I do believe that Rocket Queer is this weekend and there is also the Naughty or Nice Tea party in Northampton!

I dont know how I live here and don't know about the goings on in our community!!

I love Rockit Queer!

It's such a fun night out dancing and the Voo is really laid back and has a nice energy. I've not been since they changed up the DJs; in fact it's been *forever* since I've gone because Turners is just far enough away to make it a bit of a hike for me. Not a bad drive if you're that side of the river though.

Is the tea party at the Hotel Northampton?

/clearly way out of the loop.

Thank you for this! I joined!

Pete and I have been to Rocket Queer a few times, though not for a while. It is really fun, and it does get crowded.

You do have to walk through a dense fog of smoke to get in and it's a late night event.

We can't go this weekend, but I am sure we'd be interested another time.

At the risk of being a pain in the ass, and I absolutely acknowledge that I may be completely wrong, but I don't have a good feeling about the LGBT Coalition. The website is very polished with tons of pictures of very well groomed women and men, none of whom are local, and I can't find any evidence that any of the money from the dances and other events supports any programming for young people.

Like I said, I don't know for sure, and I kind of hope I am wrong.

I haven't been on their website in a long time. I know that I volunteered for them about three years ago when they did a Mardi Gras theme party. From what I was told, there was a big split in the Noho Pride Committee and the Coalition was formed as a way of being more "financially" secure. But that is just hearsay.
