  Yes, the springing spring has brought us yet another queertastic dance extravaganza…because we all.just.can’t.get.enough… Yes, it’s Blow Pony‘s 3rd birthday this Saturday at Rotture (315 SE 3rd) and I will be in full regalia with my crew, but I am starting to get a bit wary of the night that seems to keep expanding in both good and less good ways. Are we going to burst at the seams? Has BP become just another freakshow for the masses? This weekend is a test my friends. And it may be time for some of us to retreat into our smaller queer dominated domains for awhile. We shall see.
Luckily we have ample opportunity. Listening to the description of tomorrow’s new Blue Parrot (3416 N Lombard) hosted !!!DIRT BAG!!! glamourtronic queer dance pop party!!! I am certainly tempted to add another evening to my dance party schedule, full as it may be.

The lovlies over at Fat Fancy are thrilled to host artist and professor, Frau Fiber, doing a performance in front of the store (1013 SW Morrison) tomorrow Friday March 26th.
Frau Fiber will construct a “Columbia” style jacket, in her size, made out of plastic bags, on a bicycle powered sewing machine! The project is part of the Gestures of Resistance exhibition at Museum of […]
  Sandhill crane Spring has sprung here at QPDX and we are taking it outside. Amateur Naturalist and avid urban adventurer Diana Edwards talks with us today about the Sauvie Island wildlife.
Just 10 miles from downtown Portland, Sauvie Island has long been hailed as a great escape from the city heat in the summer. And we all love the gay nude beach. Sauvie Island, however, is also an important natural area for both residents and migratory wildlife.

  Buck Angel, porn pioneer, seeks local trans guys for a documentary project He’s loved and hated, admired and criticized. Whatever your opinion, Buck Angel, the famous “Man with a Pussy”, and arguably the world’s biggest FTM porn star, is working on a new project and will host a Portland casting call. Buck is no stranger to breaking new ground, and after recently being turned into a statue (link NSFW), Buck is working on creating a non-porn documentary exploring the sexuality of trans men.

 DJ Permanent Wave loves to sit on the lap of Christmas elves
With a dirty name like that, how could you not want to don your mustache, chaps, and prepare for a club night ride? DJs Permanent Wave, Yer Momm and Lucas take over Rotture (315 SE 3rd) tomorrow night and turn it into a Menz Room. But contrary to the more elite boy parties the “men” […]
Happy St. Patricks Day Portland! What are you doing tonight?
 He has a celtic tattoo...proof enough he MUST be Irish Gays and dykes seem to have a love hate relationship with St. Patrick’s Day…we love the drinking, the dancing, the getting dressed in funny clothes and the sexy Irish accents, but not so much the catholic church and the being banned from parades. But for once, I’m not gonna go on about politics – I’m gonna get off my soapbox and give you some eye candy instead!

  Special appearance by DJ Beyonda Though we’ve actually gained an hour of light at the end of our sunny spring days, dusk is still the witching hour for frisky queer gatherings. Organizer and DJ Freddie Fagula is feeling the spring fever, categorizing the beginning as last week’s Bent. With a crowded, sweaty dance floor and hot homos sidling up to one another I can’t say I disagree.
He aims to keep that party vibe going with this Thursday’s Do the Dark Spring Break Edition at the Tonic (NE 31st and Sandy).

 American Apparel has either launched a clothing line for mtf trans people or someone is playing a joke Is it really love or just a game? American Apparel has apparently launched a new line of clothing for MTF trans people called Trans Am, or someone is making a very bad and very elaborate joke. There is a lot of conflicting news fluttering around the web about this at the moment, and a lot of it is commentary from other blogs (which isn’t necessarily reliable, critical or very trans-friendly) but so far not much from AA itself. I checked out AA’s website but no information is listed to either confirm or deny that this is an official AA campaign.

  Jailtime kiss for Lady Gaga or "How do I get into that prison?" Love her, hate her, think we here at qPDX blog too much about her, there is no denying that the queer internets are all kinds of atwitter over Lady Gaga‘s newest music video.
In a duet with the fabulous Miss Beyonce, Telephone is a completely odd and queer refashioning of pop culture and I want to hear what all you fine people have to say about it. My favorite reviews, so far, come from edgy lez-culture site Autostraddle and include highlights such as:
“I appreciate the sheer volume of weird shit happening”
“Like getting Wes Anderson to direct Thong Song”
“I feel like I’m high, but I’m not”
“Gaga escaped the Russian mafia with their toxic vodka and sexy potato sack dresses.”
Now watch the magic (below) and see for yourself.
