rageous! - ION Arizona

It’s time to show your Pride, Party
Penguins! It’s my favorite time of
year when I see old friend and make
new friends. I can’t wait to see all
of your smiling faces on the parade
route and at the Festival! Remember,
none of this would be possible
without all of our hardworking friends
and volunteers at Phoenix Pride. Let
‘em know you appreciate everything
they do.
One of the hottest tickets at Phoenix
Pride this year will be the Summer
Wear Fashion Show both days at 4
p.m. at the Lakeside Stage brought
to you by Off ChuteToo. I can’t wait to
see what’s hot on the runway!
Speaking of Pride, don’t forget to join
our friend’s south of the border at
Rocky Pride this April 25-27. There’s
still time to reserve space at the
fabulous Hotel Peñasco del Sol. It’s
gonna be a blast!
And if you’re super proud, I’ll see you
at Las Vegas Pride next month on
May 2-4. I’ll be the one dressed as
an Elvis impersonator.
Splash Bash is back and it’ll be held
at the glamorous Clarendon Hotel.
You can reserve rooms at great rates
for the weekend. Wait ‘til you see
what we’ve got planned! It’s better
than ever!
And now, ladies and gentlemen,
our Party Penguin of the Month: it’s
Jimmy Gruender (pictured here
with boyfriend Paul)! When he’s
not tending bar at Plazma
he’s busy heading the
Volunteer Committee for
Phoenix Pride. Remember
those folks you need to
say “thanks” to? He’s
defi nitely one of ‘em!
Happy Pride! Be safe!
Love,
Ion the Party Penguin
