Check this out: Girl4GIRL, a monthly dance party just for the ladies in Seattle is headed to Portland! I’m seriously excited about this—this event is massive up north: Think a gigantic warehouse teeming with at least 1,000 women every month (most of the gals are queer—you can get a bracelet at the door if you want to signal that you’re looking to get lucky—but all women are welcome), plus awesome DJs, go-go dancers, and celebrity guests.

Girl4GIRL: One Hot Dance Party

Meanwhile, the woman who puts these monthly megabashes together, Chris Chappon, is a take-no-prisoners pro (I wrote about her in Seattle a few years back), who’ll do whatever it takes to put on the best event in town. Example: At Girl4GIRL’s first night in a new venue in Seattle—a venue that apparently thought an all-women’s event wasn’t going to be needing BOTH bathrooms—I witnessed Chris personally track down the key to the men’s room, throw the door open, eliciting a cheer from the women in a looooong line for the ladies’ room.

Girl4GIRL now serving Portland, Oregon:

It’s no secret that both cities share similarities and many women in Seattle and Portland have become friends over the years. Hundreds of women from Portland have flooded our events over the last couple of years and Girl4GIRL is now trying to bridge the gap between the 2 cities! After much research and many trips to the Portland area, we set our sights on the Wonder Ballroom! Both Neumos in Seattle and the Wonder Ballroom in Portland are similar in styles and have agreed to strongly support Girl4GIRL’s vision and accommodate our guests with the care and dedication the women deserve!

The Wonder Ballroom is a beautifully restored historic building constructed in 1914. With vaulted ceilings, a sparkling refinished maple floor and plenty of free parking, the Wonder Ballroom is a versatile facility for a wide variety of performances and events.

From Wonder Ballroom!
Wonder Ballroom’s General Manager, Howie Bierbaum is thrilled that Girl4GIRL has chosen Wonder for its monthly happenings. “Portland’s ready for something new, exciting and adventurous,” he said. Presently, Portland area women have few nightlife options but Girl4GIRL will surely change that in a big way. We are thrilled to have such a high caliber event at Wonder.”
