Nark Announces Seattle Alternative Pride 2017 Line Up Including Cruise

Nark Magazine Alternative Pride 2017 is for everyone! (over 21)

EVERYONE and their furry little cousin is on point this year and announcing their Seattle Pride month events RAAAAAAAAAL early. We’ve never seen so many party planners so on the ball and ahead of the game! It’s only the end of April and we just put a large number of events on the SGS Calendar for the month of June including many, many Pride events.

(Hint…it behooves you to do the same if you’re involved with an event. Get that sucker announced with a Facebook invite and some art, asap! AND, then come snag an ad on Seattle Gay Scene ’cause some pieces of real estate have ALREADY BEEN SOLD! Get crackin’, kids!)

One clever furry little cousin is DJ Nark of Nark Magazine (aka Kevin Kauer) who released his Seattle Alternative Pride Week plans last week…it includes the expected: (a Saturday Pride cruise on The Islander…Pride editions of his most popular events like Dickslap and Make Out Party) plus a return of a big shindig he did a couple years, PRIDE IS FOR EVERYONE in collaboration with Bottom Forty and to be held at “an undisclosed location” with multiple stages and much decadence. There’s also a new Happy Hour event and a brunch in addition to the return of his Fierce Queen drag pageant to be held at Re-bar on Pride Week Thursday.

Missing: no big RuPaul Drag Race Queen starring events at Neumos or Neighbours…Mr. Kauer got wise and dumped that tired format.  RPDR queens are overpriced and ubiquitous…you can to to the market and see 3 or 4 of them buying corn at 3 am. No mystique!!!

Here’s all the poo released so far on Nark Magazine AlternoPride events with a promise of more info to come. As usual, there are full event passes available, (grab them HERE!) which are a good deal if you want to spend your entire Pride budget in one Narky place. And, note that the Saturday afternoon cruise ALWAYS sells out so don’t dawdle on snatching those tickets if you enjoy beer, boats and bearish men on the low seas of Lake Union. (We’re guessing the Sunday night Make Out Party at the Eagle tickets which go for $10 will not sell out too quickly…mainly because everyone is broke and exhausted by Sunday night and all the big party sluts still go to the Cuff’s Street Party but who knows…)

Dah poo:

Nark Magazine and Bottom Forty present Seattle’s Alternative Pride Festival Weekend 2017, Pride is for Everyone!
