Off With A Bang!
Annamarie as Madonna
This sure seems to be a great year already. We kicked it off with a festive New Year’s Eve and just had a rockin’ Birthday Bash. We are busy planning the rest of the year including a great Pride Party and some other big fun this summer.
The New Year’s Eve party was a huge success! Thanks to all of you who helped get the word out and rang in 2009 with us. Steve Harter took some great pictures in the lobby of everyone dressed to party. Henry’s Deli in the nearby Norm Dicks Government Center provided a sumptuous spread to nibble from all night. Carter’s Chocolates at the Towne Square Mall in Port Orchard had a decadent assortment of truffles. We toasted in the New Year with both NYC and Seattle with champagne with fresh blackberries. The music was fun and set the stage for a great night – including performances from Tacoma’s Drag Kings the Royal Knights and Bremerton’s own Annamarie doing a fabulous Madonna!
Our Birthday Bash was through the roof! We had a Kick Up Your Heels theme with a cake to match. Anyone arriving in hells got in free! We had a huge turn out. I spoke to a few guys from West Seattle who had heard about our nights from gay Seattle culture blog site. That blog, SeattleGayScene.com, has been posting our events for a while now and is a great place to check when you are planning a trip across the water.
We made a video and have posted it on our Facebook and MySpace pages. You can also find it on YouTube and on SeattleGayScene.com. The video shows how much fun was had on the dance floor and how packed it was all night. You can even see proof that women come and have a good time.
The Pink Champagne Cake
We even had a great Pink Champagne birthday cake with a Bratz party girl on top.
Some of us got together at the Kitsap Pride screening of the film MILK at the Historic Orchard Theater. We took over the One Ten martini bar after the show. Kitsap Pride was able to raise $600 for this year’s event on Saturday, July 18th at Bremerton’s Evergreen Park.
We are looking into organizing a Red Star Camp OUT at a campground not too far from here. We are also working on a Big Barn Bash for an outdoor summer party with maybe some BBQ. Stay tuned for more details about the Red Star Summer.
We hope you will join us at our next party on Friday, March 6th. Remember, doors open at 9pm, it is an over 21 event and it is Cash Only. We are there almost every First Friday and it is the same night as the Bremerton Art Walk and the Eagles Steak Dinner night (till 7pm). Please don’t park in the member’s lot. There is lot’s of parking close by – the best bet is the lot up above the Eagles on 5th Street.
Thanks for all your support. Your enthusiasm keeps us going.
