Be an old school OQ at the Original Queer Night tonight

I did a search for queer 90s and this came up. Pretty emblematic now that I think about it…

We all know by the trail of dead nights (RIP Market and Castro, Manic Mondays et al) how tough it can be to get the queers out on a Monday night. But back in the days (you know, the 90s) were we had to beg venues for a […]

Once again, Cafeteria was off the hook.

For the second time, the last-thursday-of-the-month dance night graced the streets of North Portland at the lovely Vendetta bar.

Here are some pics from the night and more in our photo gallery:

Thursday

A-Wol Dance Collective presents Art in the DarkFit, beautiful amazing women dancing and flying through the air. And I hear that background looks like a giant fabric vagina.

Whip Cream Olympics at Red Cap – Yet another Red Cap party that some will be titillate some and disgust others, this is a week long championship of feats of athleticism involving that sweet, fluffy treat.

Friday

Pre-funk with DJ Lunch Lady – Low key Killingsworth coffee shop red e (1006 North Killingsworth) is one of my new favs, (even though I also love the nearby CoffeeHouse 5) and DJ Lunch Lady will be at the helm for an early evening art opening. I heard that his inaugural Cafeteria party at Vendetta was off the chain, so combine that with free alcohol and it’s the perfect start to your weekend.

A weekend of beauty parlors, homo talent, old school cafeteria and house parties and the chance to earn some booty

Last year's Homo's Got Talent winners Nicolette and Pony, aka, Art School Dropouts

Tonight

The Cafeteria at Vendetta – The inaugural lunch lady themed new gay night at my new local bar mere blocks from my new gay house! It should also be the perfect cool down from Last Thursday, and it’s, you guessed it, within walking distance. Lunch trays and crunk gays (and $1.50 Pabst) within stumbling distance? I’m there.

Purple Rhinestone Eagle’s tour kick off – Awesome queer punk tour kickoff with STLS, Forever, and DJ Permanent Wave in between sets at Backspace (125 NW 5th). Um, have you ever heard a band with two drummers? Now is your chance dude. It’s time to rock out with whatever you got out.

Gay Garage Sale graces Vendetta (PHOTOS)

One person’s trash is another person’s outfit.

Hipsters, dragsters, gays and queers flocked to Vendetta on Sunday to peruse through people’s goods and trash for the 2nd Gay Garage Sale. Blessed with non-raining weather, the surroundings of the Northeast bar Vendetta saw hordes of gays and those who flock to gays. DJ Lunchlady rocked jams in the front room while Dirty D hosted the patio through numerous illicit offers and costume changes.

I walked away with two old school lights that look like something out of a Skate World estate sale.

Check out all the pics on the photo page.
