april showers…bring a world premier…

March 19th, 2009 thedenverelement

i don’t know. i tried to do something gay with that but… yeah. apparently i’m not creative at all.  in any case, here’s where gay men will be hanging out in april. i know there are a lot more events than this but i got to  get this out before april 1st. apparently april fool’s day has become a themed holiday where we should host parties and such. who knew.

 

pedro

 

 first things first. the event of the month with be the world premier of PEDRO. i don’t know how many cities they’re showing it in but it’s rare that denver will get first showings…. always sloppy seconds. so be at the Starz Film Center at 5:30 on wednesday the 1st.

If you don’t know who Pedro is (for shame… seriously though, I didn’t really know. that’s why they made the movie), he’s  from The Real World San Francisco in 1994. he was the first-ever openly gay, HIV-positive main character on tv. before him, people didn’t know anything about HIV. he made it all personal and started conversations all around the world. check out the trailer, RSVP, be there

  

vivid

next, cafe vivd has apparently taken to hosting parties. and they’re doing on on the 1st with HipChicksOut.

so not only is april fools day a holiday, but it’s a holiday where you get dressed up as a rocker, or so this party suggests. “Dress in your rock star finery, or come as your favorite rocker icon of all time. The band will be waiting… Rockstar Party @ Tracks

pick a song
join a band
form a band
have fun
$5 U-Call It SKY Martini Specials

i don’t know. i just go to the parties. i don’t plan them.

there is life in april after the 1st. the biggest events go as follows…

 

coronation

 

Coronation 36 is first. i gotta say, i am so impressed with the girls in denver. i’ll be there. you better be too.

the most interesting event this month is definitely gonna be LAST DIG XII on the 18th and 19th. The Colorado Gay Volleyball Association is hosting one of the biggest tournaments of the season. all the action is happening at the Gates Fieldhouse - south end of the Ritchie Center at DU 

check out the teams that have alreay registered at the Gay Volleyball Association website. the Spike Force, Daddy and the boys, and Balls Deep are all playing. denver is gonna represent. and it looks like so is seattle. seriously. sweatty men squatting in shorts… and they’re all gay… i’m already excited. volleyball is so hot

finally, the mile high gayla is coming up. externally it’s a benefit for HRC here in denver… but we all know that it’s really just a reason for gay men to wear their tuxes once a year and check out our men out of bar wear (jeans and tee.. or no tee). but it’s for a good cause… so why not. if anything, the entertainment and food is usually good… and you will meet men, lots of new and interesting ones.
