PURE Pride Entertainment has made a name for themselves by putting on great events, and this year’s party on Saturday September 1st at Flames Central promises to be of the same calibre.

Dale Plourde, owner of PURE Pride, was pumped; he told me "PURE Pride is now The official party of Pride Calgary. I am billing this years’ Pure Pride event in Calgary as the biggest, sexiest Pride in Calgary history by bringing such stars in as [Porn Star] Spencer Reed and Chad Michaels, star of the TV show RuPaul’s Drag Race. Calgary is the last big Pride in Canada for 2012...I see it as having great potential to be one of the big Pride destinations and I am excited to be part of it."

This year, the upstairs balcony at Flames Central will be open and VIP tables will be available for reserved. In addition, VIP ticket holders will party with the PURE Pride cast and crew - including a meet and greet with the stars of the show: Chad Micheals and Spencer Reed. Consequently, many people are excited not just at the chance to attend a circuit-style party happening in our city; they’re hyped to see THE sexy man, the very hunky Spencer Reed, adult entertainment star.

He has been to Canada many times before, yet this will be his first time in Calgary. As an adult entertainer, Spencer has put in guest appearances at many circuit parties, so he has a good idea of what makes such an event a success. Spencer told me a great party needs a good mix of music, venue, entertainers and crowd, "...but I think overall the people are most important. You can have it all but if the crowd is not good then the party won’t be either." Given how well the party was received last year, and that it’s back in the venue that made it a success, 2012’s iteration should be incredible.

And as part of this year’s performance, expect an amazing display from Spencer. "I always go for the show value with my show. I want to leave the audience saying Wow, did that really just happen? Of course if anyone wants to meet and take a photo, I’m always happy to do so. Besides that I’ll be chasing sexy Canadian boys around."

Unfortunately, Spencer will be too busy to engage in his second career, that of a DJ. The party has that covered, what with headliner Nick Bertossi (Vancouver), who is getting a reputation as Canada’s hottest up-and-coming house Remixer/Producer. You’ll also get into the groove with DJs Jay Fraid, LEDJ, and Dopamine.

Dale Plourde from Pure Pride was exuberant about coming back to Calgary. "Flames Central is one of the nicest venues that I have seen in Canada...featuring a twenty feet by 30 feet video backdrop on the stage which allows us to get very creative with the show." Yet it’s not just the venue, or the music, or the entertainers that does it for him. "Most of all, I appreciate the excitement and support that the people bring to the party. Seeing all the smiling faces makes it all worthwhile!" The night will be filled with energy, sexiness, non-stop surprises, spectacle, and an amazing time where everybody feels welcome.

An amazing time where everybody feels welcome is something we all remember from Pride celebrations, even an entertainer like Spencer. "Well I remember my first Pride...I remember the feeling of all the Pride parades I have been to. It’s special that we can all join in the streets and celebrate the diversity and freedom of our culture. Pride is just freedom and it’s beautiful!" Beyond that, Spencer does promise that he’ll do his part to make this Pride party memorable: "I’m ready for a wicked weekend in Calgary. Hope you all can show me a great time."
