Photos from last Thursday’s Dirtbag at the Know

It was this much fun at Thursday's Dirtbag

Someone had a little too much fun this week at my current favorite Thursday night party, Dirtbag. And Guttor Glamour graciously let me steal some really great DB snapshots for the qPDX photo gallery. The red lipstick is probably my favorite.


Cafeteria continues the Queer Dance fun

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:

Because qPDX was unable to make it to last night’s Lady Gaga show, we asked several of our friends to give us their highlights of last night’s show at the Rose Garden as well as agreeing to show us their amazing costumes in this Portland does Lady Gaga photo gallery. We encourage you to tell us about your experience in the comments below, and if you have pictures you want posted send them my way! (alley@qpdx.com)

Photos from the 2nd Annual Homo's Got Talent

Winner Kaj-Anne Pepper struts his stuff

The 2nd Annual Homo’s Got Talent competition took place this year in the courtyard of the Jupiter Hotel, a big improvement over last year’s confined space. And though the program was long, and the exquisite winning performance by Kaj-Anne Pepper and crew at the very beginning, there were some real quality acts, and some even better costumes. You can relive, or […]


Pictures from San Francisco Pride

"Dyke" train

I promised you pictures yesterday and here are some gems from the qPDX Cali trip from the 2010 San Francisco Dyke March as well as the pictures from the big 2010 San Francisco Pride Parade. Enjoy.


Finally, all the pictures from Portland Pride

Mike was shooting with such fancy equipment that it took awhile for him to really get all the galleries up, but they finally are! That also means that if you spot yourself in a shot we can most likely make a really nice print for you. If you’re interested just email me at alley@qpdx.com.

Friday night photos to tide you over

Trans Family picnic

I am so not ready to recap and recuperate from Pride, but I did manage to get some photo galleries from the Trans Family picnic as well as Friday night parties Crave, Gaycation and Robo-Bogo/One Night Stand. Pride 2010 was amazing. That’s about all the commentary I can presently muster.


Last night's Gender Bender-fit and Do the Dark

DJ Freddie Fagula at Do the Dark

Why are we constantly plagued with camera issues? A curse on both our houses? qPDX needs an equipment sugar daddy y’all…But for reals, I did at least get a few crappy shots from last night’s Gender Bender and Do the Dark. Even if I am more excited to see the portraits from Wednesday’s Gay Pizza, taken by the lovely Deya Card. Put ’em up girl!

Team Dresch takes on Brazil and their 10th anniversary celebration of Ladyfest

Team Dresch rocking out in Santos, Brazil

Team Dresch has been the seminal dyke punk band since Donna Dresch, Kaia Wilson, Jody Bleyle and Marci Martinez first started rocking out in the Pacific Northwest’s thriving 90s rock scene. They’ve been through breakups, hiatuses, drummers, moves, solo projects, parenthood and more. And much has changed in both the music scenes and queer communities since then. What hasn’t changed is their ability to rock your socks off.

Rumors of a Team Dresch reunion swirled in 2006 and they promised more shows and new releases in 2007 and while we are still waiting for some of these super tight new releases in 2010 the ladies do continue to bring their widespread talents together for various shows around the world, the latest of which just took place at Brazil’s Ladyfest.
