Bedside open air daytime party | Alternative Pride

Come set the tone for one week of h0t and sweaty pride as Bedside Productions kicks off Alternative Pride at Onkel Danny’s Plads with a s3xy and cute open air daytime party featuring Bedside’s own DJ residents who will set the vibe for a dripping afternoon floor in the sun.

But first things first, because what better way to start a week of flirty festivities than by asking:
How do we make pride s3xy and safe? Bedtime Magazine’s Polina Bachlakova will be hosting a talk asking Daniel DeLove (Awareness, Den Anden Side), Lærke Sindholt (Bedside), Adam Gilbert (KFP Awareness and Den Anden Side) and Kristian Møller (researcher) how to ‘score med stil’.

We have also invited two of our favourite queer writers – Elias Sadaq and Lin Melkane – to read for us, and during the party you can also get down and d1rty at our flogging workshop.

We encourage you to dress up k1nky and bring the vibes!!

Timetable:
16.00-16.30: DJ Algorythm
16.30-17.30: Talk: Scor med stil – making pride s3xy and safe
17.30-18.00: Digtoplæsninger: Lin Melkane + Elias Sadaq
18.00-19.00: DJ Algorythm
19.00-20.15: Vixen b2b Mette Munk
20.15-21.30: Schacke b2b Britney Speed

Talk: Scor med stil: Making pride s3xy and safe
Got your eye on a cute baby queer? Having the hots for a bear bearing hot pants? Feeling flirty for that flinta on the floor? It’s hard not to get a hard on during a long week of sweaty pride summer nights, but how to nail that first move without killing the vibe? How to approach that honey with respect and style?
Bedtime Magazine’s Polina Bachlakova asks our panelists what we can learn from s3x-positive parties about how to — respectfully — get laid, why there’s a need for FLINTA only spaces, how we can address the challenges with boundary-crossing behaviors in our community, and more. And if we’re lucky, we may also get their pro tip on how to ‘score med stil’.
