie Beaverhausen walked into Yin Yang Bedtime Club, Columbia’s sole kingly performance bar, the Saturday before the city recorded its first case of the coronavirus, she knew.
She’d been hearing some mumbles about the disease, she said. People were buying Walmart out of toilet paper, people were scared. But she, like many others, couldn’t imagine it’d be such a huge deal - things were going to be decent, she thought.
“Then I walked into the bar on a Saturday night when there were usually 150 to 200 people in there … and we had 36 people,” Beaverhausen, a Yin Yang DJ and former drag queen, said. “And I went, oh shit, we’re done.”
Manager Jeff Davis got the bar’s staff together the next Tuesday. The capital was recommending groups of 50 people or less, he told them. He decided it’d be foremost to just close until the whole thing blew over. Hopefully it’d be fast, he said.
Two months later, on Wednesday, it hadn’t blown over, and the bar decided to close its doors for good. On Friday evening, the club used a Facebook live broadcast to put on one last show.
