It happens each October in Chicago. It's much smaller than DLV, but it's a lot of fun!
Pinkfest has no official connection to DLV, but the roots of both are intertwined. Yes, if you attend Pinkfest you're sure to see some familiar faces.
Likewise, we have a good mix of mainstream and alternative venues and facilities at Pinkfest.Pinkfest 2011 will happen Wednesday, October 19 - Sunday, October 23. Information is on line at:
http://www.pinkmyst.com/pinkfest/
We have an announcement/discussion mailing list for Pinkfest. It's militantly spam-free. To join, just send a brief e-mail to: pinkfest@pinkmyst.com
The content of this list is mirrored by the Pinkfest Yahoo group at: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/pinkfest
AND - New this year!
The Pinkfest Discussion Forum now appears on MyDLV! (Right here, you're reading this now!)
The direct link to the Pinkfest Forum on MyDLV is:
viewforum.php?f=13
Content will be exactly the same on all media.
We'll have both mainstream and alternative get-together, meals including Lunch With Ginger, take in a show, have a couple vendor open house sessions, and have quite a bit of that Quality Social Time.
Hope to see you at Pinkfest in Chicago this October.
