FOREPLAY 2011 Kicks Off New Jersey’s LGBT Pride Celebration with a twist!
Asbury Park, NJ - New Jersey’s leather, bear and kink communities are gearing up for FOREPLAY 2011. The event runs from 1 pm to 6 pm on Saturday June 4, 2011, at Paradise - 101 Asbury Ave., Asbury Park, NJ. A kick-off event for New Jersey’s GLBTIQ Pride Weekend, the FOREPLAY party has become a hot ticket, attracting people from all over the state and the surrounding areas from Boston to DC. Now in its sixth year, the FOREPLAY party is a “must attend” tradition for many in our community, with attendance doubling each year since the event launched in 2005.
“I have been looking forward to
FOREPLAY all year”
says Morgaine, Ms NJ
Leather 2010. “It’s a chance for leather folk, bears,
skater boys, steam punks and so many other parts of the
community to come out and enjoy Pride Weekend together.”
FOREPLAY 2011 will once again entertainment, a Leather Flea Market, play space, games, a tattoo contest sponsored by Neptune Tattooville and hundreds of hot men and women. The talented members of The Bootblack Brigade will again be on hand to service the crowd.
“Over 600 people attended last year’s party. We have had to expand to a much larger space this year,” said Tom Savage, FOREPLAY’s Logistics Coordinator. “We choose to stay in the downtown business district again this year, and our new host The Lazy Dog Saloon has been great to work with. We believe the change in venue will make Foreplay 2011 a party not to be missed.”
FOREPLAY features live performances by some of the Northeast’s most popular LGBT entertainers. This year we're proud to welcome some new artists/entertainers to the fold. We're excited to welcome David Gerlitzki aka "DJ Re-tic", who will be tearing up the sound system with classic and current house beats and rough electro sounds. Performers lined up for this year will include Lady Marisa, one of Asbury Park’s favorite drag performers and the ever popular Josh Zuckerman.
“With each year, we’ve been proud to see FOREPLAY grow into something more than we could have imagined six years ago. As more and more individuals, groups, organizations and businesses seek us out to participate in the party, we’re able to add more things for people to enjoy, and most importantly, celebrate our diversity and individuality as members of NJ’s LGBT community” says Dan Tamez, Foreplay’s Volunteer Coordinator. “We are especially glad to announce that joining Jersey Pride as a beneficiary once again this year will be The Open Space Project, whose drop in center for young GLBTIQ people in the Asbury Park area has been so desperately needed.
Anyone interested in volunteering, making a donation, becoming a sponsor or hosting a booth should visit the website or e-mail us.
With our new location, more entertainment & community groups participating than ever before, FOREPLAY 2011 will kick off this year’s Jersey Pride Celebration like never before!
