Purpose

It's our anniversary!!!

Five beautiful, sexy, smart, brave, loving, creative, resourceful years ... and many more to come.

We've got a special format for the anniversary celebration

• 6-6:30 Mingling, treats and other surprises
• 6:30-7:30 Open mic, part one
• 7:30-8 Intermission (ditto on the treats and surprises)
• 8-9 Open mic, part two

Sign-ups will start at 5:30, and I *highly* encourage you to use not only your words, but also your dance moves, your improv, your gender performance, your secret magic skills and more.

C'mon Portland, show me what you've got hidden under those layers of creativity and perversion ...

We had over 200 people last year for the anniversary so come early if you want to sit down!

If you have accessibility needs around seating, please contact IOW directly ahead of time to make arrangements. (more accessibility info below.)

We'll have tasty treats at intermission from local companies.

And, if you'd also like to feed your fellow freaks, show off your hot(pad) skills, or otherwise tempt the taste buds of a roomful of dirty queers, please feel free to bring along some food to share. All food will be served ahead of time and at intermission, and we've no way to heat or cool it, so keep that in mind, please. (Labeling things as to ingredients would also be cool.)

As always, the money from the door at dirty queer goes to support "In Other Words" - the nation's last surviving non-profit feminist bookstore in the United States. Show your support for this vital resource center however you can, and get involved!

Sign-ups for the open mic will be first come, first serve, as always...

We may not be able to get to everyone on the list if we run out of time. 5 mins per person unless you get specific permission from me for a longer time slot.
