DJ Nolita is leaving us! We all knew that Fruitcake was struggling when it lost its Northeast Portland venue to the lures of medical marijuana, but the final death throes came when founder DJ Nolita announced she was leaving Portland for the wide open sea of San Fran. Not only will she be missed, but so will the insiders night that quickly became a Nopo favorite. Our only consolation? A [...] Just a quick video snippet from one of the many queer New Years parties last night. The last Fruitcake ever was a roaring success and Beth Ditto was on hand to help the homos ring in the new year. Cheers to organizer DJ Nolita for a continuously fabulous soiree and for use of this video. Fruitcake New Years Countdown w/ Beth Ditto! from Deejay Nolita on Vimeo. 2 people like this post. Kelly Moe will perform live at Fruitcake's NYE party The craziness of New Year’s Eve parties, be they gay or less gay, is well established and usually find me in the safe confines of a cozy NE Portland bungalow. You would think that with this year’s economy that would be especially true. But alas, this year I will be swinging down to the inner SE industrial district to partake of [...] A sad message from DJ Nolita: Dearest dancing queers and allies, I lament to inform you that Rumpspankers has gotten their liquor license revoked by the OLCC as of today and therefore Fruitcake will be postponed until further notice. We love and honor your support! Needless to say, we’ll be back soon! Stay tuned, 1 person likes this post. Get into some tight spaces at SPelUNK Friday the 13th As usual there is no lack of queer parties for the weekend and this Friday the 13th, so soon after Halloween, should certainly be auspicious. My recommendations are SPelUNK at Red Cap (1035 SW Stark) and Fruitcake at Rumpspankers (700 NE Dekum). In honor of being scared of (and excited by) the dark, Red Cap intends to plunge its patrons into [...] Even Springfield knew it was a problem. Halloween is the one day a year you have the freedom to be whoever or whatever you want to be. Whether you’ve been yearning to express your inner unicorn or unleash a fierce she-wolf, all hallows eve gives you that opportunity. But that freedom comes with a responsibility – to not be a douchebag (unless, of course, that’s your intended costume). So before you put [...] Fruitcake goes all out for All Homo's Eve Whether you like dressing up in order to explore your faggy sense of fashion, to explore the costumes and the performance on self or just for the silly, scary fun of it all, Halloween is a homo-happy holiday. Here are some of the events you shouldn’t miss. Let the screams begin. Saturday Oct 24th Halloween week starts off right with Blow Pony’s Night of [...] Max Voltage in costume promoting Homomentum Just a few from Oct 9th w/ DJ’s Nolita, Gottesfinger and Girlfriends. Were you out and about last weekend? See if you got shot by qPDX in our Fruitcake photo gallery. Like I hate it when this happens. Portland is so gaymazing that some of the best events must overlap. But still I know these folks all know each other. We couldn’t make one dance night on Saturday? Nevertheless, you should try to make it to at least 1 of these fantastic events. The competing club nights Gaycation at Holocene (1001 SE Morrison) and Fruitcake at Rumpspankers (700 NE Dekum) are both great [...] Don’t you hate it when your favorite blog doesn’t update for days and then returns with some lame excuse about personal drama and stress? That should never happen, especially for a queer blog… Luckily there are many places to drown your sorrows when you haven’t heard from me in days. You could even buy me a drink there! Like All 4 signature drinks from left to right: Blueberry, Basil, Pomegranate and Lavender Glosses. All I can say is that organizer Carlee Smith puts on a damn good party, and the newly opened Invasion Atomic Lounge (412 SW 4th) is the perfect swanky spot in which to host it. Opening night was the perfect melding of delicious drinks and alcohol soaked nibbly things, wandering chit chat, and aurally satisfying relaxation. And [...] Opening night at Invasion Somehow, the capacity for puns that so enthrals fellow blogger PerryWinkle has taken residence in my own writing style, hence the potentially painful title of this post. Luckily, you can sooth your aching ears with the much smoother sounds and surroudings at Portland’s newest ladies’s night, Gloss, at Portland’s newest queer bar, Invasion. Put on by Portland’s premiere Fatshionista Carlee Smith, of Fat Fancy, Gloss is a [...] |
