Lockhouse Distillery Releases Artist Series Pride Label Vodka

In Honor of Buffalo Pride Week  2019

Lockhouse Distillery & Bar will be releasing a Pride Label Vodka – the latest entry in their Artist Series – on Tuesday, May 28th, 2019 at 7pm, at 41 Columbia Street in Buffalo’s Historic Cobblestone District.  Buffalo’s first distillery to operate since Prohibition has teamed up with local artist Mickey Harmon to design a limited edition label for their signature vodka that honors the contributions of Stonewall activists Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, in addition to celebrating the diversity of the entire LGBTQ+ community.  $4 from every bottle sold will be donated directly to the Pride Center of Western New York.

“Lockhouse proudly holds fundraising events throughout the year to benefit both the Pride Center of Western New York and the Evergreen Foundation,” said Thomas Jablonski, Lockhouse Partner.  “When the opportunity came up to expand on our Artist Series label collection, celebrating Buffalo Pride Week was the obvious choice.  We knew that Mickey Harmon was up to the task, and he delivered a captivating, beautiful, and inclusive design that goes beyond the standard homogenous imagery people sometimes associate with Pride.”

Lockhouse Pride Label Vodka will be available at Lockhouse for $35 per bottle during and after the release party.  A special vodka cocktail menu will be served at the bar for the event.  Bottles will not be available in stores.  All sales are first come, first serve.  As this is a limited release, bottles will only be available until the distillery sells out.

White House blindsided after Melania Trump speaks about partying with Jeffrey Epstein



White House officials were reportedly blindsided after first lady Melania Trump gave a surprise address in which she admitted partying with two of the country's most infamous sex offenders, Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

During an address at the White House, Trump decried the "lies" linking her to Epstein and Maxwell.

"I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation. I've never been friends with Epstein. Donald and I were invited to the same parties, as Epstein from time to time, since overlapping in social circles is common in New York City and Palm Beach," the first lady said. "To be clear, I never had a relationship with Epstein or his accomplice, Maxwell. My email reply to Maxwell cannot be characterized as anything more than casual correspondence."

"I'm not a witness or a named witness in connection with any of Epstein's crimes. My name has never appeared in court documents, the depositions, victim statements, or FBI in interviews surrounding the Epstein matter. I have never had any knowledge of Epstein's abuse of his victims. I was never involved in any capacity. I was not a participant, was never on Epstein's plane, and never visited his private island. I have never been legally accused or convicted of a crime in connection with Epstein sex trafficking, abuse of minors, and other repulsive behavior," she insisted.

Trump, however, did not spend as much time defending her husband.

"Now is the time for Congress to act. Epstein was not alone," she said. "Several prominent male executives resigned from their powerful positions after this matter became widely politicized. Of course, this doesn't amount to guilt, but we still must work openly and transparently to uncover the truth."

Following the speech, MS NOW's Jake Taylor reported that White House officials "were caught off guard by her statement."
