It's at the Block Gallery Coffeehouse on the rotary in Winooski, right off Main Street on the corner. Show from 6p-8p. The show is free to attend, although donations are accepted. All proceeds benefit Pride!  How 'bout a good ol' fashioned pancake breakfast with our rainbowy community, all to support a great cause? Come down to The First Universalist Unitarian Society on 152 Pearl Street in Burlington THIS Sunday (Father's Day) sometime between 9am-11:30am for Pride's Dad's Day Pridecake Breakfast. Click the pancakes to go to the facebook event! Plates are donation-based, so give generously if you're able and don't fret if you're not. They'll have delish toppings and all pancakes are cooked with love from local folk. As it should be, as it should be. What better place to bring a date for a deliciously smooth morning after? And for that idea, you may thank me later. Oh now? Alright then- you're welcome. While I was on the hunt for recent pancake news. I came across Gay Gourmet's cutie chef, Michael Muñoz, showing how to cook (giant breath in) RED VELVET PANCAKES! Mmmmm GIRL!
