Party Line NYC: Gay Pride, Mermaids & More

So many outdoor activities and such a shitty weather forecast. With a crazy weekend ahead, we're going to try to squeeze as much in here as possible sans our usual pithy humor.

Friday
See the Boys of Melody (aka Joel Gibb of the Hidden Cameras & friends) at Joe's Pub. with DJ Stephin (Magnetic Fields) Merritt. Call for reservations. [Joe's Pub]

Wassup Rockers, the new film by Kids director Larry Clark, opens today. His latest cinematic venture follows a group of Hispanic skateboarders around L.A. [The L Magazine]

Saturday
Celebrate summer with the crazy crustaceans at The Coney Island Mermaid Parade (and try not to come home with crabs). [Mermaid Parade]

Mother Flawless Sabrina hosts a benefit screening of the 1967 underground classic The Queen @ Love, 40 W Eighth St (MacDougal St). Email queenbenefit@yahoo.com for more info.

Justin(Kiki) Bond will be giving a little late night performance at Bank, while parnter in cabaret crime Kenny Mellman will be DJ'ing downstairs. Best to email and get on the list. [Scene Downtown]

Sunday
Don't call it a parade, this is the mother of all gay pride marches, so take it to the street. Followed, as always, by the Dance on the Pier. [Heritage of Pride]

The Rambles at The Park returns for one night only. Jonny McGovern and Jon Jon Battles are back in all their glory; with 2 floors of fun, the smoking patio, the hottub, the go-go superstuds and of course Sophia Lamar. Free.
