“Just Say Love”

Sunday, September 19, 2010 at 4:00 and Monday, September 20, 2010 at 7:30

@ Richmond Triangle Players Theatre

As part of VA Pride’s September takeover culminating in our annual PrideFest, we would like to present two special screenings of “Just Say Love”. Come out and celebrate Pride month in the commonwealth with us!

Physical attractions appear to be the obvious explanation for two people to become a pair. But are they really the reflection of something sublime, everlasting or dare we say, spiritual? Do relationships start in the bedroom or in the heart? In this male love story, the bliss described by Joseph Campbell and sages throughout the millennia is a practical option for finding happiness. As the camera delves into the character’s minds and actions we find fulfillment on both a physical and spiritual level. Stagewright Films will bring you closer to the story through a magical combination of stage and film.

$5 per person (which will benefit VaPride and Richmond Triangle Players)

About 2BNB

To The Bottom And Back (2BNB) normally operates buses on a continuous loop throughout the major arteries in the city from 6pm to 3am, Thursday-Saturday. 2BNB bridges the gap between the Fan district and the East End/Downtown, an area approximately 5 miles long, and aims to fill the void that existing public transportation creates. They will stop anywhere along the route for a pick up or drop off.

Donate

Shuttle transportation on the PrideBus is provided completely free of charge through generous support of 2BNB, club owners, and GayRVA to reduce drunk driving the night of PrideFest.  2bNB accepts tips on the bus to support its mission.  You can also pledge by clicking here.

In an effort to make sure all these changes are managed as smooth as possible, VA Pride is seeking dedicated volunteers for the event as well as the days and weeks leading up to the festival.   If you have ever wanted to be part of VAPride, this is your opportunity!

There will be many exciting new opportunities with this new festival plan.  There will also be some sections which we have used in the past with great success.  Although early morning and evening shifts will require the most hands, the entire day will be dedicated to enjoyment of not only those visiting the event, but for our wonderful volunteers as well.

Shifts are as follows.
