Hot damn, it’s bound to be sweaty this week as Albuquerque Pride 2012 kicks off. Temperatures could soar over 100 degrees on Saturday when the crowning festivities take over the city. The better to glue your glitter with, my pretty!

From the bravery of Stonewall rioters to the chief pro-Prop 8 witness reversing his stance on Friday, there are countless shining moments of LGBTQ history to celebrate. With that in mind, the Alibi and Albuquerque Pride proudly extend a sparkle-laden Group Hug to start the revelry off right.

Exclamatory particulars of the Pre-Pride Glam Dance Party:

Wednesday, June 27 (Tomorrow!)

9:30 p.m.

18+ welcome, but you must be 21 to drink. (Don’t forget your ID!)

Lotus nightclub, 211 Gold SW.

A mere $5 gets you in the door.

DJs Tahnee, Nicolatron and Cassyle will spin disco / electro / glam hits to whirl your Disco Queen into a frenzy. Rebel Donuts’ sugar wizardry will have her licking glitter frosting off your face. Hotpants, shiny jumpsuits, towering collars, feathered hair, space oddities—all mightily encouraged.

    When the parade ends every year, a crush of extremely happy and wonderful, if not luscious folks enter the area bars for hydration and maybe a nice "cocktail". Their exuberation is infectious among themselves. There are flags raised, kinship renewed and pride turbocharged. And the area bars are gratefully awaiting this deluge of business with a super-bloated staff that day, and luv, luv, luv....

    So, as an observer, in the spirit of this mega-positive event please treat the Workers well. For one day, please check your inner-bitch at the door just in case 200 people want iced tea simultaneously. If the 6 foot grill is suddenly needed for 18 feet of orders, well, just remember 18 is better than 6. If you happen to visit a couple times a year, YESSSS YOU ARE SPECIAL!!!, but not that special. And please don't complicate restrooms. A 17 year old hostess doesn't at this point in her life need a weird old man.... never mind,

    And finally, TIP! Area business' attempt to accommodate this parade and yet, it it can be a downer (or a f@@@@@@ pain in the ass). Hope every-one has a great time.

    Regards

    Mike

    This will be my new bumper sticker.

    If I were a biz owner I would think I would be very excited for the boom in biz on parade day. Bring on the patrons, no?

    But yeah, you gotta tip your server, especially if they've been bombarded with a crowd.

    during Pride week, even if you do enjoy Pride business.
