SDPIX celebrates 10 years!

SAN DIEGO – In today’s economy, it is often difficult for small-business owners to stay afloat for more than a few years. Some, though, have worked their way through the economic challenges and only grow and thrive.

Such is the case with Hale Media, the parent company of San Diego Pix (SDPIX) and San Diego Gay & Lesbian News (SDGLN), which will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of its SDPIX brand this Saturday night with a party at “Laser Party” at Rich’s nightclub.

VIDEO: Davina Love's "Dance Again" available to view online

SAN DIEGO -- The "Dance Again" San Diego Pride music video, which debuted in the days leading up to last weekend's festivities, has been released on YouTube.

Starring Davina Love and featuring Sean Paul Lockhart, the video is a San Diego version of Jennifer Lopez and Pit Bull's hit "Dance Again." Filmed in numerous locations, including Babycakes, Rich's, and at the backyard pool at the home of Rich's general manager Ryan Bedrosian, numerous local community members are seen dancing in the fun video.
