if you haven’t been living under a rock, you know that coronation is coming up next weekend. i wrote about it already in april events but i had to write about it again cause it’s actually a series of events that have pretty much taken over my attention

 

 

the big to do is on Saturday the 18th but there are a couple of events before and after. on thursday, the 16th, the courts of Minneapolis and Seattle are hosting a show at Broadways with an afterparty at Boyztown. on friday, other performers from outside denver (reigning monarchs only) will be showing at Mary’s. and on  sunday there is a victory brunch and been bust at the sheridan and BJ’s respectively.

 

so yes, i’ve established that there are lots of court events happening next weekend. it’s gonna be a busy time for our denver girls. and all that stuff’s listed in both community papers and fliers and websites. the thing is, i just got an email from someone encouraging me to vote for one of the candidates for empress…. in my personal inbox! this is serious.

 

it’s a good thing i got the email because i’d forgotten how soon voting was happening. it’s this saturday, the 11th from 11am-6pm in cheesman park. it’s gonna be the event of the week. you should be seen there. check out their pamphlet to get all the info you want.

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.

 

 

 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

  

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

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

 

 second, apparently Judy Shepherd will be here on the 19th. i have no idea what this event is about. i’m gonna guess fundraiser.

 

 

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.
