Catitude at the last Kick/Ball/Change

This Sunday saw the final installment of the queer dance extravaganza, Kick/Ball/Change. The performance, which included regulars such as Untrained, I, Catitude, and Beefcake Burlesque, also featured newcomers Under the Radar and a sexy solo by Carlee Smith. And though there were moments of hilarity and fabulousness, the performance was also tinged with sadness. And now we must be in mourning.

Kick Ball Change…one more time

Just a final reminder that the LAST EVER Kick / Ball / Change (Dance showcase, and pretty much the gayest thing ever) is happening this Sunday at the Someday Lounge. Get your tickets here online (cheaper) or at the door (it may sell out and then you’d be sad!)

Read what we had to say about the last two Kick […]


Homo’s Got Talent and we have the pictures to prove it

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 […]


Homo’s Got Talent

homo-talentWe 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,

Has your homo got talent?

homo-talentPortland’s dance, drag and other queer performances are most certainly building back up after a short lull, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for more. Are you a diamond in the rough? We want to know. That’s why Pants Off Productions is putting on an American Idol style Homo’s got Talent!

Tonight: Crave @ Crush, otherwise a quiet weekend?

June Crush Theme is androgyny

Just a quick note to you all that if you feel like going out, tonight is CRAVE @ CRUSH. It seems to be a quieter weekend out on the queer partty circuit, which is probably a good thing because Pride was a little excessive! But if you’ve recovered enough to want to shake your booty with the young, hip dykes of Portland, head […]

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!

Friday – A night in recap

Holocene

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!

Pride 2009: Sunday & SuperGay!

Its Portland Gay Pride - Parade Time!

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!
