Open Mic with Leah

Hey Peeps, so May 1st was a success for us. We really enjoyed bartending the Lazy Mks show, the people were really nice and the management of the new venue Artisean are super swell as well.

Special shout out to Beth Curry (dj Bedhead on cjtr radio) She rocked the bar! We love our volunteers. More events coming up where Lips will just be hosting the Alcohol sales. However May 7th is our first event at this location;

Open Mic with Leah then Dj Mallory Tapp will finish the night off with some good beats to dance to.

Should we have another one?

Coming up...

Hey people, so we've had some emails in the last couple months asking whats 'lips' plan is.

Throwing events is not an easy task, especially throwing queer related events in a smaller community. Our objective is to throw smaller style homo-hop style, shaking rump, relaxed fun events. If your queer/gay/trans/homo/lesbo/bisexual/straight - we want you all there and we want to hear you and your requests, what do you want? A specific Dj, live band, queerokie, jam sessions etc? Let us know - we'll try our best to make it happen, of course if its a reasonable request. ;)

We are fortunate enough to have found a permanent home for Lips events, in the Cathedral area close to Albert and 13th avenue - parking lot across the street, and close to public transportation.

So on that note, we have some monthly events coming up starting in May. Whats happening you ask? - well we're going to leave you hanging for a bit, as details get finalized - you'll be the first to know.

Have a great sunshiny day - its beautiful out!

Change is good

Hey Everyone, Welcome to Lips' new blog.

We've been taking a bit of a break to restructure and wait for our new permanent venue to be ready!

During this time some of you may have came to SIREN - which was a collaboration project with Afterdark Productions crew. The point of that party was to work with our friends and try and make it for everyone of all ages, we understand it was more of a 'rave' atmosphere which of course is not for everyone, but the majority that stayed had a good time. The party itself was a success, we had over 250 people in attendance, bar sales were great, and we even helped GenQ (youth gay group) raise some funds. We had an all female Dj line up with Tk from Toronto and VJ Carrie gates, Shannon Busta, and Kiwi from Saskatoon, of course one of our regular dj's Mallory Tapp.

We want to thank you all for your support and patience through our trial and errors! We heart you all.
