CHICAGO — You can get a different kind of buzz going at The Owl next week.

Personal PAC, which supports pro-choice political candidates in Illinois, is hosting a vibrator race on Feb. 12 at The Owl, 2521 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Logan Square. Proceeds from the event will be used by the political action committee to fund pro-choice causes and candidates.

Attendees will be able to pick a vibrator bearing the photo of an anti-choice politician and then watch it “race” down the track. Those who back the winning vibrators will win small prizes.

The event is from 6-9 p.m. Feb. 12 at The Owl. Tickets are $2 each, $15 for 10 or $20 for an arm’s length. You can RSVP online on Facebook.
