Saturday is Brooklyn Pride, but that doesn’t mean you have to wait for the weekend to celebrate — there are events [throughout the borough](http://brooklynpride.org/pride-events?ref=bklyner.com) all week, including [tomorrow’s tribute](http://brooklynpride.org/ai1ec%5Fevent/june-7-a-tribute-storme-dlarverie?instance%5Fid=&ref=bklyner.com) to legendary crusader/drag performer/Stonewall-era lesbian bar-bouncer [Storme DeLarverie](http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/28/nyregion/28storme.html?ref=bklyner.com) at the Brooklyn Society for Ethical Culture on Prospect Park West.

Meanwhile, an extensive roster of Park Slope bars and restaurants are offering discounts and specials as part of Pride Happy Hour (or at least, we’re guessing it’s an extensive roster. It was [last year](http://www.parkslopefifthavenuebid.com/happyhour2011?ref=bklyner.com). This year’s offerings — and timeframe — are still TBD).

And then it’s onto the afterparties! In Park Slope:

> Performances including feminist hip-hop collective 3XLADYCREW, Violet Temper, Mik Kinkead, & Glenn Marla!! Music by DJ Libr8! Food! Drinks! Films from Transy House’s history! $10 suggested donation, no one turned away for lack of funds.

UPDATED: More Afterparties (in Gowanus, technically, but who’s counting?)
