Some Final Pride!
This final week of Pride is bitter and sweet! The last blowouts are bound to leave your head spinning and then pounding. Our weekly tip-sheet should leave you with a full list of to-dos and regrets. Some famous folks celebrate birthdays along side your potential blackout, so pride like you mean it and I’ll see you on the other side!

Tandem Bar & DJ Scott Bowman (Sky Report) is throwing a TANTRUM! The folks that brought you REALLY? (a party thrown in the cozy basement of Northeast Kingdom) are bringing the noise, the funk, and in this case the pride to Tandem. This isn’t our first time telling you to hit up the North Brooklyn hot spot, but it’s certainly the time you should do it. Expect tight jeans, sleeved hoodies, and ironic tees. Start time is 10pm, but the real crowd will hit around midnight. Get into it!

Are you a queer enthusiast? Do you and your significant other hold hands, helmets on, spinning down 5th Avenue in the Slope or up Bedford in Billyburg? You’re about to get your gears rocked by Ride Brooklyn Bike Shop. An after-hours sale of homo-proportions will encourage queers and straights alike to cruise the merch. The plan is as follows… early folks from 7 – 8pm get served with flat tire changes and minor maintenance assistance. From 8 – 9:30pm it’s a Pride Sale with 10% off stuff, which is a lot when it comes to hefty bike supplies. Nearby, BabeLand will raffle swag and an informal bike ride in scenic Park Slope will bring you to Pacific Standard for $1 off all drafts. (P)Ride Brooklyn really out did themselves and it’s pretty rad they are taking care of the gays! Bike over and I’ll see you there, if you’ve got questions hit up Stephen for answers!

Special performance by Dynasty Handbag, before 11 gets you in for only 5 bones! The mammoth Bell House will be chalk full of final pride makeouts and meltdowns. Sweaty dance floor, folks of all kinds, and a feeling of family make this a one of a kind party, these cats have been around for ages and know what their doing.
