• MEREDITH BAXTER TO NARRATE RAINBOW DOC
On June 28, 2009 (the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots), city police and agents from the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission raided a newly opened gay bar in Fort Worth, resulting in multiple arrests and serious injuries. The events of June 28, sparked a historic chain of events in Fort Worth, igniting an unprecedented wave of activism, turning the tragedy into groundbreaking civic and social change.
The documentary is a 102-minute recount of the events surrounding the controversial raid and its roller coaster aftermath. The film features interviews from many eyewitnesses of the raid, leaders and members of local gay activist groups, local politicians, including Fort Worth's first openly gay city councilman, Joel Burns as well as many staff members of QCinema.
A full trailer for the film will be released in late January 2012. QCinema will present the world premiere of Raid of the Rainbow Lounge in Fort Worth early next year, with a date and venue to be announced.
QLive! is thrilled to bring its rowdy, undpredictible open mic night It Only Makes Me Laugh at 10 p.m. every Thursday at Randy’s Club Cherries, Knight St. in Dallas.
Every week, hosts Kyle R. Trentham and Todd Camp welcome amateur, professional and wannabe comedians to test new material, develop their acts and compete for a $100 cash prize. Each performer is given a five-minute set to showcase their talent. Sign-up begins at 9 p.m.
Admission is free, but seating is limited, so arrive early if you don't want to stand up to watch stand-up. Join us for drink specials and occasional giveaways!
• QCINEMA CHOSEN AS BEST FILM SERIES
QLive!’s It Only Makes Me Laugh open mic comedy night also got a nice tip of the hat in the Best Gay or Lesbian Bar write-up for Percussions.
On behalf of everyone at QCinema and QLive!, thanks to the writers, editors and readers of Fort Worth Weekly for this much-appreciated honor. It makes the slow climb toward next year’s 14th annual film festival that much easier.
