Thursday's Fast and Furious in Cyberland...

In the twinkling of an eye, it's another fast and furious romp through cyberspace with all of you in tow. Often I get so many items on the radar that need attention that expounding on them is always feasible in this format. Also, I've discerned that in this "Blink" society, offering to much info in long form doesn't meet the expectations of those who use this forum as an entertainment, information, enlightening or empowering source. However, some outings I digress and get a little long winded in providing more in depth insights or commentary. This forum doesn't it's hell of a best to meet or exceed your expectations as Arkansas' only daily updating portal for the LGBTQ community and beyond. Let's step off...

BLK Pride in the City: In a previous posting I cited that there seemed to be not one but sorta two Black Prides taking place in Central City. Yet, the two apparently don't have much in common, are distant cousins or something to that affect. The official Black Pride events from Little Black Pride have been circulating on this site and across various platforms. They include the July 24, Meet & Greet at La Quinta Medical Center Hotel, 901 Fair Park, a pair of " Swag" parties at 801 Markham and a FREE Luncheon, Saturday July 25 at THUC, 400 W. 13th street. To date I've not been able to confirm exactly what the agenda entails for the other pride event slated for this weekend at Club Good Times. Signage outside the venue hails a "beer special," and I would speculate probably one of those entirely too long shows that starts in the wee hours of the morn. Ultimately, in my opinion why the two instead of "one" great off the chain weekend uniting all people in celebration of Afro-American Culture and spirit? Brother and Sisters, I'm open for any and all combacks. No matter, it's all going down this weekend and next weekend for your pleasure.

COP on Facebook: O.K. this forum went ahead and done it again. The social networking mania seems to be the place to be so we jumped in with both feet. TA-DAH!, we are now doing Facebook as another means to outreach to a greater audience. Is Twitter far behind? Well, time will tell. After all, I've got to sleep at least two hours a day don't ya think. In the meantime, the "friends" have been falling into place and if you have an account let's go for the hook up. Yes, we are still knocking it down on Myspace and damn it right here at COP 24/7!




P-FLAG Rising: The Center for Artistic Revolution is spearheading a movement to facilitate the organizing of an area Parent & Friends of Lesbian and Gays group. Commonly known as P-FLAG, this group consist of those who are dealing with a plethora of issues surrounding SGL members of families or extended families.
