I don't have a driving need to do Baton, but if that's what the
gang wants to do, I'm in. :)

This would be fine with me.

This is fine with me, with some caveats. It's very mainstream and
may be uncomfortable for newbees. They do enforce a "business
casual at minimum" dress code and have mandatory coat check. They
did not make me check my light jacket, but did make me check my
coat on another occasion.

I keep hearing rumblings about some kind of "upstairs gay bar" in
the area which has absorbed some of the Gentry business. I can
look into that was well. Any Pinkfesters know what place I'm
talking about?
