 Kaj-Anne Pepper hosts the first Mrs. As much as I love you all, I can’t say I’m sad to leave town, which is currently raining and may be one of the shortest summer’s I’ve ever experienced in my many PDX years, this holiday weekend. But there are a few eclectic first and last times that are worth checking out if you are braving the local weather for that last sprint [...] 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: Like
 Sword and Fern's Mt. Saint Helen's Necklace and Same Dream Necklace Um, so gee, we’re late this week. I hope that doesn’t mean you missed the 2nd installment of the new queer night Cafeteria at my local Vendetta last night. I sure didn’t. While I didn’t see any lunch trays (get on it boys! Atmosphere!) I saw plenty of crunk gays getting down on that tiny dancefloor. The music was [...]  Melissa Etheridge Has it really been so long that the iconic lesbian folk-rocker Melissa Etheridge is already relegated to the casino circuit along with oldies station hits? Does that happen in less than two decades? Apparently the answer is yes, as Etheridge takes stage at Spirit Mountain Casino (27100 SW Salmon River Highway, in Grande Rhonde) tomorrow Tuesday the 24th. But that doesn’t mean she isn’t still rockin’. This show may [...] Time to get a little classy Portland. And by classy I mean sloppy champagne and cosmos classy. Come join us for the kick off of Club Foxy at Couture Lounge tomorrow night. The night will offer cheap drink specials and happy hour food all night. Nope this club isn’t just for the breeders anymore! DJ Girlfriends and Chelsea Starr will make the fagulosity go on from 9PM past midnight with sweet [...]  Little Monsters Brooks and KT 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 [...] The weekend in glowing lasers, lots of meat, last summer Gaycation and plenty of 'Thee Satisfaction' THEESatisfaction plays Friday at Rotture as part of Menz Room. Photo courtesy of Maceo Paisley Tonight sPLURt! episode 2 – I’m starting this weekend off tonight because how could I not highlight a bukakke-themed 90?s rave revival party? Really, I kinda think the 90s are back with a vengeance and I did always have a hard time letting go of the Peace, Love, Unity, Respect mantra. Plus with a photo like [...]  The Cliks play tomorrow at Roseland We are all in a tizzy over Thursday’s Rose Garden Arena Lady Gaga concert, whether we are going or not. Those of us unable or unwilling to pass the hundred dollar mark for nosebleed seats are still poised by the radio hoping Z100 will pick us to sit in the front row. And how much more can you say about Lady Gaga besides the multitude [...] 
Hercules and Love Affair's Andy Butler (left) and Kim Ann Foxman getting frisky before the show Thursday nomy lamm and the Whole Wide World with Tender Forever and Timmy Straw – A vague description to be sure, but an audience collaborative performance featuring nomy lamm? I wouldn’t dare miss it. This fat, disabled, queer activist has one of the most amazing voices I’ve ever heard and an avant garde art [...]  Palo Verde's Lauren K Newman (left) and Terrica Kleinknecht C.L.I.T. Fest (Combating Latent Inequality Together) is a DIY punk fest with music, workshops, discussions, a flea market and picnicking organized to address sexism, homophobia, and transphobia in punk and to celebrate the strengths and potential of our community. And it’s a big community. The lineup includes a vast array of local and international bands (I think about [...]  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 see what you [...]  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 [...]  Let's have a gay ol' time at the Washougal River! Tonight Do the Dark – Yes, do it. Guest DJ Nolita (Fruitcake) is in town from Oakland and it’s gonna be sick. Oh yeah, and weinie roasting on the back deck. What more could a summer queer ask for? If you don’t already know this party you should. Friday Need and Bangs reunion benefit – I know a lot of you will be [...]  DJ Nolita. Photo courtesy Just Out As exciting as it may be to have a little pre-gay pizza b-ballin’ in the court across from Portsmouth, I have to go with my nostalgic gut and make an appearance at the Rotture (315 SE 3rd) for Nolita’s much missed Fruitcake. Unfortunately, we lost this party to the open arms and venues of the Bay area, and they love it too. Thankfully, [...]  The Need's Rachel Carns with bandmate Radio Sloan in the background in an old school Oly alleyway It has already been a summer of reunions, but Kaia Wilson doesn’t have the market cornered on dyke rock revival. Avant garde/metal/punk/hardrock scrappers The Need and fellow OlyWa queercore riot grrls Bangs are back in the saddle for a special 3 day benefit in the Seattle, Olympia and Portland this Wednesday, Thursday and [...] The crowd held up fingers to signify which contestant's booty they thought bounced the best. I used to live a few blocks away from Porky’s and remember happening across the awesomeness that was Booty. Stars aligned last night as the old crew (now geographically scattered) hosted a fabulous reunion party complete with a booty-bouncing contest and double dutch jump roping! Check out pics here. Be sure to catch Booty DJs Puppet [...]  Just some of the super hot go go dancers, Chase Bender, Chance McKinsey, & Storm Titley, appearing at Queer Cornucopia Looks like we are all finally recovered from Pride, because the weekends are back. There’s more than enough to keep you busy but the most exciting reunion of this week (cuz, yeah, there’s more comin’ up) is the return of Puppet and Stormy‘s Booty: Queer as Ye Be. But the [...] |
