Pride was amazing! I was extremely nervous about throwing 4 parties but Shanon Thorson and I did it and not only did we succeed it was an over the top success that I wasn't prepared for. Over 3000 people made there way over 4 days into the Ruckus Parties at Grim's. So much fun and super excited for going bigger and better next year. Get Blog Updates By Email Add Me On Facebook -

Thrice - Broken Lungs (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix) Never thought I would hear Thrice in Dubstep, but I love it Passion Pit - SleepyHead (TGIK Remix) I know this song is really old and been remixed to hell and back again but I thought this was an interesting take on Sleephead.

So the new Starz Torchwood series looks amazing. Some of my observations: Its not very British, even Jack seems more American Big budget, quality looks amazing From the trailer it looks like they will be down playing Torchwood's history Regardless, it looks amazing and I can't wait to see it!

1. Take Friday Off! Let's be serious, your going to be out hella late on Thursday kicking off your Pride Weekend and Friday events start early so why not think ahead and take it off. Call in sick, use vacation, whatever... just make sure you have it off. 2. If you don't live in Seattle get your housing in order. No Drinking & Driving. So if your live in Federal Way or even in Northgate.

What does everyone think of the new single.  I like it but it also sounds old.  Sounds like the old gay divas, more like a cross between Celine Dion and Cher.  Something you might hear at the White Party or better yet a Gay Cruise.  Like I said its really good and I'm sure I'll like the remix even better but it does have that 90's gay feel to it.  What do you think?

By: Ben CrowtherLast weekend I saw the movie Inception. As I left the theater, I could barely comprehend what I had just seen. The movie was absolutely spectacular. It has the epic feel of the Dark Knight (with the same director), the intellectual challenge of The Matrix and the "wtf" factor of Requiem for a Dream. You'll want to watch this movie at least 2-3 times.

Movie comes out this Friday and it looks amazing! From Christopher Nolan (Dark Knight) and stars some of my favorite actors, specifically Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Mysterious Skin) and Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later, Sunshine).Biggest criticism "Inception" has recieved so far is that it's to smart for mainstream movie goers."It's a challenge and a minor chore to follow Nolan's cerebral lead, but
