The October Queerespondence, our inaugural night at Southpaw, was a blast! Here’s the documentation of the Night of the Living Queers party by resident photographer and stand up guy Michael Popp.
A month of public and private uproar and controversy over so many issues its hard to even pick one. Bullied gay youth doing the unspeakable; a dysfunctional homophobe running to be the executive of our state; a series of attacks both physical and metaphorical, its all very surreal in 2010. On the heels of Monday’s coming out day, remember that you stand on the shoulders of many brave queer giants. We aren’t done changing minds and hearts. Something is a brewing and we’ve got to create positive peaceful change where we can. It does get better, but as it turns out, we aren’t done yet.
It’s a big weekend! Starting this Saturday Queerespondence is headed DownSouth at Southpaw, bringing you a badass queer dance party this and every second Saturday thereafter, until the end of time! This month: zombie party! This gem of a space is nicely tucked away underground where we can make all the noise we want til’ dawn. It’s officially fall so break out that cute new jacket, get your zombie on and head out this way, gay-genda style!
Jump up and down to some brass bands, attend a community mixer for sex workers in the Slope, and gag a little at Metro for a full on fall weekend, bender edtion!
Funny ladies, librarians and a drag walk off make this weekend picture perfect fall. Wrap it up with an all day festival featuring talented and electric female artists playing for good causes. Check out this week’s gay-genda, because the party already started and you’re late!
Queerespondence is moving it’s monthly bonanza to the fabulous DownSouth lounge at Southpaw in the heart of Park Slope. From now on every second Saturday of the month will be the time and place to party like a Queerespondent should.
Alternative venues all this weekend make ringing in Fall tolerable and perfect! Go to church on Friday with Judy, on Saturday hang with the coolest kids in town at SPROCKET, and end your weekend in a lovely garden with some sausage. Does it get any better? From BK and beyond with some way cool stuff this weekend. Layer up and let’s go!
