This is what bittersweet tastes like π
When AutHaus organized the first Indiana Pride Festival 3 years ago, it was done by about 2 and a half people, 1 homeless couch hopper, a community bursting at the seams with eager passion, and an unspoken readiness for a new wave of q***r visibility and vitality. Together, we undoubtedly hatched a renaissance of q***r culture sprinkled with an alternative flare here in Indiana, PA. We put on unforgettable shows, cleaned up our streets, and collectively grew into a powerhouse greater than any individual. 3 years, 1,095 days, we fought diligently to get the Festival approved by the Boro. 1, 2, 3 times our motion carried favorably and thus, history, herstory, and our story was cemented for future generations. We promised, we committed, we spoke when our voices shook, we persisted, and together, alongside one another, we stood by our word. For without all of you, none of this would be possible.
AutHaus is ready to pass on the torch to the next generation. We have assembled a multitude of tools and resources to ensure that the job can continue to get done in ways greater than we have ever imagined. As for Kat P**s, she will still be around, still helping as much as possible, and will still host events. As for AutHaus - we have even more historic plans mapped out for y'all and Indiana, PA as a whole. We will be expanding our horizons and moving in the direction of an art house. A lady always knows when to leave and we are ready to successfully close this chapter of our journey and start writing the next.
Thank you so very much to the fans and audience. Above all, y'all are the blood that flows through our veins and your applause is the air that blows through our lungs. Thank you to those who have and continue to collab with us. Thank you to all of the people who have come, gone, and stayed along the way. Thank you to the countless businesses who supported us. Last but not least, thank you to our best friends over at Pride Alliance Indiana PA - together we sure do give them hell. So, join us April 26th at the Indiana Theater for our semi-formal, Pride Benefit Gala and a Farewell performance as we say thank you and so long. But not too long xoxo
