qPDX on gaycation

Team Dresch

I hate to do this to you folks. I’ve been a bit frantic of late in general, my co-editor has become entrenched in the wilds of Reed College and the newbies are most certainly not yet up to speed. And yet, this is the time I choose to leave you, unattended, for 10 whole days. Now behave while I am away, and I will try to post little bits of my gaycation ephemera but who knows when I will see an internet cafe in the wilds of the jungle. So I make no promises.

But before I leave, a quick look back at this weekend’s Q Center Fundraiser, photos by Just Out’s Marty Davis as well as some snaps from the Dirty Duck‘s last days.

You’ve also got lots to prepare for and look forward to. MusicFest NW‘s queer themed show this coming Saturday the 19th at Rotture (315 SE 3rd). A double reunion of Team Dresch, featuring all original members as well as Erase Errata, and featuring locals The Lovers, Forsorcereres, and Sei Hexe this is a dyke dreamboat bill not to be missed. Except, alas, I am. I can’t believe it. But we will try to send a representative for pictures and review purposes.

I will, however, be back in time for Portland’s 13th Annual Lesbian and Gay Film Festival which begins October 2nd at Cinema 21 (616 NW 21st Ave). The films are already announced so check ’em out!
