Keep your night summer weekend nights with a laid back Sunday evening show at queer-friendly hairdressers (is there another kind?) Barberama (3905 MLK). A benefit for local bartender, performer and personality Colyn Fernandez, this soiree serves a bigger purpose in the march toward transition.

The times are a little quieter right now, it’s true, what with Seattle pride and San Francisco Pride dueling for our attentions this weekend. QPDX.com will mostly be staying in town, due to overworked livers and overworked bank accounts, but nevertheless there are a few opportunities to party this weekend.

 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.

 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.
