Colorado Springs PrideFest 2012: A conversation with Rockstar Aaron

By Drew Wilson

Rockstar Aaron brings his pink mohawk and his prodigious DJ skills to the 7th Annual High & Mighty White Party at The Underground this weekend for Colorado Springs PrideFest 2012!


We had ourselves a little kiki about it and here's how that conversation went.

Drew: Have you worked The Underground or Colorado Springs Pride before? What do you like about it and why are you excited for the weekend?

Rockstar Aaron: I haven’t played at the Underground yet, but I have been playing during Colorado Springs PrideFest the last few years. I play in the Springs about once a month, it’s always a fun crowd! They are re-opening the Hide & Seek complex soon which I am looking forward to.

What are some of your favorite songs/artists of summer 2012 so far?

Scissor Sister’s new album 'Magic Hour' makes me wet!

I love the Ben CastaƱeda's Reconstruction Mashup Mix of “Let Me Think About A Kiki.”

I really enjoy all songs that have anything to do with a party. I can’t get enough of 212 (feat. Lazy Jay) by Azealia Banks. The new Fergie featuring Pitbull, Feel Alive, is hot.

One of my favorite DJ remixers is DJ Reidiculous, check out his mixes.

Why should readers of MileHighGayGuy come out to Colorado Springs PrideFest and Underground?

Hotel rooms are affordable, drinks are as cheap as my look.

Now that Don't Ask, Don't Tell has been overturned do you think that the place will be crawling with sexy military men trying to gay-marry Rockstar Aaron and MileHighGayGuy?

Yes.

Where can we find out more about Rockstar Aaron and his millions of parties and appearances?

Visit my website www.RockstarAaron.com. You can also add my Facebook page  or follow me on Twitter.
