GrrlSpot & New Orleans Pride
Saturday - June 23, 2012
On June 23rd, beginning at 8:00 pm, we'll celebrate Pride in New Orleans GrrlSpot style and introduce you to Canal Street's newest luxury hotel. Located on the corner of Canal and Burgundy, the Saint Hotel was chosen as one of this year's hottest new U.S. destinations. Trust us, you've gotta see it.
We'll begin the festivities with a live, local band, then bring on a DJ to help you shake what your mama gave ya, provide two bars to keep you hydrated and the Saint's award winning restaurant will be there for dessert.

NOLA's "Queer Girl City Guide"
"How can I explain how insanely queer this city is? I'll try my best. Breaking down roles, recreating identities, writing our own stories, and celebrating the uniqueness of our culture is ingrained in the essence of NOLA."
GRRLSPOT ANNOUNCES A WEEKEND OF EVENTS DURING SOUTHERN DECADENCE
Dykeadence Events Grow, GrrlSpot Heats up New Orleans, Labor Day Weekend
NEW ORLEANS, LA – Following last year’s first ever “Fleurt,” the Dykeadence Party that broke records for the New Orleans Lesbian and Queer scene, GrrlSpot brings more excitement and heat for Southern Decadence weekend 2012.
The stage is set for another record breaking Southern Decadence Weekend, and GrrlSpot has partnered with Dykeadence for the fourth year to expand inclusive events for women and people of all sexual orientations and gender identities during Southern Decadence, one of the largest LGBT festivals of the world. GrrlSpot, New Orleans’ premier pop-up lesbian and queer bar, guarantees days of exhilaration this Labor Day Weekend through a lineup of events.
GrrlSpot Director Christine Johnson relays, "I'm very excited about Dykeadence this year. We got a lot of great exposure for the women of Southern Decadence last year and we've already grown bigger and better for the upcoming year. GrrlSpot's 'Fleurt' was the largest event of the weekend and the most successful ever for GrrlSpot - this year, we're taking out all the stops."
The fun kicks off on Friday, August 31st at House of Blues. Female Hip-Hop Duo, God-Des and She takes stage, followed by New Orleans’ own Drag King Troupe, The New Orleans Carnival Kings, and DJ Gage keeps the party jumping late into the night. Tickets go on sale August 1st at the House of Blues Box Office and online through Stub Hub. The Show starts at 9:00 PM, doors open at 8:00 PM.
On Sunday, September 2nd, GrrlSpot wraps up the Weekend with a bang, with “Fleurt,” the largest and most anticipated party of Dykeadence. Last year, Fleurt drew over 450 people in the midst of Tropical Storm Lee, which deterred many from coming to the city for Decadence. This year’s Fleurt will be held at Mardi Gras World in The Grand Oaks Mansion. New Orleans' only Female DJ Duo, "Puss in Beats," featuring DJ Jenna Jordan and DJ Sonja Lofton, starts the evening, then introduces a sassy show by Bella Blue and the New Orleans School of Burlesque. After the Show, “Fleurt” your way into the morning with one of New Orleans’ best known DJs.
