 your chance for a quiet night in.. A grab bag of important/not so important stuff…first, a brief afternoon update on the happenings tonight. Just so you know it is NOT doubledown tonight @ holocene (we had it on the calendar and it were wrong, so, apologies, holocene is closed for a private party tonight. I want to have a private party at holocene, damnit!) I also have family in town all the way from Planet Urop, so i’m not getting as much blogging in as I usually do. Continue reading »  SuperGay stampedes for Rainbow Truth Wow, thats all I can say. Wow 1: I can still come up with a meaningful alliteration after this weekend, and wow 2: Portland Queer Pride 2009 was AMAZING. A year of firsts: The first time QPDX.com has had their own parade “float”, the first year there has been 110+ groups in the parade, the first time SuperGay had a proper outfit, the first time I decided to go for FIVE straight days of Pride partying. Five days. Five outfits. A kajillion drinks, a million miles on my bicycle, a shit ton of parties, SuperGay jumps, fake beards, hair dying extravaganzas, automation-style condom gluing, flyering, banner making, gender bendering, raindbow deco-ing stampede of gayness. But sadly, on the edge of all the celebrations: tinges of violences, aggression, and disrespect by the police. I’m still waiting for the dust to settle. Continue reading » 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! Continue reading »  Portland is Burning for BOYJOY at the Someday Lounge Thank gawd it’s Friday! Day 2 of Pride weekend. Are you ready? Because, girl, you’ve got a long way to go… Pride edition of this naughty poetry reading at In Other Words bookstore should be extra spicy.

 Crave …like what to do this weekend. The girls have got it good in P-town this Friday and Saturday. Start the party with Crave’s green monster Absinthe themed party. Will Crush (1400 SE Morrison) actually be serving absinthe? I have my doubts. It’s unfortunate because the opiet laced drink was recently legalized in our country to less fanfair than I expected. Luckily I got a lovely Van Gogh style gift package for Christmas from my mother. So pre-party at my house? Continue reading » |
