There's a whole slate of events lined up for this month, including a Masquerade Ga(y)la, a Genderf*ck Party, as well a smattering of study breaks and talks. The full schedule is expected to be uploaded here soonish.

In our inaugural photo contest, Bwog got many good submissions (this editor's Gmail quota is now three percent more depleted), which the great hive-mind of Bwog editors narrowed down to five nocturnal masterworks.

After the jump, we round out the top five.
