LOSE YOUR AIR VIRGINITY: A first for Seattle, tonight you can get pointers (or even perform) at the Air Sex Championships. Yes, you read that correctly. Think Air Guitar sans the guitar solo, but instead swapping it with two minutes of sexy, saucy, or pure naaasty love-making moves with an imaginary sex partner. All to love-makin' tunes sure to put the audience at El Corazon in the mood. And just so you don't start flashing dollar bills, there is no nakedness at this dry humping festival, however creative costumes are encouraged.
8:00 p.m. doors, Fri. // El Corazon, 109 Eastlake Ave. E // Tickets: $12 (21+)
ORIGIN OF "THE BOOTY CALL": In a special performance, Bill Bellamy, comedian and host of the comedy competition show Last Comic Standing will perform his shtick at Bellevue's Parlor Live. His stand-up career was launched nationally, after his bit on Def Comedy Jam, where he coined the phrase "booty call." Now if that means nothing to you, well at least pay the man some comedic respect for the five years he endured as the host and VJ of MTV Jamz and MTV Beach House.
7:00 p.m., 9:30 p.m., Fri. & Sat. // Parlor Live, 700 Bellevue Way NE. Suite 300 // Tickets: $20-$40
FESTIVALS! FESTIVALS!:There is no getting around it--literally--that this is the weekend of festivals. You could be festival-ing all weekend long, starting today at the Juneteenth Freedom Festival to commemorate a historical milestone in the African-American community to Saturday's indulgence of ethnic dishes and dances at the 3rd annual Seattle Iranian Festival. And of course there's the much anticipated weekend-long Fremont Fair, with its beloved Summer Solstice Parade, where we expect nothing less than seeing creative floats among the mass of naked glittery painted bodies marching and biking together, all to celebrate summer.
Juneteenth Freedom Festival // 10:30 a.m.-8 p.m., Fri.-Sun. // Pratt Park, 20th Ave S & Yesler Way // Free
Seattle Iranian Festival // 11:00 a.m.-11:00 p.m., Sat. // Seattle Center's Center House // Free
Fremont Summer Solstice Parade // 12:00 p.m., Sat. // Fremont, N 36th & Leary Way // Free

Around The -Ists This Week


I think AirSex shows are for 14 to 17 year-olds and have no place in bars filled with (presumably) adults. Honestly, I have always thought this to be childish, stupid and only sexually appealing if one hasn't gotten laid in 4 months or more.
So, needless to say, I will not be attending as I have had sex within the last 4 months, seeing as how I had brunch with AdmiralZing's mom on Mother's Day.
Whereafter, we made whoopee.
