Every third Thursday from 5 to 7 p.m., PQ Monthly hosts a party to celebrate the release of the current print issue. Each month we takeover a different venue and invite our readers, advertisers, and community partners to join us for a laid back evening of catching up with old friends and making new connections.
Our next PQ Monthly Press Party will be held May 16, 5 p.m.-7 p.m., at My Bartender (133 SE Madison St., Portland, Oregon 97214). Visit our Facebook invite or Evite for more details and to RSVP.

PQ Monthly is excited to partner with Oaks Park to bring you Gay Skate — the monthly LGBTQ rollerskating party.
Gay Skate is sponsored by Sock Dreams and the Rose City Rollers. We will be collecting food for Take Action, Inc., a program that puts food in the backpacks of low-income children so they have something to eat over the weekend.
Admission is $6. PQ’s portion of the admission proceeds will go toward the creation of a PQ Monthly Scholarship Fund.
