Come to the first ever Drag Bowl during Pittsburgh Pride Week on Saturday, June 8, 2013 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at AMF Noble Manor Lanes.
Each $15 ticket includes bowling, shoe rental, and a premier drag performance from top Pittsburgh Drag Performers – Queens & Kings! A portion from each ticket will support the Bid for Pittsburgh to host the International Gay Bowling Organization Mid-Year Conference and Tournament in November 2015. For tickets visit www.dragbowl.com.
In addition to bowling and drag, bowlers will enjoy special cocktails and drink specials in the Chatterbox Lounge at AMF Noble Manor Lanes.
Do you want to bowl in drag too?
Bowlers may feel free to join the Kings and Queens on the lanes. But don’t worry, dressing in drag is optional. Bowling shoes are required to be worn by all bowlers, so if you’re rocking some killer pumps, be sure to bring socks too.
Don’t worry, it’s the Saturday before Pride in the Street, so you can easily see Adam Lambert and the Bowling Drag back to back weekends! www.dragbowl.com.
All proceeds from the event will support the Bid for Pittsburgh to host the International Gay Bowling Organization Mid-Year Conference and Tournament in November 2015.

June 7th-16th is Pittsburgh’s GLBTQ++++++ Pride!
Don’t miss the Pride in the Street event on Saturday June 15th because that’s when Adam Lambert will be there! Sounds like a hot time. He’s gonna be blowing his lungs out for a 90 minute long show. Only downside is that it’s $35 but on the good side is it’s only $35!! Totally worth it to see a Grammy® nominee.
Now if Adam doesn’t get the blood flowing hard then check out Joe McElderry. He’s such a handsome guy and some of you may remember him from the 6th season of the X Factor. Yeah I’d totally like to get some x factoring on with him 😉
The list for this event goes on and on. The Delta Foundation of Pittsburgh has really out done themselves for this years line-up! Check out the official press release here, http://www.pittsburghpride.org/events/pride-in-the-streets/.
So which sports organizations are going to be there? Softball? Bowling? FrontRunners? 5801 Darts? Volleyball? Well I don’t know but when you see them marching down that yellow brick road be sure to get some fierce yells out for those Queens and Queens..err Kings?
Have a blast this Pride and remember to look over all of the events at the official Pittsburgh Pride website.
WELL thank you to the LOYAL FANS, now during the Eastern Conference Finals their will be no sales of Boston Beers from many of the dedicated bars!
If you haven’t figured it out yet, the Pittsburgh Penguins are going to be playing the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Final. I don’t think the Penguins mind this at all considering they have beaten the Bruins in the past six regular season meetings.
So while you are watching the games be sure to pick up some Iron City Beer or one of the microbrewery craft beers.
It’s finally summer and what’s better in summer than to get outdoors. There are so many activities that are great to do outdoor.
If you like to run then check out FrontRunners as they do get together for outdoor runs. Let your hair down and feel the wind blow as you run or jog through the beautiful outdoors.
But what about tennis? I have yet to learn of a tennis organization in Pittsburgh that is for GLBTQ+. Why not? I don’t get it! I know there are a bunch of tennis lovers out there, even those that like the clay of Frick Park or the bounce and speed of a hard court surface.
So where can we go to play tennis.. and WHO’s READY?!?
Charity and Robyn from Gotham Volleyball have done another ASL tutorial. This one is just as useful on the volleyball court as it is off.
Take a look – and be sure you get the correct way to sign the number 3!

Here is a nice video on how to hit a slow pitch softball. I found that patience is a virtue. Watch the video – and check out the background at 1.24.

This is the best video I’ve seen on proper technique for passing. The video editing must have taken some time but it is well worth it. It goes over proper stance or a good medium position as Terry Liskevych calls it, platform, sweet spot, and more.
“SA Volleyball Coach Terry Liskevych has coached for over 40 years – winning a Bronze medal at the 1992 Olympic Games and a Gold medal at the FIVB World Prix in 1995. In this Coaching Tip episode he shows us the fundamentals of Receiving and Passing in Volleyball. Don’t you want to know where the “Sweet Spot” is? If you want to learn from a Pro…don’t miss this lesson”
The detail in to the good medium stance is really helpful to new and seasoned volleyball players. I like how he also shows movement, dropping shoulders to get platform towards the setter. Check out this video, it is worth the time.
