Thursday nights are generally continual favorites in Portland. Few not exclusively gay clubs choose to regularly give up their weekend slots for queer events but Thursday is up for grabs and, really, you can make it through one more day…
This Thursday’s Booty: Portland’s queer party for the piratecore at Porky’s pub on North Lombard is a singles night. (The website hasn’t been updated for this event but trust me, it’s happening) And while I might generally be wary of such an themed evening Booty is probably the best up-and-coming queer weekly in town, so it’s definitely worth the trip up there on the Max. Be wary though, Booty is not so new that it hasn’t been discovered, so Porky’s tiny walls fill in fast after 10 o’clock hour.
The second event are local self-proclaimed “gayest band in the universe” T-ReXXXa with Cat Hole, at the E-Room (Egyptian Club), Portland’s only ladies dive. Apparently the first 25 folks to ask for it get a free Cat Hole CD. I cannot substantiate this rumor. Show is from 8-10, with dancing (surely?) afterword. But you can probably still scoot up to Booty at the show’s end if you’re intent on catching both nights. Because the E-room hasn’t updated their calendar either, you may begin to doubt the validity of my claims that these events are actually happening. Well, here’s the Craiglist post to prove it is. Beware as it contains a swear word. Just fyi… Craiglist is another great resource for finding out what’s going on.
The Eroom is called The Weird Bar. Is this an old post?
Super old post. SEO plugin went rogue. It should be fixed now.
