On this occasion we are going to be celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the International Community of Women Living with ICW and the 10th anniversary of the MSMGF (The Global Forum on MSM & HIV). Big party for a couple of big deals! NPNP is a community driven event, that was started in Montreal in 2004 and to create spaces that challenge sexual and gender binaries, critical inner (and outer) self-dialogue about bodies and sexual privilege in a pantless, and socially conscious hot mess! The premise is easy; you come, you drop your pants (and leave them in the pant check), you dance in your underwear, kiss a few cuties, and then dance some more to the party tunes (they kind where the more words you know the better). If you're lucky you won't be going home alone. And for that there will be a safer sex/harm reduction materials on site with a bunch of condoms, gloves, and many other goodies. Brent Allan and the MSMGF team will be once again hosting a saucy games room. Limber up for some Twister, Spin the Bottle and other scandalous games. We are so excited at please to hold NPNP at Origins Nightclub. Origins is 3 stories of fun, hosting 5 dancefloors and play spaces. Things are going to be hot! Party goers will be able to witness the best kisser of the summer of AIDS 2016- dare to be in the NPNP Kissing Competition and smooch for this important title for any Tinder/Grinder/Ok Cupid or other dating profile! Fabulous queer artist performances plus other fun and secret guests. Non-stop dance tunes by the best DJs ever including DJ Cozmic Cat (Canada), DJ Nic Hotass (Australia), and others to be announced.
