 PNCA Queer Art Show
I often lament Portland’s lack of a dedicated contemporary art museum, but like most projects, PDX espouses a more DIY attitude. We may not have an institution but we have plenty of local contemporary art, much of which is helmed by queers.
Three upcoming shows around town have have queer themes, though all are very different.

I have only been in attendance once or twice but I’ve been excited about new queer upstart Delicious for some time now. Not quite a brand newbie but still so fresh and so clean resident DJs Jimme Jamma and Stormy have been tearing up a nicely mixed, but refreshingly male energized, Crown Room (205 NW 4th) for a couple months now.

Portland may have the largest population of queers and the biggest Pride celebration in the state, you don’t have to be a city dweller to have Pride.

“We have concluded that there is no evidence to charge, let alone convict, Adams with illegal sexual contact with a minor,” according to Kroger’s investigation.
In addition, the report found no evidence that Adams’ 2008 mayoral campaign violated the law when Adams denied having sexual relations with the young man.

 QBoy will be at Crown Room Thursday June 18th
I know we’re all barely recovered from Pride, but tomorrow already sees two great competing nights out.
The queer party at the Crown Room (205 NW 4th), Delicious, has been a laid back dance party sensation for a few months now, but this Thursday the party steps it up with rhymes coming all the way from the UK with a live performance by queer rapper QBoy.

Now that we are all finally recovered from our hangovers it’s time to reflect on the weekend. It was a wild success that saw the gorgeous Miss Sabel Scities win Portland’s Drag Race, 115 floats, thousands of attendees, very few protesters and about a million parties.
Below are my weekend highlights but we really want to hear yours, so comment below!
