There’s a lot going on tomorrow night! But there’s also lube wrestling. Wrestling drunk people all lubed up might be a little messy, but the owner of the bar assures me that the wrestling pit will be in a contained area. You will still be able to dance if wrestling isn’t your thing. Crave, the monthly queer ladies dance party at Crush will feature three things dear to my […] Thursday nights are generally continual favorites in Portland. Few not exclusively gay clubs choose to regularly give up their weekend slots for queer events but Thursday is up for grabs and, really, you can make it through one more day… This Thursday’s Booty: Portland’s queer party for the piratecore at Porky’s pub on North Lombard is a singles night. (The website hasn’t been updated for this event but trust me, it’s happening) And while I might generally be wary of such an themed evening Booty is probably the best up-and-coming queer weekly in town, so it’s definitely worth the trip up there on the Max. Be wary though, Booty is not so new that it hasn’t been discovered, so Porky’s tiny walls fill in fast after 10 o’clock hour. The second event are local self-proclaimed “gayest band in the universe” T-ReXXXa with Cat Hole, at the E-Room (Egyptian Club), Portland’s only ladies dive. Apparently the first 25 folks to ask for it get a free Cat Hole CD. I cannot substantiate this rumor. Show is from 8-10, with dancing (surely?) afterword. But you can probably still scoot up to Booty at the show’s end if you’re intent on catching both nights. Because the E-room hasn’t updated their calendar either, you may begin to doubt the validity of my claims that these events are actually happening. Well, here’s the Craiglist post to prove it is. Beware as it contains a swear word. Just fyi… Craiglist is another great resource for finding out what’s going on.  A Night of Noise! Support our queer future with SMYRC I’m just gonna copy in this email I got. Support SMYRC. They are awesome! As a youth, I profited greatly from a group like SMYRC, and I personally know queer and questioning youth who are current SMYRC regulars.
 Men: Ginger Brooks, Takahashi, JD Samson and Michael O’Neill MEN, a project largely piloted by Le Tigre’s JD Samson, now includes Michael O’Neill (Princess, Ladybug Transistor) and Ginger Brooks Takahashi (LTTR, The Ballet) with Johanna and artist Emily Roysdon contributing as writers, consultants, and producers. And the new NYC queer band of the dance scene has a brand spankin’ new video for “Off Our Backs” produced by the weird and wonderful K8 Hardy.

And this week is Sylvania’s Queer Pride Week, put on by their Women’s Resource Center.
Events include: Continue reading » X Rated. Monthly. Queer. Sliding Scale. An institution of queer life in Portland gets a QPDX writeup.  Crowd at the two year anniversary of DQ Dirty Queer (DQ for short), the country’s only X-Rated Queer Open Mic has been running for around two years now-and i’d never been! Bad Perry. I know. Come ‘ere darlin’, tell me off! Ok, ok. Nevermind! But finally, finally…I managed to go last Friday and not only was I present for the readings and performances, I also got to interview host Sossity Chiricuzio and I read some of my own writing! Continue reading » Today from 6 until late pm the Oregon Rugby Sports Union (ORSU) women’s team will be holding an all you can eat, all you can drink spaghetti feed. There will be kegs and large vats of spaghetti as well as a silent auction. The ORSU team have been slected to compete in the brand new USA Rugby Premiership. The Premiership is a league of the best teams in […]  Photo by Danielle Peterson / Statesman Journal Portlanders expect our hometown to be weird, and indeed, I think Portland could launch a thousand successful reality TV shows. What we don’t expect is to be upstaged by a small town neighbor. When the first openly trangendered mayor, Stu Rasmussen, was elected last fall, however, Silverton clearly got the best of us. Now they may beat us to the reality front as well. Continue reading »  Southland's John Cooper In 2009 it queers still scour the small screen in order to find representations of ourselves. The recent debut of NBC’s Kings showed us a pampered, spoiled and closeted crown prince. As a villian he plays perfectly into the stereotype of the evil gay. But another NBC premiere tonight at 10pm may serve to provide a more nuanced gay character. Southland‘s John Cooper (played by Michael Cudlitz) is a rough and tumble LAPD cop. Continue reading »  Photo courtesy Bad Scene Productions A little part of Sissyboy is back with a game-show benefit. As part of Just Out’s Diversions: How do you take something ridiculous and over-the-top and make it more so? The general recipe calls for nasty sassy drag queens, talent shows or 80s game shows. This overwhelming melee of more than you ever expected from American Idol has all three. In a night of Sissyboy-hosted mania, “The Gong Show,” a benefit for Outside In, takes over Rotture (315 SE Third) tomorrow, Friday, April 10th. Doors are at 8 p.m., show at 10 p.m. Continue reading » |
