 Sam Adams' bike contingent at Pride 2009 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! Continue reading » As these things go, I’m going to try and deal with my hangover headache in new and inventive ways – recapping it! Last night saw a plethora of queer nights going on, as I’m sure you already knew. I’m sad I didn’t make it to Dirty Queer – I heard it was a great (and hot) evening of X Rated Open Mic debauchery.I also missed the Trans* Family Picnic. Oh well. You can’t be everywhere! But I seriously needed to take a breather and snuggle with my teddy bear (and blog and work and finish the QPDX.com banner and …) so I decided to skip DQ and attend my friend’s graduation-from-PCC-aftershindig at The Maiden, which serves some killer food, strong drinks and slightly annoying flamenco music. And there were plenty of queers there! Congratulations Marissa and Amber, job well done! Continue reading »  It's Portland Gay Pride - Parade Time! We’re nearing the end now folks! But there are still a few opportunities to get down and dirty and maybe even shake your tailfeather… Sunday is of course the day of the Pride Parade, which starts *around* 11:15 – Sunday corner of Broadway and Davis and goes down to the waterfront/Tom McCall Park. Watch for float no #94, that’s us, yours truly! And we have some amazing, stunning news for you- the elusive SuperGay has contacted us via a sekrit communication channel and announced that they will be supporting us by being part of our Pride Float!! We’re super excited for SuperGay – I, Perry, have to go see a man about a dog on Sunday, so I’m very glad SuperGay will sup-port us, geddit? OK, enough puns, y’all know the parade and afterparty at the park are the highlights of Sunday…stay hydrated! Continue reading » Just a quick update to let you know that tonight’s GAYCATION @ HOLOCENE will feature extra special guest DJ’s as well as performances by PASHLY! Continue reading »  Portland is Burning for BOYJOY at the Someday Lounge Thank gawd it’s Friday! Day 2 of Pride weekend. Are you ready? Because, girl, you’ve got a long way to go… Pride edition of this naughty poetry reading at In Other Words bookstore should be extra spicy. Trans Family Picnic Continue reading » T*Party at Peninsula Park is a friendly potluck for trans identified people, dragsters, genderqueers, gender variants and allies. It will be happening at Peninsula Park from 6pm until it’s dark. Bring food, drinks and games to share (there will be BBQs for cooking). Come and mingle and make some new friends!  Check out the amazing stack of queer performers lined up for Gender Bender @ The E-Room! This Thursday the yearly spectacle of the Gender Bender Variety Show will be coming to the E-Room! It looks like a spectacle not to be missed. The E Room is usually pretty insular, by this time they have cast a wide net to get some of the best most innovative queer performers that run the gamut from traditional drag to post-queer performance art to the E Room! It’s going to be hot, queer, and amazing, and for a good cause! Continue reading » Queer Portland Pride kicks it off @ Rotture TONIGHT Just a quick note: There will be a Pride “Jump-off” party tonight a@ Rotture. DJs Automaton (who is always a good time!), Girlfriends, Jenny Hayston. Tres Bux, party o’clock. Rotture is 315 SE 3rd ave, behind office depot or max or whatever that overpriced deskset junkyard is called. 21+, sorry kiddos. See you […]  BearTown 2007. Photo by Steve L. Your Pride schedule is already filling up, I know. But for the furries and and belly-lovers among us you really don’t want to miss this weekend’s BearTown 14: Carnival of Bears put on by the Oregon Bears. Indeed this celebration, amazingly in its 14th year, has much to much to completely profile but luckily the bears have cooked up some great highlights. (Oh yeah, and to hint yet again at the new qPDXer, and man about town, who will be covering several of these events as well…Is anticipation building yet?) Continue reading » It’s getting busy, folks. I know this by the fact that I am expected at 5 different events this Friday! Two are private events, but Pride is definitely heating up. We here at QPDX.com are going to try and cover as much as we can…so before you say “Hey! You didn’t mention/cover/go to/take photos of XYZ” remember there is only two of us (Adina is sadly out of town…). Continue reading » |
