 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. Continue reading »  SuperGay stampedes for Rainbow Truth Wow, thats all I can say. Wow 1: I can still come up with a meaningful alliteration after this weekend, and wow 2: Portland Queer Pride 2009 was AMAZING. A year of firsts: The first time QPDX.com has had their own parade “float”, the first year there has been 110+ groups in the parade, the first time SuperGay had a proper outfit, the first time I decided to go for FIVE straight days of Pride partying. Five days. Five outfits. A kajillion drinks, a million miles on my bicycle, a shit ton of parties, SuperGay jumps, fake beards, hair dying extravaganzas, automation-style condom gluing, flyering, banner making, gender bendering, raindbow deco-ing stampede of gayness. But sadly, on the edge of all the celebrations: tinges of violences, aggression, and disrespect by the police. I’m still waiting for the dust to settle. Continue reading »  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 » Sara Ray and friends hold op a rainbow flag to shield themselves from the rain at the Pride waterfront village It was a wild ride my friends but pictures from this weekend’s Dyke March, headlining Uh Huh Her performance at the waterfront and Sunday’s big Pride Parade itself are ready for perusal. We will be adding a few throughout the day and if you would like to […] 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 »  The River City Riders A great way to kick off Pride, last night’s Gender Bender at the E Room had all the right trappings. There were various forms of drag and performance, fund-raising and drama. Oh, and some really amazing outfits that you can check out in our extensive Gender Bender photo gallery. Continue reading »  Dyke March 2007 If you have successfully made it through both Thursday and Friday then congratulations! You are now ready for Pride’s biggest night, and the reason Sunday’s parade always kicks off just a little late. Dyke March The night starts early with the traditional Dyke March beginning in the North Park blocks at 6pm with a march step-off at 7. A veritable meet and greet of all your exes (if you’re part of the dyke/trans community) it is most certainly the see and be scene pre-function of the night. Continue reading » A review will follow as soon as we get our of the vise-tight grip Pride has on us this weekend, but here for your viewing pleasure is our Photo Gallery! It was an eclectic mix, and much fun was had! Thank you to all the performers and organizers of this event! Make sure you attend next year! [flickr album=72157619567359209 num=5 size=Thumbnail] |
