Pride may be the gayest time of year but Portland gets another shot at a week of all queer all the time (well, that might be all year truthfully) when the Portland Lesbian and Gay Film Festival rolls into town at the summer’s end.
This year’s fest seems a bit short and sparse but there’s sure to be some gems stuffed in there. I’ll be previewing each night and offering reviews when possible.

 These are apparently gay celeb frontrunners, though I haven't a clue who they are...
One may have thought that, by now, the golden age of reality television would have passed. But with a slow economy, a writer’s strike, and an insatiable prurient interest in other people’s squabbles, drama, and (non?) lives, the reality TV market only keeps expanding. We already have Real Housewives of… in several locations, and now we’re going to get some gay men in on the wealthy one income scene with an upcoming show on Logo.

The very first order of business upon returning from Mexico late last night is most certainly tonight’s dueling Dirty Dancing flash mob celebrations at the two most infamous gay nights in town, Gaycation and Blow Pony. Holocene’s night will begin at midnight at Blow Po goes down at 1am. Below is an instructional video from Gaycay’s Mr. Charming and the always-performing Max Voltage. Watch and you’ll be ready to […]
Lady Gaga accept the award for Best New Artist from a befuddled looking Eminem
In case any of you missed last weekend’s Lady Gaga performance on MTV’s Video Music Awards, here’s a clip courtesy the music monolith. Gaga is bringing the world of weird, queer performance art to mainstream culture. And it is amazing my friends.
Lady Gaga – New Music – More Music […]
Pants-Off Productions is launching our next project: Homomentum: a monthly queer cabaret. The show is a bastard offspring of Kick/Ball/Change and Homos Got Talent, and we would love to encourage a diversity of performers, with a focus in dance, burlesque & performance art, to be a part of this gay new venture! Homomentum will take over the E-room (3701 SE Division) every 2nd Saturday of the month starting Oct. 10th. Each month will have a different theme, which we hope will inspire creativity! Below are the themes and a little explanation of what we have in mind (but we want to empower performers to put their own spin on it.)

 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.

While we will all miss the antics of batsh*t crazy Paula Abdul on American Idol, her zany dyke replacement, Ellen Degeneres, will probably also serve up some pretty good times. I’m excited to see her interactions with fellow judges Simon Cowell, Kara DioGuardi and Randy Jackson.
DeGeneres told EOnline:

Last night’s show featuring ex-Tribe 8 member Lynnee Breedlove was a welcome interim into a night of rockin’ bands. The kind of show I have not had the pleasure of attending in awhile. And while the appearance of Mighty Real tour partner Silas Howard was missed Breedlove’s opposite of stripping one-(wo)man-show was an enjoyable tribute to gender non-conformity, personal anecdote and two recently passed leaders of the gay and lesbian movement, Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon.

 Rai Villanueva in action
Aerosol artist Rai Villanueva has been getting increasing attention these days with pieces blowing up all 5 of Portland’s “quadrants,” most recently as part of the 10 day Manor of Art festival. But this weekend the energetic newcomer will be taking over the E Room (3701 SE Division) at 8pm with Rose City RagBag, a celebration of her solo work. Featuring live painting, raffles and various forms of performance the night is much more than an opening.

Some of the most memorable shows in my La Luna-laden high school experiences were the ones featuring uber-dyke band Tribe 8. They were punk-as-f*ck and gave off so much energy my teenage heart nearly exploded. Alas now the 90s are gone and I am grown. So too have the members of Tribe 8 grown into more complex artists than they were before.
Two former members, dreamy Silas Howard and silly Lynnee Breedlove are once again bringing their amazing energy to a Portland stage tomorrow night with Mighty Real at Plan B (1305 SE 8th Ave) at 8:30pm.
