QProm 2009 - Night of Noise (a benefit for SMYRC)

“Night of Noise”, an all ages GLBTQ community fundraiser to benefit
the Sexual Minority Youth Resource Center, will take place Friday,
April 17 from 9pm-1am at The Jupiter Hotel on 800 E Burnside St. The
event is organized by the Portland State University Queer Resource
Center, SinnSavvy Productions, and local promoter Kaki Marshall.

Night of Noise will celebrate self expression and the strengths of the
GLBTQ community, with entertainment from SinnSavvy Productions artists
the Rose City Sirens, the River City Riders, the B.B. Dolls,
Burlesquire, and Angelique DeVil, followed by the sounds of the
fabulous DJ Automaton and DJ Linoleum. The dreamBOX at the Jupiter
Hotel will house a cash bar separate from the dance floor, to provide
an all ages celebration. Tickets are $8 for students and $10 general
admission, and will be available at the door & through Ticketmaster.
All ticket sales will benefit SMYRC, to support their relocating from
their current home on Belmont which suffered severe damage during the
winter snow storms.

"Night of Noise" is a follow-up to National Day of Silence, where
students & their supporters are silent during day to raise awareness
around and express solidarity with GLBTQ folks who are silenced daily
through harassment, bias, and violence. Visit

place nationwide.
