I just got this in my email:
"QueerBomb is a flash Force assembly of LGBTQIA individuals within the community who have found the current strategy and structure of Austin Pride to be non-inclusive, capitalist, heteronormative, safe and unchallenging.
QueerBomb has been assembled with boisterous urgency in organizing a counter 'Pride' procession that carries a strong Queer message to the streets of Downtown Austin reclaiming the radical, carnal and transgressive lineage of our ever changing community, while celebrating every facet and form of our people as a unique and vibrant whole."

Watch as the ND plays host to a stank throw-down of magnetic proportions with it's Friday the 4th blowout of Austin's answer to a new pride....QUEERBOMB.
See go-go dancers of every size, shape and luxury. Cast your eyes upon celluloid images not meant to be seen by god fearing people. Dance to the musings of two DJ's programmed to destroy your ears with enough music to cry for.
The stage is set for local appearances across the board....from the humpins of LITTLE STOLEN MOMENTS, to the rumpins of the KINGS AND THINGS, to the filth and fury of CHRISTEENE..
No one will be left untainted by this extravagant display in offering a new celebration to the community for ONE NIGHT ONLY!
Admission is free...
Door is 18 and up...
Full Bar....
Bringing you the rough and tumble musical trade of
DJ Jay Jay Booya (ATX/ CHRISTEENE)
and the Northwest rumbles of the legendary
DJ Chelsea Starr (SF/PORLAND. The woman behind the longest running Lesbian Dance Party in the nation, 'HOT PANTS').
To miss this would be unthinkable.
....the night is FULL of events on Friday. QueerBomb will be rolling from 10pm til the cock crows. Plan accordingly and support all that you can!!
