Homo / Party! / Tip Queer Rock Camp!

Posted by on Thu, Jul 26, 2012 at 3:52 PM

Whoa, did you know there is a Queer Rock Camp going on in Olympia right now? And they have workshops for campers ages 12-21 on stenciling, drag, songwriting and guitar/drum/bass/vocal lessons? (It's kind of hard to curb how super jealous I am that these awesome kids/girls/queer rock camps are around nowadays—when I was a teenager I wasted so much time thinking that to be in a band, you had to be a guy who got guitar lessons and knew how to play sweet Led Zeppelin covers).

The campers go through workshops, form bands, and write an original song, which culminates in a performance showcase at the Capitol Theater in downtown Olympia this Saturday. Visit the Queer Rock Camp website for more details!

I don't know... I think the bass playing otter is the cutest. In a nerdy, understated kind of way.

I like how Keyboard Leopard is just curling up with her piano.

Stellar! Props for the mushrooms on the raccoon's tank and the sunflowers on the leopard's top.

Wait, I'm starting to like the fox more. I can't decide.

The Queer Rock Camp band showcase in Olympia last night was most excellent and inspiring:
