Comfort & Joy lovingly presents the 14th evolution of our legendary blacklight discotheque: Afterglow 2018! Grab your dayglo, come play and shake what your momma gave you all night long at SF Pride's premier Pink Saturday party.
Just as we remix this revelry each year, all of us already possess the inner power and beauty we need to remix this world. With everything going on, it's easy for the fabric of our lives to start feeling frayed - but all the lovely scraps in our community can also be mended into something stronger, we just have to reach out and start tying knots.
That’s what Comfort & Joy strives to achieve - bringing all sorts of queer family together to celebrate each person’s unique light and collectively work to foster a more loving and inclusive future - and what we hope to create with you at this year’s Afterglow.
On center stage at 1am the magnificent Grace Towers and HAUS of Towers dancers will mesmerize you with our main show. Get hungry.
To heighten your euphoric bliss, we’ll also be serving up:
Special electric violin journey with Keith Law, Grammy-nominated virtuoso who’s played with everyone from Quincy Jones to Andrea Bocelli
Pole-dancing powerhouses Aurora Rose and Cezar Lopez
Glow hooping go go boy wonders Liam Ocean and Dylan Bradley of the Electric Spectrum LED Circus
As always Comfort & Joy’s empress of neon Chickpea and her amazing team of co-creating artists will be casting high witchery and fluorescent splendor, alongside phantasmic projections by the wondrous Visuals By 3. [Full artist list to be announced]
We’re also delighted Chickpea (Brian Busta) is the 2018 SF Pride Community Grand Marshall and will have a gaggle of afterglow, after-all-night realness with her at the pride parade Sunday!
To keep the dance beats delicious and deep-throbbing from doors open until 6am, our dazzling line-up of DJs will include:
