A 1980s pop star, a former governor, a senate hopeful and an actress walk into a gay bar — to encourage people to vote on Election Day.

Cyndi Lauper and former Will & Grace star Debra Messing are heading to a bar crawl in Philadelphia’s Gayborhood on Friday. They’re joining former Gov. Ed Rendell and Democratic Senate hopeful Katie McGinty to hit some hot spots and urge folks to vote on Tuesday.

According to a Facebook posting, the get-out-the-vote tour is being organised by the Liberty City LGBT Democratic Club.

The festivities get under way at 9pm, with the four hitting six bars and changing locales every 30 minutes.

Campaigning in gay bars the weekend before an election is a bit of a tradition in the city, started by Rendell during his successful 1977 Philadelphia district attorney campaign.
