SUMMARY:LoveFest with the Chicago Black Gay Mens Caucus
DESCRIPTION:LoveFest is our invitation to community to slow down\, exhale\, and recenter your pleasure. Inspired by Janet Jackson’s The Pleasure Principle\, this year’s theme\, The Pleasure Principle\, was born from a desire to create something soft\, sexy\, and intentional — a vibe made specifically for the Black queer community. \nExpect a full day of experiences designed to help you explore physical pleasure\, sexual health\, intentional cannabis consumption\, as well as conscious consumption of other substances and curated cocktail workshops. This event reminds us that pleasure is not a luxury — it’s essential to the wellbeing of Black gay\, bisexual\, and same-gender-loving men in Chicago.

SUMMARY:Slo 'Mo presents: Old Gold - The Glamorous Life II
DESCRIPTION:Old Gold returns for the Glamorous Life\, our “New Year’s Eve-ish” celebration where the gay & grown get dressed to the nines and dance away the year together. The Good Girls (Lady D\, Lori Branch\, VITIGRRL) are pulling out rare and favorite vinyl featuring R&B\, disco and house for twirling the night away at the stunning Three Top Lounge on the roof of the Salt Shed. Your Party Mom Kristen has been on party sabbatical and back in the hostess seat for her favorite soiree of them all. We’re so excited to clink glasses with you and send 2025 off into the city skyline and stars. \nSkip the stress of the expensiveness and foolery of New Year’s Eve for a more easeful night on the town on the final weekend of 2025. Last year’s inaugural Glamorous Life sold out\, so we highly encourage purchasing tickets early. Early bird tickets are available now for $30\, general admission are $35 and very limited door tickets will be available for $40. \nWe’ve gotten a LOT of questions about the future of Old Gold. Just relax\, join us for this special night and trust our collective 60 years of experience in music & culture to unveil our plans in due time. But in short\, we will say this: The future is looking golden. \nThree Top Lounge is accessed by the back of the Salt Shed on Elston Avenue via a ramp and escalator to the top floor. There is an abundance of lounge seating including chairs and couches. If you’d like reserved seating due to mobility challenges such as disability\, pregnancy\, postpartum\, recovery or any other reason\, please email slomoparty@gmail.com . Please note there will be flash photography & video documentation and mid-loud music amplification.
