Are you really ready for Pride Month 2009?
Just asking because there’s so much happening this year that you had best get your calendar out NOW and start blocking out dates for the following Pride 2009 events:
“Strike out with Pride” Bowling Tournament – If you think gay bingo is a hoot, you’re going to LOVE gay bowling. Join us at the private and super comfy Seven10 bowling lounge at ACME Bowl in Tukwila. This ultra-modern, swanky lounge provides Seattle Pride bowlers an intimate, upscale bowling experience. While knocking down pins, you'll enjoy food and beverage service from the restaurant and lounge, you’ll fixate on the 150" projection screens at the end of each pair of lanes, and sit on couches so comfortable, you'll forget it’s your turn. At “Strike Out for Pride” you will also enjoy unlimited billiards play as well as bowling. The Strike out with Pride - Bowling Tournament is definitely the place to be. Sponsored by ACME Bowl and Seattle Out and Proud.

The Electric Universe will wind it's way down 4th Ave on June 28 as special
musical guest Jacinta performs on top of the SOaP Float. Setting the tone
for the parade, Jacinta is a consummate performer who, unlike many current
artists, is a true creative force writing, producing and performing her own
inventive and infectious material. Get set to have your dance buttons
pushed, your entertainment expectations exceeded and your inhibitions
unraveled as Jacinta pushes the Electric Universe enjoyment envelope at
Pride.
Also aboard the SOaP Float, keeping things pumping, popping and pulsing, and
will be DJ E Ric Medina. Originally from Los Angeles, E Ric now calls both
Seattle and LA home and his stylish musical repertoire reflects his finely
honed and hugely popular West Coast sensibilities. Be warned: You will not
be able to stop yourself from moving your hips and raising your hands into
the air, so don't even try. Because resistance to the combined energy
spinning off of E Ric and Jacinta will be futile, just resign yourself in
advance to having the best Pride of your life.
