Impulse Pittsburgh Presents: Party like a Rock Star!

We wanted to first, as usual thank all of you for a successful event in March. We had almost 500 in attendance! We are so lucky to have such a loyal group of women and are always pleased to see the messages we get, on our wall and privately, about how you were able to make new friends that night! We are SO excited for this month’s Impulse!! Details:

About the Event

Age: 21+ We are sorry to make this announcement, but this party at Mr Smalls will be 21+ only because of liability issues that have come up that were not apparent before. We are so sorry for our under 21 crowd, we know there’s not a lot going on for you guys but we promise that we will do our best to make a couple future events 18+ so that you can join us in the festivities. You guys are VERY important to us! Of a few legal and liability issues that came up, we have had to change the age on this one. We are sorry for getting your hopes up! We have been speaking to the community and local LGBT groups about doing more for our 18-21 community, please stay tuned and know good things are on the horizon For those who are 21+, there will be no barricades and you are permitted to go where ever you want with your alcoholic beverages inside the venue and out on the deck

About the Venue

You heard me right. For the first time ever, Impulse Pittsburgh is hosting its event at a real rock venue! Mr Smalls is a theatre with a soundstage only 7 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh. And if you haven’t been here in a while, they’ve completely redone the inside, and it looks great! The acoustics inside are incredible, and DJ Steph will be rocking the beats from the large stage. The dance area is spacious, and they even have their own in-house lighting system. The venue comfortably fits hundreds of people and will give us a lot of wiggle room. Here are some main components:

3 Bars. You heard right! 2 bars in the main stage area. 1 Bar upstairs in the VIP area.

A VIP area on the Balcony with separate rooms. Anyone is invited to the VIP balcony area. They’re perfect conversation rooms where you can look down over the crowd. Has its own private bar

An outdoor covered deck. It will be April, and this is your way to enjoy some of the crisp spring weather!

Theme

We’re going to make this as close to a rock concert experience as possible! With the venue, the stage, the music that you love, and the lights, you’ll be partying like a rock star. Although the dress theme is optional, we recommend wearing your tough girl gear: Band T-Shirts, boots, plaid skirts, dark colors, etc.

Recruit Recruit Recruit!!

We all know lesbians love softball. And we know softball is in season with a lot of teams looking for players and players looking for teams. If you are on a sports league and want to recruit, wear your team’s shirt or bring a signup sheet. Feel free to approach groups of friends and see if they know anyone who is interested. Remember, most of these teams don’t require experience!

Photographer and DJ

DJ Steph will be pumping top 40′s dance tunes all night long. She takes requests!

Photographer to capture more sexy/cute/insane moments. If you want a group picture with your friends for Facebook, feel free to ask our photographer! If you don’t want any record of this night, add your name to our list at the front table, and we’ll make sure not to put up any pics of you. We’re very strict about this policy!

Safety

We want to make every Impulse experience enjoyable and safe for anyone who attends. Impulse is not a privilege, it is a right. Being a gay woman is hard in our city, and therefore we should have the RIGHT to have opportunities like Impulse and Lez Liquor Hour. Therefore, we are adding increased security at this venue so no one ruins the opportunity of Impulse for their own selfish reasons. Should you be caught doing anything you’re not supposed to, including but not limited to:

Smoking pot, getting into fights, threatening anybody, arguing with staff or security, drinking if you’re underage, damaging property, etc.

You will be thrown out and banned from our events for life. There are no warnings or second chances. We will have girls who work for Impulse walking around and making sure everyone is having a safe and enjoyable time as well as in-staff bouncers. For those who come to Impulse to have a fun time and meet new friends, we are fully committed to protecting your safety so we never have any incidents. We promise to work hard for you to make every Impulse an experience to remember so we can continue to be the largest LGBTQ Women’s event in the Western PA region.

Parking

There is ample and free parking along the streets near the church- the cross street from Lincoln Ave has businesses that will be closed, so there will be plenty of on-street parking. Also, there is a bank right across the street from the church that people can park in because the bank will be closed. You should have no issues.

Ways to Mingle if you’re Single

We will be doing Singles Bracelets again!! When you enter, you will be offered an orange bracelet you can wear if you are single, making it a little easier to mingle with others! Remember, ORANGE bracelet means single. So just look for a neon orange color on their wrist.
