That's what we hear each year the week leading up to Pride, "Are you going to Juanita's?" No questions about that parade along Market Street. No queries about any dyke march. Nary a request to check out the live show at Civic Center. San Francisco Gay Pride is, and always has been for many locals, about going to Juanita More's (in)famous party at the Phoenix Hotel/Chambers. And what a scene it is, overflowing with flesh, perfect music, lots and lots of booze, and more. A lot more. This year, however, the party will be pieced into two locations: the first part at Chamber, in the heart of the Tenderloin, and the second at Jones, an open-air venue just above Geary.

SFist talked to More about why she decided to mix things up. She explains:

"I started thinking about having my annual Pride Party at two venues after the success of my Halloween party at Jones last fall. Over the past eight years the Phoenix / Bambuddha / Chambers space has gone through many changes. I know that it still conjures up images of a 'pool party' — though they haven't let anyone swim in that pool since 2005! The party is BIG. What started out as a little alternative party for my friends and I, has now turned itself into something of a legend with a life of its own. And, I'm proud to be the catalyst to support a different local non-profit each year with this event.

"I was asked when planning the event early this year: "'Do you think last years attendance was a fluke?' I was a little shocked. I feel like I'm on loop on a roller coaster ride; nothing I do is headed to stopping. By adding Jones into the mix, I am creating a completely new feel to the party this year. It's going to be sexy. Sexy...after dark. What I'm planning at Jones is like nothing else I've ever done before. Once night falls at the Phoenix / Chambers space the venue starts pushing everyone out. This year I'm giving my guests somewhere to be pushed out too. And, all for $25 the same price it has always been - bus ride included.

"No matter where this party is, it is my heartfelt goal to make each attendee feel like a guest in my own home."
