Think you have nothing to look forward to this weekend besides demoralizing 40-something degree weather that makes summer in Boston seem a mythical creature not unlike unicorns or a sober Charlie Sheen? Well, I’m happy to report that you’re wrong. While you may be chilly, you can keep busy with some naughty bike porn, a second week of guerrilla gays, and a flashmob pillow fight. And this is just the tip of the April iceberg. All in a weekend’s work, Boston.
Here’s the plan…
THURSDAY
- If you aren’t familiar with Boston’s great queer-friendly Thursday parties, you most definitely should be. Check out G.T.L. @ Tommy Doyle’s, Queeraoke @ Midway Cafe or Karaoke Thursday@ Machine. Details on event websites.
FRIDAY
- Put down your messenger bag, roll down your pant leg, and stop freaking out drivers and pedestrians for a moment in order to check out CineMental’s Bike Porn at Brattle Theatre tonight. Truth Serum promises an evening of “…short films made by folks of all genders and sexualities with the common theme of bikesexuality, bikeuriosity, and bike objectification.” Things might get greasy. Details: Brattle Theatre. 40 Brattle St., Cambridge (Hvd Square). 11:59pm. Tickets – $10.
- Guerrilla Queer Bar heads downtown tonight (get your mind out of the gutter!). Venue location details will be posted online Thursday or Friday. Details: TBA venue downtown. 9pm. 21+.
SATURDAY
- Catch this weekend’s second and final late night showing of CineMental’s Bike Porn at Brattle Theatre. The show starts just before midnight. Details: Brattle Theatre. 40 Brattle St., Cambridge (Hvd Square). 11:59pm. Tickets – $10.
- Banditos Misteriosos is organizing Boston’s participation in the World’s Largest Pillow Fight today. Cities from Cape Town to Tel Aviv will be holding flashmob pillow fights. Last year Boston came in 2nd place worldwide for most participants, so prepare to get pummeled! Check the Miseriosos page for location details on late Friday night. Details: TBA location. 2:55pm. All ages. BYOP(illow).
- Randolph’s twice monthly party Kiss N’ Bang is at it again this week at RCC. Aries birthdays get in free tonight. Details: RCC 44 Mezzeo Drive, Randolph. 9pm. $5 before 10:30pm, $8 after. 21+.
SUNDAY
