Rachel Carns, the energetic and effervesant drummer for The Need, the always impeccably dressed with dark yet somehow not completely sinister eye makeup, has been bravely battling breast cancer. And, like most musicians, even Beth Ditto before she became a household name, medical bills from having little or no insurance are piling up.

Homo's Got Talent winner achieved the spot with sweet snacks to the tune of "Do I Look Like a Slut?"
I’m still digesting the full brunt of last night’s amazing Homo’s Got Talent dance-off competition so a review is forthcoming.
However, I can tease all of you who weren’t there and provide happy memories to those of you who were with a plethora of titillating talented homo […]
We all know Oregon queers have got it going on, but we also have a sense of humor. So this Saturday will see us putting our hip swaying to the test with a spoof of reality television dance shows.
Homo’s Got Talent, perfectly situated in the E Room‘s dark tomb (3701 SE Division), gives local performers a chance to compete to win prizes from local businesses as well as the prestigious title of “Portland’s Top Homo Dancer.” It will be hosted by Pant’s Off Productions‘ flashy gender bender Max Voltage who has promised that the evening will be,

One of the queerest straight girls in showbiz Storm Large is a favorite to just about everybody, but locals will especially appreciate the gender-bending hilarity set against familar backdrops such as the Someday Lounge, Mary’s strip club and South park blocks.
Plus it’s just fun to say vagina.
Oh and the song’s pretty good too…

Don’t you hate it when your favorite blog doesn’t update for days and then returns with some lame excuse about personal drama and stress? That should never happen, especially for a queer blog…
Luckily there are many places to drown your sorrows when you haven’t heard from me in days. You could even buy me a drink there!

Tonight brings a much beloved night up from the Bay for the bear and cut set. Bearracuda sets up shop tonight at Rotture (315 SE 3rd) and the rumor mill swirls that another bear-friendly night, Blow Pony, may also be moving to the eastside industrial hot spot.
Bearracuda began 3 years ago as a fun, friendly dance party for bears, cubs and other “wildlife.” The alterna-friendly event was voted “Best Club for Queer Men” by San Francisco’s #1 weekly paper, The Guardian, in 2008. For a city so saturated with gay bars, circuit clubs and rainbow overload, Bearracuda was viewed as the spot for an attitude-free, sexy good time.

Keep your night summer weekend nights with a laid back Sunday evening show at queer-friendly hairdressers (is there another kind?) Barberama (3905 MLK). A benefit for local bartender, performer and personality Colyn Fernandez, this soiree serves a bigger purpose in the march toward transition.
Electro beats by DJ Machineversman sets the backdrop to the intensely primal paintings by aerosol ninja extraordinaire Rai […]
 Men
I can’t believe I almost forgot about tonight’s Men show at the Doug Fir (830 E Burnside). Le Tigre fans will recognize the electronic artsy dance fun spearheaded by JD Samson.
Here’s a little snippet from the current J/O Diversion:

An undated photo of the SMRT Pride group
So I just got back from the SMRT (Sexual Minorities Round Table) and I want to gather my thoughts a bit before I post a full on response, but my first thought is that overall my experience was mixed.
I feel like there were some great contributors there who really cared, I think that there *is* a lot of […]
 Blow Pony has become one of the most popular queer nights in town
Last night saw the first Blow Pony since the Pride weekend violence (of which Blow Pony was, sadly, the epicentre) and the muddle of police-ness that followed, so of course QPDX.com went down to Casey’s/The Eagle to check out what was going down. This Blow Pony went down without a hitch – but questions are being raised as to what can and will happen next, and despite the fact that on the surface, all is well, a lot of questions are being raised and right now, everything feels iffy.
