Wed, 18 March 2009  Northern Xposure Weekend – affectionately dubbed “NX ” by veteran attendees -- is an LGBT social and fundraising event that takes place in Seattle each August. Produced by Rich Kaalaas of Rein Fire Ranch Productions, and the NX volunteers, it raises money for Lambert House, a resource center for GLBT youth. Various social gatherings – beach parties, dances, a boat cruise and other events – allow attendees to enjoy one of the most beautiful places in the country at a particularly beautiful time of year.Since its inception in 2000, Northern Xposure Weekend has raised more than $100,000 for Lambert House. Because of this amazing effort by a generous group of friends, Lambert House has kept its doors open to the gay youth of today, helping to shape those who will be gay leaders tomorrow. Begun primarily as a social gathering at Rein Fire Ranch, the weekend’s series of events has changed over the years, but its purpose – enjoying the company of friends while helping Lambert House – remains the same. Retooled in 2004, NX took the form of a one-night collaborative effort with CastroBear Presents, and fabled DJ John LePage brought SWEAT to Seattle in a whole new way. The following year, taking it Off the Farm, and into the Big City, NX moved onto the calendar of Seattle-wide gay events, and again helped publicize the important work of Lambert House. A year later, under the Viking-themed banner of You Can't Pillage The Willing -- CastroBear Presents, BigMuscle.com, 'Mo Magazine and others teamed with Rich to present the spinning talents of John LePage, Blaine Soileau, DJ Funky Bear, Sam Andrews, and the NX DJ debut performance of Ted Eiel. This year Rich and his team are working hard to plan things out, and bring another great weekend of fun and fundraising in August 20th-23rd, 2009.. Watch for more info soon. Comments[0] |
