ext Wednesday is the first day of summer.

That by itself is cause for celebration, but even more so in Maine, where the chance to soak up some warm rays is all too brief – and it doesn’t help when the skies are gray and raindrops are running down the windowpane.

To get you back in the mood for summer after yesterday’s soggy mess, here are 25 tunes to download onto your iPod that are guaranteed to make you want to slip into a swimsuit, throw some burgers on the grill and play a game of beach volleyball.

All have a summer theme or were inescapable tunes during summers past, invoking memories of coconutscented tanning oil and salty sea air.

1. “Surf City,” Jan and Dean 2. “Summer Breeze,” Seals and Crofts 3. “The Boys of Summer,” Don Henley 4. “California Gurls,” Katy Perry 5. “School’s Out,” Alice Cooper 6. “Rockaway Beach,” The Ramones 7. “Under the Boardwalk,” The Drifters 8. “(Love is Like a) Heat Wave,” Martha and The Vandellas 9. “Summertime,” DJ Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince 10. “More Than a Feeling,” Boston 11. Anything by the Beach Boys. Well, except maybe “Little Saint Nick.”

12. “Nothin’ But a ‘G’ Thang,” Dr. Dre with Snoop Doggy Dogg (don’t play with kids around) 13. “Summer Nights,” John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John 14. “Summer in the City,” The Lovin’ Spoonful 15. “I Gotta Feeling,” The Black Eyed Peas 16. “Wipe-Out,” The Surfaris 17. “Margaritaville,” Jimmy Buffett (But if you’re a guy, leave the coconut bra at home.

Seriously; no one wants to see that.)

18. “All I Wanna Do,” Sheryl Crow 19. “I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles),” The Proclaimers 20. “Philadelphia Freedom,” Elton John 21. “Here Comes the Sun,” The Beatles 22. “Summer Afternoon,” The Kinks 23. “Let’s Dance,” David Bowie 24. “Party Rock Anthem,” LMFAO 25. And the penultimate summer vacation song: “Vacation” by The Go-Go’s Speaking of which, I will be taking my own summer sojourn beginning next week and continuing into the next, so you won’t be seeing this column for the rest of June. I’ll let you know how it went when I return.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I hear a beach chair and a daiquiri calling my name…

After not touring for two decades, David "GUFS OPU UPVSJOH GPS UXP EFDBEFT %BWJE Bromberg is very much on a roll. #SPNCFSH JT WFSZ NVDI PO B SPMM The multi-instrumentalist and song5IF NVMUJ JOTUSVNFOUBMJTU BOE TPOH writer got the bug for playing out again XSJUFS HPU UIF CVH GPS QMBZJOH PVU BHBJO a few years back, and has been nearly B GFX ZFBST CBDL BOE IBT CFFO OFBSMZ unstoppable since.

OBUVSBM EJTBTUFST On Saturday, Bromberg will be back in 0O 4BUVSEBZ #SPNCFSH XJMM CF CBDL JO Maine to play with his band and guest gui.BJOF UP QMBZ XJUI IJT CBOE BOE HVFTU HVJ tarist Larry Campbell at Stone Mountain UBSJTU -BSSZ $BNQCFMM BU 4UPOF .PVOUBJO Arts Center in Brownfield.

"SUT $FOUFS JO #SPXOmFME "Larry is an old friend," Bromberg said i-BSSZ JT BO PME GSJFOE w #SPNCFSH TBJE by phone. "I produced some things where CZ QIPOF i* QSPEVDFE TPNF UIJOHT XIFSF I called on him as a musician, and we * DBMMFE PO IJN BT B NVTJDJBO BOE XF have played together quite a bit.

But this is the first time I've been on DJBO #VU UIJT JT UIF mSTU UJNF * WF CFFO PO the road with him. I expect that he's going UIF SPBE XJUI IJN * FYQFDU UIBU IF T HPJOH to play on a lot of my tunes, and I will ask UP QMBZ PO B MPU PG NZ UVOFT BOE * XJMM BTL him to do a tune or two himself. I expect IJN UP EP B UVOF PS UXP IJNTFMG * FYQFDU we will have some big fun."

XF XJMM IBWF TPNF CJH GVO w It almost goes without saying that Brom*U BMNPTU HPFT XJUIPVU TBZJOH UIBU #SPN berg will have some big fun. He is a riot in CFSH XJMM IBWF TPNF CJH GVO )F JT B SJPU JO concert, often very funny and wry. And his DPODFSU PGUFO WFSZ GVOOZ BOE XSZ "OE IJT skills as a guitarist are as sharp as ever.

TLJMMT BT B HVJUBSJTU BSF BT TIBSQ BT FWFS By taking two decades off beginning #Z UBLJOH UXP EFDBEFT PGG CFHJOOJOH around 1980, he avoided burnout. He BSPVOE IF BWPJEFE CVSOPVU )F runs a violin shop in Delaware, working SVOT B WJPMJO TIPQ JO %FMBXBSF XPSLJOH mostly as an appraiser, although he is also NPTUMZ BT BO BQQSBJTFS BMUIPVHI IF JT BMTP a trained violin maker. Playing music is B USBJOFE WJPMJO NBLFS 1MBZJOH NVTJD JT strictly his choice. It's not something he TUSJDUMZ IJT DIPJDF *U T OPU TPNFUIJOH IF has to do to make a living.

IBT UP EP UP NBLF B MJWJOH That's why playing with someone like 5IBU T XIZ QMBZJOH XJUI TPNFPOF MJLF Campbell is such a treat. Like Bromberg, $BNQCFMM JT TVDI B USFBU -JLF #SPNCFSH Campbell is a ridiculously gifted musician $BNQCFMM JT B SJEJDVMPVTMZ HJGUFE NVTJDJBO who can play just about anything with XIP DBO QMBZ KVTU BCPVU BOZUIJOH XJUI strings. Both guys have played with some TUSJOHT #PUI HVZT IBWF QMBZFE XJUI TPNF of music's biggest stars over the years, PG NVTJD T CJHHFTU TUBST PWFS UIF ZFBST including Bob Dylan, Jorma Kaukonen, JODMVEJOH #PC %ZMBO +PSNB ,BVLPOFO Willie Nelson and the late Levon Helm.

8JMMJF /FMTPO BOE UIF MBUF -FWPO )FMN Both are experienced and sought-after #PUI BSF FYQFSJFODFE BOE TPVHIU BGUFS studio musicians and producers, and are TUVEJP NVTJDJBOT BOE QSPEVDFST BOE BSF adept at helping other musicians achieve BEFQU BU IFMQJOH PUIFS NVTJDJBOT BDIJFWF a certain sound or vibe. They are both B DFSUBJO TPVOE PS WJCF 5IFZ BSF CPUI savants of a musical kind, with nurturing TBWBOUT PG B NVTJDBM LJOE XJUI OVSUVSJOH personalities that other musicians find QFSTPOBMJUJFT UIBU PUIFS NVTJDJBOT mOE comforting.

Hair mettle

By ROGER MOORE

The cast – especially Cruise – is endearingly game, but a pervasive mean-spiritedness finally sinks the glam-rock spoof ‘Rock of Ages.’

M

ost movie musicals, even in the age of “Glee,” still face that awkward moment when somebody – say her name is “Sherrie Christian” – riding a Greyhound, bursts into “Sister Christian” by Night Ranger, and the rest of the bus bursts in to join her for the chorus.

Audiences today titter at that. But you measure the movie by how quickly we get over it.

“Rock of Ages,” the big-screen version of the jukebox musical set to ’80s “hair metal” anthems and ballads, never does. The heavyweight cast is game, but the filmmakers can’t stop winking and mocking the mockable music and the era long enough to let the picture, built around over-the-top tunes by Foreigner, Bon Jovi, Journey and others, pay off.

It’s enough to make you “stop believin’.”

“THE AVENGERS” (PG-13) (2:22) Stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Evans, Scarlett Johansson and Jeremy Renner. Directed

by Joss Whedon. A team of super humans forms The Avengers to help save the Earth from Loki and his army.

The stunt motorcyclist who occasionally transforms into a guy with a flaming skull for a head is back, enjoying something of an overhaul courtesy of director Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor (“Crank”). As comic book movies go, it’s no “Avengers,” but it’s no “Daredevil” either, so take from that what you will. Rated PG-13. Running time: 1:35 Warner Bros.

NEW TO BLU-RAY “THE GOLD RUSH,” starring Charlie Chaplin and Georgia Hale. One of Chaplin’s most beloved classics, this 1925 comedy manages to seamlessly meld slapstick misadventures with a relatively realistic representation of the bleak life of a gold prospector, a livelihood the woefully unprepared “Little Tramp” aspires to, with hilariously sad

“THIN ICE,” starring Greg Kinnear and Billy Crudup. Sitting comfortably between “Fargo” and “A Simple Plan” is this twisted dark comedy from writer-director Jill Sprecher. Debt-ridden and unscrupulous (at the risk of being redundant) insurance agent Kinnear is dropped in blustery Wisconsin, where he learns that one of his elderly clients (Alan Arkin) is in possession of a violin reportedly worth more than a million dollars. Seizing on this as an easy solution to both his financial and marital problems, Kinnear illadvisedly teams up with ex-con turned security system installer Randy (Crudup) to get his hands on the violin. Obviously, all does not go accordingly to plan, or we’d have no movie. Rated R for language and brief violence and sexual content.

Works A FOR ME

How important is a consistently yummy breakfast? Important enough to create repeat business for The Works in Portland.

HOT ticket

s we all know, there are two things in life that are always guaranteed: Death and taxes. But don’t despair, because when it comes to a sure thing for a satisfying breakfast, lunch or midday nosh attack, you can always count on The Works Bakery Cafe.

I’ve been going there since my 1994 arrival in Maine, and will continue to do so indefinitely. Its location on Temple Street is in that sweet spot bordering the Old Port, and although countless businesses on either side of them have come and gone, The Works has remained steadfast, like a loyal friend that’s always available.

Since securing a full-time gig here at The Press Herald, I’ve become a die-hard regular

If cream cheese is your bag, The Works won’t disappoint. A partial list of flavors includes plain maple raisin walnut, olive, veggie and my favorite, bacon scallion. Smoked salmon spread, as you can imagine, is also a popular one. On a bagel, these cost $2.29 to $2.69, while half-pound

Visit from relatives takes beer sampling to next level

might have an obsession when I choose a restaurant based on the beers that might be available.

My wife Nancy’s sister, Martha, was visiting from Florida and wanted to take us out to dinner. I suggested Local 188 because I like Spanish-influenced food and because I knew I could find some Bunker beer there. I have not drunk enough Bunker Beer yet.

Back in March, I tried Bunker Ale 2, Bunker Lager 1 and Bunker Hopscotch Ale when the Great Lost Bear had a Bunker Brewing night as one of its Thursday specials.

Jay Villani, owner of Local 188 and Sonny’s restaurants in Portland, and his baker, Chresten Sorenson, started Bunker Brewing with the idea of creating great beers with only the traditional ingredients: “malt, water, yeast, time, temperature and passion,” to quote Villani when I talked to him at the Bear.

Al Diamon – a freelance columnist and blogger for Downeast Magazine and a

I

variety of other Maine publications who once did a regular beer segment on his Portland talk-radio show – emailed me that he had tried a Bunker maibock at Local 188 that was one of the best beers he had ever had.

The maibock was gone on Saturday, so I had the Bunker Mountain Girl Bock, described as a traditional American bock with a nice spring flavor, and I liked this a lot. I am a freak for bocks anyway, so this is not surprising.

Nancy thought it had a musty flavor, which she considered a negative. The rich complexity of a bock could be called musty, and I consider that a positive. It was slightly cloudy, an off-red, 6.5 percent alcohol and quite good.

Because we are going to Barcelona as part of a cruise in the fall, Nancy tried the Estrella dam Barcelona Lager, which was a really good beer. It was clean, crisp and flavorful, and went very well with the cheese plate and grilled moto flatbread that we shared with our beers.

On my recommendation, Martha ordered Rising Tide’s Daymark, but that keg had been replaced by the Six Points Bengali Tiger from Brooklyn. It was a pretty good beer – although as more and more IPAs hit the market, I find they have to do more to impress me. That is probably more about me than about the beer, but I want something – almost anything – other than an IPA. For the second beer, I had the Bunker Coastal Belgian, a good, cloudy white ale that tasted a bit like Allagash White with just a bit of extra malt and hops.

This was a good beer, but it was a bit calm in comparison to the bock and when paired with the lamb I had ordered. It definitely was good enough that I am going to order Bunker beer whenever I find it.

Martha and Nancy both ordered as a second beer Peeper from Maine Beer Co. Martha had never had any Maine Beer products before, and Nancy has absolutely loved every Maine Beer product she has tasted – even more than I have.

I’ve written about Peeper before, so I will just say it met expectations. A great, straightforward beer, slightly hoppy but

not IPA hoppy, and it tastes the way beer should taste.

THE NEXT NIGHT, Martha’s husband, Fran, joined us for lobster, and we did a beer tasting. Beers on the menu were Baxter Celsius, which we had on hand, and the following beers that I found at the Cape Elizabeth IGA: Another Peeper, Rising Tide Daymark and Ishmael, Bull-Jagger Baltic Porter, Portland Lager and Red Claw, and for dessert – after the fresh, local strawberries – a Shipyard Smashed Blueberry that I had on hand.

Fran’s top two beers were the Peeper and the Celsius; Martha’s were the Peeper and the Ishmael; and mine were the Daymark and the Red Claw – which surprised me, because previously I had thought the Baltic Porter was my favorite from Bull-Jagger. Nancy lost track, but liked them all.

We did agree there wasn’t a bad beer in the bunch.

bar GUIDE

Head up the stairs to Weekend at Bernie’s Beach Club

By EMMA BOUTHILLETTE

hen someone says “Weekend at Bernie’s,” you likely think of the movie, not a club.

And when someone says “Old Orchard Beach,” your initial instinct is to probably think of the famous Pier and not all the other bars that branch out from the hub down East Grand and West Grand avenues.

Well, if you’re not interested in a movie and are more interested in a different bar, head over to Weekend at Bernie’s Beach Club. The club is located upstairs overlooking West Grand Avenue, Palace Playland and the beach.

If you weren’t looking up as you walked by, you’d likely miss the sign, which features a sketch of Bernie from the movie.

You may also bypass the stairs on the side of the building that lead you to the entrance.

A sign right out front advertises karaoke every night starting at 9 p.m. When my friend Kirsten and I walked in around 7:30 on a Friday evening, there was some music playing and a few people grabbing drinks at the bar.

We found a spot at the end of the bar to stand and wait to order drinks. I’ll give the club the benefit of the doubt that it’s the beginning of the summer season for Old Orchard Beach business and that may mean some new staff, but we waited a long time. Twenty minutes, to be exact.

Waiting that long at a bar on a really busy summer night may be normal, but this bar wasn’t that busy.

Kirsten ordered a Captain Morgan’s and Coke, and I ordered a Tanqueray and tonic. Each drink cost $7.25. I’d say that’s a little pricey, given that the drinks were served in clear plastic cups, but I understand the establishment not wanting people with glass perching on bar stools on a patio one story above the street.

While there was enough seating inside, we decided to take our drinks onto the patio. It was a cool evening, but it was well worth being cold for a little bit of

On the breakfast (or anytime) front, The Works has several egg sandwich options available on a bagel, bread or wrap and ranging in price from $2.49 for scrambled eggs to $4.49 for the Western wrap.

There are 17 varieties of New York-style boiled and baked bagels, with added selections over the course of the year. Need a sodium fix? The salt bagel, toasted and lightly buttered, beats the pants off any pretzel. Want something that pairs perfectly with spinach? The tomato dill is just the ticket. As-is bagels are 99 cents apiece, six for $4.99 and a baker’s dozen

Weekend at Bernie’s Beach Club, located upstairs at 8 West Grand Ave. in Old Orchard Beach, may be easy to miss from street level, but it’s sure to be bustling when locals and tourists hit the sand this summer. people watching, which included a guy dancing across the street to the music of the club. (Ironically, the man kind of looked like the movie character Bernie who, though still dead in “Weekend at Bernie’s II,” starts dancing when music is played.)

Movie references aside, the club is actually named for owner Bernie Orne, who I met last year while doing some reporting down in OOB. While Kirsten and I opted to order mixed drinks, the club offers

for $8.49.

The Works is also home to a mouthwatering array of sandwiches (most cost $6.49), including fresh mozzarella, hummus, tuna, ham and Vermont cheddar,

beer on tap and in bottles, a fully stocked bar and a rainbow of Jell-O shots.

Take an afternoon break from the sun and get a cold drink while still being able to enjoy the beach. Or swing back to the beach after a day of tanning for some evening karaoke and a small dance floor, where you can shake it like Bernie – the one from the movie, not the owner.

smoked salmon, Thai chicken and several others. Grab one of those, a bag of Deep River chips, a beverage and a cookie, and man alive, you are good to go. For an even more tempting lunchable, grilled-toorder paninis such as the roast artichoke or the tuna melt ($6.49 to $6.79) might be just the thing.

I might add that The Works also has two daily soup specials ($3.29 cup; $4.29 bowl) and a variety of salads including the Mediterranean, the chef and the caesar ($4.99 to $6.99). There’s also freshly squeezed orange juice and yogurt with granola.

Point being, The Works is not just a bagel joint – it also offers a wide spectrum of edibles and beverages.

Speaking of beverages, if you just need a cup of fresh hot coffee, bring your own travel mug and knock yourself out for

$1.50. Yes, they have paper cups, but if you’re thrifty like me, it’s worth it for your wallet and the planet to bring your own vessel. And yes, they’ll also make you a cappuccino or a latte, and they have iced coffee.

You can also take home full or partial loaves of ciabatta, sourdough, Jewish rye and nine-grain loaves, among others, for $4.79 a pound.

Thanks, Works, for having consistently good food and drinks, for having staff who make me laugh, and more often than not, for playing decent music. Should you need to show you really, truly care about me, you’d bring back the banana walnut bagel. I’ll be waiting…

on parade

Saturday’s gay pride parade and festival boasts a full schedule of music, comedy, burlesque and more.

By AVERY YALE KAMILA Staff Writer

ith a vote on gay marriage looming in November, participants in Saturday’s Southern Maine Pride Parade & Festival are sure to be extra fired up and energized. The political message of equal marriage will be everywhere, weaving its way from the floats and the speakers to the overall theme.

“The theme changes every year, and this year it’s ‘The Power of Pride,’ ” said entertainment coordinator Sid Tripp. “Right now, this country is so polarized with gay marriage, we felt that the power of having pride is a very powerful position. So we wanted to show our strength going into this pride season and into this election season to really push for gay marriage in Maine.”

Now in its 26th year, the always colorful Portland event starts with the signature parade.

Off Beat: Underwear party (yes, underwear party) at Flask, E32 n Listings, E33

The Portland Press Herald/ Thursday, June 14, 2012

The lights go down and the pants come off at Flask

om Cruise pretty much launched his long career by dancing in his underwear during one memorable scene of “Risky Business.”

And certainly MTV is full of videos of folks dancing in their underwear – or a Frederick’s of Hollywood version of underwear, anyway.

But for average, solid, earlyrising Mainers, what possible reason could there be for dancing in one’s underwear?

Justin DarkCity, a Portland DJ, says there are plenty of reasons. He knows first-hand that if you throw an underwear dance party for Mainers, they will come.

He DJ’d such a party at Flask Lounge last year, and said at one point, people waited an hour and a half in line to get inside. It was so popular, he’s spinning tunes at another one this Saturday at Flask.

“I think it’s more to give people the freedom to do what they want to do.

Nightlife is about letting go, having fun, and forgetting about your responsibilities for the evening,” said DarkCity.

“The underwear is obviously optional.

We don’t force anyone to be in their underwear to get in the door.”

But it is $2 cheaper to get in – $3 instead of $5 – if you show up in underwear.

T

The party is being billed as a “Pride party,” and is being held on the same day as the annual Southern Maine Pride Parade and Festival.

The underwear party is not officially connected to the Pride festival, but is more of an “after-party” for folks who might have gone to the festivities earlier in the day, DarkCity said.

It’ll be strictly a dance party, with no speeches or other events.

Just dancing – in your underwear.

DarkCity, by the way, is not his real name. But he says that’s his DJ’ing, underwear party-throwing name and all the nightlife people know him by it.

And he’d rather not mix his nighttime persona with his day job persona.

What happens at the underwear party stays at the underwear party. Or something like that.

DarkCity says he got the idea to have

an underwear party because some friends of his began taking off their pants – and dancing in their underwear – at clubs where he was spinning the tunes.

“This seemed to catch on, and my nights became known for a lack of shirts and pants. Mostly pants,” he said.

He then went to the management at Flask and asked to have an official underwear party, and got a resounding yes.

One major factor about an underwear dance party, DarkCity says, is that it’s much easier to throw than, say, a costume dance party. It takes some effort to come up with a costume.

But for most of us, putting on underwear every day is pretty much routine.

“When it comes to underwear, (almost) everyone is already in costume.

All they need to do to participate is make the decision to take their pants off,” he said.

So what is considered to be underwear? Well, in the spirit of giving folks freedom, there are no rules. Anything people wear or could wear underneath their work clothes would qualify, from bras, panties, slips and camisoles to briefs, boxers and thongs.

“Full-on lingerie sets were in attendance (last year), superhero inspired briefs, and just about everything else,” said DarkCity. “ I hope to see some ridiculous stuff this year.”

UNDERWEAR PARTY WITH DARKCITY WHEN: 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday WHERE: Flask Lounge, 117 Spring St., Portland HOW MUCH: $5 ($3 if you’re in your underwear); free before 9 p.m.; 21 and over.

INFO: flasklounge.com; 772-3122

The music for the party will include electro-house, pop, hip hop, funk, soul and underground stuff.

Lighting will be kept to a minimum, DarkCity said, because “a darker environment has a whole host of benefits.”

stand bedecked in scarves – or Diego Boneta, aspiring metal singer, will tear into Foreigner’s “Jukebox Hero,” or Alec Baldwin and Russell Brand and the rest of the cast blast “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and director Alan Shankman (“Hairspray”) will go for some cheap laugh and utterly undercut the moment.

Maybe the music, the fashion, the whole rapacious testosterone vibe of that spandex, eye-shadow, poodle-haired era is laughable. But it’s one thing to poke fun at something, quite another to attack it with utter contempt. That’s the feel here.

Would you let a guy who hates corn and corny film “Oklahoma!”?

“Rock of Ages,” which discards quite a bit of the book of the stage musical it’s based on, swirls around Jaxx, who staggers onstage for his farewell show at the Sunset Strip’s famed “Bourbon Room,” and prepares to launch a solo career.

Sherrie, a new waitress and would-be singer (Julianne Hough), and bartenderguitarist Drew (Boneta) dream of living the rock-god life Stacee leads.

But it’s 1987, and that world is about to change. The film says it’s rap and boy bands that will kill the moussed music (musicians say it was grunge that did them in).

The Bourbon Room is under pressure from the mayor’s wife (Catherine ZetaJones), a cross between Anita Bryant and Tipper Gore, who pledges to “clean up Sunset Strip” and “take Satan off our streets.” She and her fellow Mothers

Against Drunk Rockers then kick into a rowdy-raunchy rendition of “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”

Drew writes songs for Sherrie, Sherrie moons over Drew, but fame ruins romance in La La Land.

“The spotlight doesn’t just light them up.

It’s makes us disappear,” another waitress warns Sherrie.

Thus, does Miss Innocent from Oklahoma wind up in a strip club run by Mary J. Blige, who delivers what passes for a show-stopper here – “Any Way You Want It,” with a choreographed crew of VERY athletic pole dancers behind her.

You will be amazed at the actors who take on singing, often for the first time onscreen (Baldwin, Malin Akerman as a sexy Rolling Stone reporter, Paul Giamatti as Stacee’s sleazy manager) and don’t embarrass themselves. Cruise, in particular, is a demented delight to watch, all jewel-encrusted dragon’s head codpiece, buttless chaps and self-serious drunken swagger.

But the songs, with a few exceptions, lack the urgency of the original renditions.

The leads (Hough and Boneta) are so bland and thin-voiced that they seem out of step with 1987, even if they’re exactly what we get from pop stars in our Autotune era.

You will be stunned at how leg-spreadingly crude (fitting the MTV of the times, and the music) a PG-13 movie can be.

Miami was nicely dressed down for a film fantasy version of Sunset Strip in the ’80s – vulgar leather and neon and sports cars and muggers.

But seriously, Brother Shankman, what’s the point of making “I Love Rock ‘n’ Roll: The Musical,” if you don’t?

PRIDE

Left: People of all ages join together to carry a 900foot-long rainbow flag during the 2011 pride parade in Portland.

Below: Comedian Khris Francis will serve as master of ceremonies for this year’s event, and perform as the closing act. Mixing impersonation and songs with his jokes, Francis has graced stages across the country, and is a regular at clubs in Ogunquit.

Continued from PageE31 The parade begins at Monument Square at 12:30 p.m. and winds its way down to Deering Oaks Park, where music and entertainment will take place all afternoon.

More than 40 groups and organizations plan to march in the parade. The procession will be led by Portland Mayor Michael Brennan and Portland Police Chief Mike Sauschuck, who will serve as grand marshals.

Last year, organizers moved the location of the festival within the park. Because the move proved successful, the new location will be used again this year, which means the festivities will line the park near Deering and Park avenues. The stage will be set up by the duck pond.

“It makes for a really nice setting, and it doesn’t put so much pressure on the farmers market” that takes place in the park in the morning, Tripp said.

Comedian Khris Francis will serve as master of ceremonies for the festival and perform as the closing act.

“He’s a crowd favorite,” Tripp said.

“We’re very lucky to have him. He’s very funny, he’s very witty. The audience loves him. He’s ruffled some feathers in the past with some of his comments, but generally speaking, comedians are people who keep us real.”

Mixing impersonation and songs with his jokes, Francis has graced stages across the country, and is a regular at clubs in Ogunquit.

“I’m an adult comedian,” Francis said. “I really have to watch my language. If I say something a little bit racy, I say it in a way a child couldn’t understand. I used to be a schoolteacher, and I don’t like kids to hear things that aren’t age-appropriate.”

This serves as a good reminder that the festival does attract all sorts of people.

“We have families that come, but we also have people who dress provocatively,” Tripp said. He recommends that parents be mindful that their children could see scantily clad people and hear sexual innuendos at the event.

Performers include Naya’s Trace Belly Dancers, the burlesque group Red Hot & Lady Like and the cast from the Maine State Music Theater, which will perform excerpts from “Legally Blonde” and “A Chorus Line.” Drag queens Miss Veronika, Miss Samantha and Miss Joann will all take a turn on the stage.

Live music will come from indie Appalachian duo Tina & Her Pony, singer/ songwriter Lauren Bateman and singer/

songwriters MeCa. Along with the entertainment, Tripp said the park will be filled with more than 20 food vendors and a number of organizations handing out information and organizing children’s activities.

Those who plan to attend should bring lawn chairs or a blanket to sit on. Picnics are welcome, but alcohol and smoking are not allowed in the park. There is no charge to attend the festival.

Noting that gay people still face prejudice, discrimination and bigotry in addition to being denied the right to marry, Francis quipped, “We’re not going away.

Heterosexuals keep having sex and making gay children.”
