2013

Happy Belated Pride!
We had an amazing and chill time this year. How bout you?
Ships teamed up with Darling Nikki (an amazing queer dance party in San Francisco that raises money for rad causes every 3rd Friday of the month) AND Sissy Strut (now every 4th Saturday at Underground SF) for a collaboration of epically gay proportions. It was awesome to get hot and sticky in the Underground again (Ships' SF old home).  Check out the photos here:

Recently Ships hosted a benefit for the New Jersey 4: after 7 years, Patreese Johnson is the last remaining of the group still in prison. She is expecting to be released later this year. Check out more information here and please consider donating:

The Ships crew is also going through some changes. After 7 years of organizing Ships in SF and Oakland, Macio Kendrick is moving to the east coast to go to nursing school! We are all excited and proud and looking forward to working with Macio on a Spring/Summer East Coast ships in the future.  Congratulations Macio!!!
We're excited to have new crew-members in training and lots of help from volunteers and friends! Thanks community!!

On another note, we got a fun write-up on the bold italic blog:

Thanks for helping us make a favorite of queer dance parties in the Bay Area!!!

See you next month:
Saturday, August 3rd at the New Parish, 579 18th St. (at San Pablo), Oakland
