http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php Your international source for circuit parties. en publisher@noiZemag.com Copyright 2010 2010-09-05T15:26:53+00:00 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/white_party_week/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/white_party_week/ For 25 years, White Party at Vizcaya has been the crown jewel of the Circuit. Few places in the world evoke the same level of glamour as the palatial Villa Vizcaya on Biscayne Bay, and every year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving, thousands of people in white wander the impeccably landscaped grounds — drinking, eating and dancing in a haze of romantic fantasy. All of the official dance parties and cultural events of White Party Week raise much-needed funds for Care Resource, the South Florida community-based AIDS service organization. This year’s theme is Cirque du Monde, a reference to Cirque du Soleil’s new home in South Florida — and there’s no question that White Party will be even sexier and more sultry than ever before. A truly unforgettable experience, White Party at Villa Vizcaya is a slice of heaven here on Earth.  November 24, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/palm_springs_pride/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/palm_springs_pride/ Taking place in the Palm Springs Baseball Stadium, the Greater Palm Springs Pride Festival brings more than 40,000 people to the region to help celebrate Pride in this desert oasis. Then, on Sunday morning, bright and early at 10 a.m., there’s the Greater Palm Springs Pride Parade, filled with the fabulous and flamboyant for which this town has long been recognized. If you missed White Party Palm Springs, get yourself to Palm Springs Pride and see why this town has so many clothing-optional resorts. Hint: it ain’t only the sun that makes this town hot. November 6, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/club_atlantis_vallarta/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/club_atlantis_vallarta/ This is the vacation that started it all and turned Atlantis Events into the premier gay holiday provider. Mexico’s most popular gay destination, Puerto Vallarta is the locale for an all-gay resort week filled with fun, food, parties, sports, and outdoor adventures. The stunning oceanfront Vallarta Palace (with four fabulous restaurants) is your home for the week; sit back and relax, grab a chaise and watch the sun rise and set and rise again. Mexico’s gorgeous coastline has never looked so good as when you’re walking hand in hand with your special papi chulo.  November 6, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/rapido_halloween/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/rapido_halloween/ Recently, Amsterdam has been neck-and-neck with London, Barcelona and Berlin as the nightlife capital of Europe, thanks in no small part to this fabulously successful party. With more than 10 annual events marked by spectacular lighting and cutting-edge performances, Rapido’s 12-hour-plus dance marathons earned Rapido the 2009 award for Edge Publications’ “Best Recurring International Party.” Housed in a former church, and once known as Paradiso, Rapido has balconies, alcoves, and hidden spaces that make this a pleasure palace for defrocked priests and other incubi who emerge during Halloween in Amsterdam. This year, Rapido brings dynamic duo DJ Hector Fonseca and DJ Theresa to raise the spirits in an ungodly pagan ritual certain to shake the foundations of every religious zealot.  November 1, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_halloween/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_halloween/ No one does Halloween better than Alegria. With Ric Sena’s jaw-dropping décor, purpose-built in Brazil and installed in New York, Alegria Halloween has, in years past, evoked chilling thrillers and slasher flicks, as well as a Little Shop of Horrors’ garden of surreal extraterrestrial eyes. One year, a colony of Alegria bats hovered and swooped and flashed red — and every year, the very hot men of Alegria have turned it out in wildly imaginative flights of fancy. The result of all this voodoo has made Alegria Halloween one of the most popular on the Alegria annual calendar. Be prepared to be blown away by the music and the theme — and a coven of vampiric boys waiting to suck you into their netherworld. November 1, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/halloween_new_orleans/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/halloween_new_orleans/ With the tagline “Everyone wants to be famous: Your turn is coming,” Halloween 27 in New Orleans makes it clear that this is not an idle promise. Come prepared to be stalked by paparazzi — then deal with the consequences. This is the official New Orleans Halloween weekend, benefiting Project Lazarus, the local AIDS organization. Former locals Alyson Calagna and Joe Gauthreaux return to their previous haunts to spook you with magic music. It’s a certainty that this four-day weekend will rouse every dead celebrity while rattling the skeletons in every famous closet. With a gala and silent auction at the New Orleans Museum of Art, a Saturday night costume parade, and Steamboat Natchez, the Sunday brunch and riverboat cruise, Halloween 27 New Orleans will make you famous — or at least infamous.  October 28, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/atlantis_la_to_mexico/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/atlantis_la_to_mexico/ As nearly every floating Circuit boy knows by now, there are two annual Atlantis cruises not to be missed — and this is one of them. Featuring a five-story theater, an ice-skating rink, and a surfeit of spectacular features, the 3,200-passenger Mariner of the Seas is both a Love Boat and Noah’s Ark, filled with (at least!) two of every type of hot man imaginable. With ports of call at Cabo San Lucas, Mazatlan, and Puerto Vallarta, the Atlantis “LA to Mexico” cruise also includes two days at sea to help you recover from those all-night parties for which this cruise has become so justly celebrated.  October 17, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/black_and_blue_festival/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/black_and_blue_festival/ Way back in 1991, a group of friends got together to throw a party to help combat the toll of AIDS; 20 years on, Black & Blue (founded by Bad Boys Club Montreal/BBCM Fondation) has grown into arguably the most definitive Circuit event of the calendar year. The recipient of numerous awards and prizes for its exemplary production values, technical innovation, and artistic direction, Black & Blue has become the benchmark against which other cultural festivals and dance events around the planet are measured. Each year, nearly 70,000 party people convene in Montreal for the Black & Blue Festival with its nearly weeklong spate of all-night dance parties. This year’s 20th anniversary edition of North America’s mega dance event returns to the Palais des congres — the city’s convention hall — where House and trance rooms will fulfill the musical fantasies of well over 10,000 celebrants. With world-renowned DJ/producer Mark Anthony returning for his 15th Main Event, this is one can’t-miss birthday party. Come celebrate two decades of musical brilliance on 10/10/10. The planets converge.  October 6, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/sleaze_ball/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/sleaze_ball/ The biggest costume ball in this gay Down Under metropolis, Sleaze Ball is also the main fundraising event for the Sydney Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade and Festival. This year, Sleaze Ball takes place near the end of Australia’s winter (that’s right — upside down, seasons and all) and the Oz boys and girls are ready to shake off the cold and welcome in spring. This is the costume ball to end all costume balls, where nearly everyone adheres to the annual theme, resulting in one of the more surreal and sexy gatherings of humanity. No one on the planet plays harder than the Aussies — and who could resist welcoming spring to Oz? October 2, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/gay_days_anaheim/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/gay_days_anaheim/ The first Western version of Gay Days in 1998 attracted 2,500 people, before swelling to more than 30,000 red-shirted revelers who gather in Anaheim for a weekend-long bash modeled on Orlando’s huge GayDays®. This year, the Saturday night event, Kingdom, is presented by Las Vegas at the House of Blues with DJ Kimberly S. Expect Las Vegas surprises as well as sizzling hot go-go boys and a visit from divas of the Kingdom. Then, on Sunday, head to the Annabella, right across from Disneyland, for Plunge, the pool party. Maybe you’ll even see Mickey and Donald high atop the Matterhorn, liplocked in their first gay kiss. October 1, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/magnitude/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/magnitude/ The official dance event of Folsom Street Fair is aptly named. Magnitude is the most important West Coast leather dance event of the year. Here, chaps, harnesses, and boots rule in a forest of latex, rubber, and uniforms. Leave your panties at home — as well as your cameras and cell phones, because what happens at Magnitude stays at Magnitude. You don’t want these photos on Facebook, particularly that one of you in the bowels of the Dungeon. This year, DJ/producer Manny Lehman takes control, pounding you deep into the night before Aftershock with DJ Abel. You’ll be pulverized by Sunday afternoon — just in time for Folsom Street Fair.  September 26, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/folsom_street_fair/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/folsom_street_fair/ Every year, on the last Sunday in September, nearly half a million leather and fetish devotees blanket 13 city blocks of San Francisco in the largest leather/fetish event in the world. One of the most well-loved events in a city that loves the surreal, Folsom Street Fair (now celebrating 27 years of bringing the most outrageous behavior to the streets of San Francisco) offers everything racy and raunchy on two stages with nearly 20 live acts, alongside huge dance areas, as well as Venus’ Playground, for women. Saturday night’s Magnitude Party attracts more than 2,500 leather daddies, masters, and slaves to partake in an orgiastic ritual that continues right through to the Fair on Sunday — and then, right after the Fair, there’s Real Bad, the all-volunteer, non-profit, and always sold-out party that donates 100% of all proceeds to grassroots organizations (over $1 million thus far). This year’s Real Bad XXII stars Atlanta-based DJ Sean Mac — chosen from a pool of nearly 20 applicants. Unleash your darkest fantasies and revel in the sexual freedom that Folsom Street Fair celebrates.  September 25, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/out_on_the_mountain/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/out_on_the_mountain/ In case you’ve forgotten, the Viper at LA’s Magic Mountain still holds the roller-coaster record for the world’s highest 360-degree loop at fourteen stories.  Take a breath —and get ready for the third annual OUT on the Mountain, the one-of-a-kind, LGBT private party event that rocked Magic Mountain last year with over 5,000 attendees.  From 6 p.m. through 1 a.m., on the 24th of September, more than 6,000 party boys and thrill addicts will pack Magic Mountain for the West Coast’s colossal amusement park sensation.  Produced by DJ Ray Rhodes, the man behind the magic at TigerHeat and Gay Days Anaheim, in conjunction with Magic Mountain, OUT on the Mountain is donating a portion of the night’s proceeds to the LA Gay and Lesbian Center, the Center Long Beach, and the Pacific Pride Foundation.  That’s right: scream for a good cause as your heart flies into your throat on Batman the Ride, Superman the Escape, Terminator Salvation the Ride, the Riddler’s Revenge, and X2 (which just happens to be the world’s first fifth dimension roller-coaster).  VIP tix include a flash pass (no lines — more heartstopping thrills and chills), VIP lounge, Bugs Bunny bucks, and premium parking.  OUT on the Mountain: this is the party you always wished for when you were stuck at the fair with Mom and Dad.  Enter the fifth dimension at OUT on the Mountain—and scream for joy.  September 25, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/dallas_pride/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/dallas_pride/ Pride ain’t over until the cows come home or Dallas says so. The 27th annual Alan Ross Texas Freedom Parade takes over Dallas with nearly 2,000 participants and tens of thousands of cheering spectators. This year’s theme is “One Heart, One World, One Pride” and as anyone who’s ever been to Dallas’ Purple Party can tell you, these Dallas cowboys know how to have more fun than even playing championship football. After the parade, be sure to hit Pride Festival at Lee Park — and then take the free shuttle to the Brick for Spectrum, the big Tea Dance, starring DJ/Producer Tony Moran. This year’s beneficiaries include Youth First Texas and AIDS Services of Dallas, so you’ll be doing good while being bad.  September 18, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/labor_day_los_angeles/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/labor_day_los_angeles/ For those inquiring minds who yearned to know how Jeffrey Sanker was going to follow the recent success of White Party Palm Springs, here’s the answer: LA’s biggest Labor Day Party at Arena nightclub on the Sunday night of Labor Day weekend.  And if, for some inexplicable reason, you happened to miss White Party Palm Springs this year, then here’s your opportunity to avail yourself of a sort of WPPS redux—because Sanker has managed to secure the world-renowned and wildly-popular DJs Freemasons to play this massive event.  Certainly by now, you’ve heard about how Freemasons tore the roof off the White Party this past spring; we’re talking hands-in-the-air and joyful exultation, hosanna-to-the-highest. This time you don’t have to drive into the desert; instead, head to Santa Monica Boulevard on Sunday night of Labor Day weekend and get ready for DJ Joe Gauthreaux and DJs Freemasons to take you higher than the Ferris wheel. September 6, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_10_anniversary/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_10_anniversary/ Alegria producer Ric Sena has admitted that Labor Day is one of his favorite holidays, and this year, more than ever, Sena has labored to make you jump for joy. This is Alegria’s 10th anniversary, and the annual fall season opener bacchanal celebrates a decade presenting what may well be the world’s most successful regularly scheduled Circuit parties. A brand-new locale — the modern, spacious (and very well air-conditioned!) Nokia Theater in Times Square — provides Alegria with the perfect venue for a spectacular all-night, commemorative occasion certain to bring the boys from all over the world. Hector Fonseca , making his Alegria debut, joins long-time favorites Rosabel (Abel and Ralphi Rosario) in a New York-themed party that promises to burn with Gotham’s super-charged energy and summer heat. Alegria: Experience the legend.  September 6, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/matinee_new_york/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/matinee_new_york/ The biggest party in the world, returns to the biggest city in the world! For years, Matinée Group has been producing some of Europe’s most acclaimed parties: Space @ Ibiza, Circuit Festival in Barcelona, the biggest gay and lesbian event in Europe, as well as the Matinée Summer Festival and the Matinée Winter Festival, events that have become noted for a surfeit of decadent excess and phenomenal professionalism. Watch Highlights from the Matinée NYC Debut on Governor’s Island :: Music by Matinee All-Star DJ J.Louis & DJ Theresa +Special Surprise Performance Getting to Governors Island on a New York Water Taxi is just a quick, 4-minute boat ride, and the boats are only a few steps from nearby subway and bus stops. We have added a huge number of boats to service the Island. Ferries leave every ten minutes from Pier 11 in Lower Manhattan at the corner of South Street & Wall Street (approximately 4 blocks south of the South Street Seaport). The nearest subway stops: - 2,3,4,5 – Wall Street Station - J,M,Z to Broad Street Station VIEW IN GOOGLE MAPS :: Limited $44 (plus $5 roundtrip boat ticket) and $125 VIP (includes open bar all night long) September 5, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/hard_labor/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/hard_labor/ Masterbeat presents the return of the hottest, hardest & sexiest event of the year: Hard Labor. Hard Labor 2009 will feature special entertainment, the hottest dancers, and DJ’s Brett Henrichsen (Los Angeles) and superstar DJ Ana Paula (Brazil) spinning together for the first time in the USA. They have shared the booth many times at The Week in Brazil, and now the duo brings that energy to the states. The event will be held at one of Los Angeles’s legendary venues: The Mayan Theater. September 5, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/splashdays/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/splashdays/ This popular summer festival in the most liberal city in Texas turns Austin into a deliriously surreal fantasy of hipster boys and girls, all partying for three days and nights. This year’s Splash Days brings DJs Brett Henrichsen and Roland Belmares (as well as local faves Seth Cooper and Benson Wilder) to a city that has long understood how to have fun. With an outdoor party at Hippie Hollow on Lake Travis, including a party barge, Splash Days evokes an idyllic summer camp — where every other camper happens to be a smiling, hot man. Yippie-yi-yo!  September 4, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/labor_day_fire_island_pines/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/labor_day_fire_island_pines/ As the new tagline succinctly puts it, “Summer Perfected” — and few people would argue that Fire Island and summer go together as perfectly as sand and the ocean. This year, the idyllic gay playground is more chic and more fun than ever before, thanks to the recently refurbished Pavilion, the legendary Pines nightclub, as well as a freshened-up Blue Whale, home to the legendary outdoor Low Tea. There’s also the Fire Island Pines Underwear Party and the new Friday nights BierGarten around the Pool Deck — and a swarm of hot-hot-hot boys wandering the beach and loitering along the walks in little more than dental-floss swimwear. Few places send off summer with as much fanfare as Fire Island: Watch the sun set on another summer and make plans to return in 2011. September 4, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/southern_decadence/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/southern_decadence/ One of the largest celebrations in New Orleans (which is saying something in a town that lives to party), Southern Decadence brings more than 100,000 LGBT people to town for what has become known as the Gay Mardi Gras. Now in its 39th year, the six-day party starts on Wednesday and doesn’t ever really stop — at least not until the following Tuesday. On Sunday afternoon, park yourself on the corner of Bourbon and St. Ann and be prepared for one of the more outrageous parades you’ll ever witness. Coincidentally (or not), that intersection is also home to the city’s largest nightclub, the Bourbon Pub, and dance club Parade. In recognition of Southern Decadence’s economic import, the city even issues an Official Proclamation welcoming the LGBT community. For 2010, the Diva of Decadence, Chi Chi LaRue, returns, ably assisted by DJs Brett Henrichsen, Lydia Prim, and a flock of others. Don’t miss Thursday night’s Big Dick contest, hosted by San Francisco’s Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. Nuns, nonsense and nuts — that’s the Big Easy for you. September 2, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/out_weekend/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/out_weekend/ Chris Harris brings back a fourth year of action-packed Labor Day weekend events to Beantown. The Northeast heats up in the fall, and the college boys are just settling into their new digs, so don’t miss this major weekend. September 1, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/atlantis_mediterranean_cruise/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/atlantis_mediterranean_cruise/ It’s the end of summer and you’re feeling a little blue — until, that is, you climb aboard the spectacular new Celebrity Equinox for a nine-day cruise through five countries, including an overnight in Tel Aviv. The Atlantis Mediterranean cruise sails from Athens to Barcelona, with stops in Rome and Marseilles, Taormina and Capri, while accompanied by a shipload of the world’s most gorgeous men on one of the more phenomenal ships cruising the seas. From one summer love to another: it doesn’t get better when you cruise with Atlantis Events.    August 24, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/leather_ball_in_the_park/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/leather_ball_in_the_park/ Before the annual Mr. Leatherman Toronto Competition whips into town in November, there’s Leather Ball…In the Park, which takes place at Toronto’s Allen Gardens in hot, steamy August. Ever since 1995, MLTC Inc. has been the proud producer of Canada’s largest leather events, and Leather Ball brings out some of the more glorious members of the leather life, with a seriously fierce after-party later that night. Whether you’re a bad boy or a daddy, don your chaps and leather apparel. Just don’t forget to say “Sir.” August 15, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/fire_island_black_out/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/fire_island_black_out/ Every summer during the second weekend in August, the world-famous gay beach resort town becomes even more colorful, thanks to this premier beach event for the LGBT men of color (and the men who love them). Established in 2003, Fire Island Black Out has grown into a multicultural event, incorporating dance parties, pool parties, fashion shows, barbeques, sports, and of course, a tasty assortment of dark, milk, and white chocolate (in their own words, and who’s going to argue?). Best of all, all this celebrating raises funds for non-profits serving homeless gay youth, people with AIDS, and the Fire Island National Seashore. Take the ferry to Cherry Grove, and get some good loving while doing good. This is one blackout you won’t want to end.  August 14, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/ascension/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/ascension/ In only four years, Ascension Beach Party Weekend has become a major player on the Circuit calendar, and a must-attend event for more than 4,000 Circuit boys from all over the globe. Launched in 2006 as a fundraiser, Ascension has grown into a three-day, twelve-event weekend whose proceeds benefit both the Fund in the Sun Foundation and the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. Events include the Float Pool Party, the VIP Launch Party —  and the signature event that takes place on Sunday afternoon on one of the most fabled sandbars in the world. With a custom-built dance floor and an immense white pyramid, as well as its trademark reflecting, wading pool, Ascension a master class on beach chic and Fire Island style. Winner of Edge Publications’ Best Day Party in 2009, Ascension is one more reason why the Pines remains a gay paradise.  August 13, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/pavillion_weekend/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/pavillion_weekend/ The ultimate weekend nears in the Pines. This Friday night at the Pavilion: A mega kick-off party, with Tracy Young spinning downstairs and James Andersen playing the Underwear Party upstairs. Saturday afternoon Hector Fonseca plays a wild dance party at the hotel pool deck, with go-go boys dancing on floating pedestals. Saturday night at Pavilion: Moto Blanco. Sunday, Pavilion opens at 6pm after the beach party; then at midnight: Paulo! August 13, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/rapido_pride_party/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/rapido_pride_party/ Perhaps more than any other factor, Rapido has reignited Amsterdam nightlife and reestablished Amsterdam as the gay capital of Europe. With three dance floors and two balconies, what was once Paradiso is now the scene of outrageously creative parties marked by cutting-edge production values. This year’s Pride Party welcomes back DJ/producer Abel, along with Giangi Cappai, for a dance marathon of epic proportions. The 2009 winner of EDGE Publications’ “Best Recurring International Party,” Rapido Pride Party is a gay dance paradise, showcasing Europe’s sexiest crowd. August 8, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/reflex_6th_anniversary/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/reflex_6th_anniversary/ Evenstar-Mindfold and Chanelta reunite for the summer’s grand slam. DJ Paulo spins at Atlas from 9 p.m. until 3 a.m., while Twisted Dee twists the turntables at Reflex for an after-party from 2:30 a.m. until 7:30 a.m. Feast on Adam Killan and Prada B’s go-go godliness; Jeremy Beard and Mike Bryant’s Voyeur Video, Markey Make-Up’s “hot boi body painting,” and masseurs in the back rooms all night long. All the best from each chapter of the Reflex journey! August 7, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/amsterdam_pride/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/amsterdam_pride/ While most Pride celebrations utilize trucks for their parades, Amsterdam’s Canal Parade uses boats: more than 75 spectacularly decorated boats floating along the Amstel River. Half a million spectators cheer as the boats, loaded with gorgeous boys (and girls), sail through the canals, not to mention all the parties. Amsterdam is one of the world’s most celebratory cities. Apart from the ongoing street parties and the all-night bacchanals at Amsterdam’s legendary club Rapido, there’s also the Pride Saturday party this year produced by powerhouse SuperMartXe. It’s no wonder that Gay Pride Amsterdam is on the calendars of every fun-loving Circuit boy.  August 6, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/pines_party/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/pines_party/ Ever since 1999, when an Arabian tent city arose along the shores of the Atlantic Ocean, the Pines Party (2009 winner of “Best Beach Party” by EDGE Publications) has picked up where the legendary GMHC Morning Party left off — and that means an all-night, eight-hour oceanside extravaganza. Proceeds are divided equally between the Fire Island Pines Property Owners’ Association (FIPPOA) and the Stonewall Community Foundation — and each year’s theme generates a massive outpouring of imagination and creativity to create a summer oasis unlike any ever seen before. Like Brigadoon, the enchanted city that appears for one night — that’s the Pines Party — and every bit as magical. This year, the U.K.’s Molto Blanco spins, with a warm-up by local fave Corey Craig. August 1, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/circuit_festival/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/circuit_festival/ Winner of EDGE Publications’ “Best International Party Weekend” for two years in a row, Circuit Festival has quickly risen to the top of the worldwide festival heap as a destination for all Circuit cognoscenti. With more than a week’s worth of beach parties, pool parties, dance parties, and after-hours parties, Circuit Festival attracts over 30,000 people from all over the globe. From the signature Olympic Stadium event to the popular Water Park Party, as well as a Beach Day in fabulous Sitges, Circuit Festival has become the Circuit event. Just mix in Barcelona’s myriad charms and the fabled beauty of the Iberian people, shake and stir. Check online for the noiZe guide to Barcelona from our last issue’s City Spotlight. July 31, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/twisted_weekend/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/twisted_weekend/ The Bad Boys Club of Montreal gets Twisted with a full weekend of top-notch events. You’re queer, you’re here, get used to it! Since 1994, Montreal has gotten used to this “major party” portion of the local Gay Pride celebration. One of BBCM’s biggest crowd pleasers, the weekend includes the Saturday all-night multi-DJ dance, the Saturday tea dance outdoors, and another all-nighter on Sunday, the Twist Encore. The warm weather always gets those hot French Canadian boys stirred up so that they’re even more eager to show their tourist friends a good time. July 30, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/atlantis_amsterdam_gay_pride_cruise/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/atlantis_amsterdam_gay_pride_cruise/ For the first time, Atlantis has chartered Holland America’s grand Eurodam for their first cruise into Amsterdam. Sail into Europe’s most gay-friendly city after an eight-day cruise through the Baltic, with stops in Copenhagen, Tailinn, Helsinki, St. Petersburg and Stockholm. Imagine all that stunning Scandinavian Nordic scenery, waiting to welcome you at every port o’call. Atlantis knows how to do it right. The combination of Atlantis, Holland America — and you — is unbeatable. Book yourself into a Baltic romance this summer! July 29, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/divers_cite/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/divers_cite/ Pride in Montreal got so big that Divers/Cite became a separate LGBT cultural festival, which is followed two weeks later (August 12-15, 2010) by Celebrations de la Fierte, Montreal’s Pride celebration. For this year, Divers/Cite’s theme is All Together Different, which is certainly one definition of the wildly outrageous shenanigans that occur over the course of six-night long festival. Think Winter Music Conference mixed with a soupcon of Burning Man, and a healthy spoonful of Wigstock, as well as a whole lot of Pride, and you have a good idea why Divers/Cite attracts people from all over the world for events such as Mascara (a/k/a “la nuit des Drags”), a visual spectacle of performance, glitter, sequins and feathers. There’s also la Grande Danse, a massive eleven-hour, multi-media, block party celebrating all musical forms related to house. With well-known deejays and performers such as Mark Anthony, Peter Rauhofer, Yinon Yahel, Samantha Fox, Martha Wash, and Ana Paula, Divers/Cite proudly celebrates the myriad colors of urban diversity. The 2009 winner of EDGE Publications “Best International Cultural Festival,” Montreal’s Divers/Cite paints the town pink. July 28, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/joining_hearts/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/joining_hearts/ For Joining Hearts 23rd anniversary, DJ/producer Roland Belmares helps the good men of Atlanta make good on their commitment to help fight HIV/AIDS. During the past twenty-three years, Joining Hearts has donated over $1 million to local AIDS service organizations. That’s partying with a purpose — and a good reminder of how the Circuit community takes care of its own. This year, party at the Piedmont Park Pool in Atlanta with a bunch of altruistic boys who know how to have fun. July 25, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/san_diego_pride_parties/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/san_diego_pride_parties/ Pride in the U.S. isn’t over until San Diego says so, which means not until more than 200,000 spectators and celebutantes whoop it up at the two-day San Diego Pride Parade and Festival. This year’s theme, “One World. One Heart. One Pride”, promises even more flamboyance and sheer fabulousness, with a mile-and-a-half-long parade — the fifth-largest in the U.S.— winding through the streets of Hillcrest. Still not enough? Bill Hardt, producer of the original pride parties, works his magic with a full platter of festivities, from the Pride Ball on Friday night to the world-famous Zoo Party held at the San Diego Zoo — where all the gay animals come out to play once a year. Are Animals Gay? asked a recent New York Times Magazine article. You bet they are — during San Diego Pride.  July 17, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/sand_blast_road_trip_weekend/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/sand_blast_road_trip_weekend/ The annual summer Road Trip Weekend in Asbury Park has become a veritable festival of dance parties, pool parties, beach parties, fashion shows, theater, art, and dining, attracting thousand of LGBT people from around the Greater New York Area and beyond. Kick off the weekend with the Lost at Sea party at the Grand Arcade of Convention Hall, complete with a swimwear fashion show, cocktails, fireworks, and the beats of some of NYC’s best DJs. Then, for Sand Blast, join DJ Randy Bettis as he turns it out for this spectacular Saturday beach party happening right on the sands of the Atlantic Ocean. Hot boys and hot fun in the sun make this the real Jersey Shore. July 15, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/david_flowers_summer_camp/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/david_flowers_summer_camp/ Every year for the Fourth of July week, thousands of men from all over the globe converge on idyllic Provincetown for the all-gay version of summer camp. For twelve years, David Flower’s Summer Camp has mesmerized party boys with a magical Sunset Cruise, this year aboard the four-story high Provincetown II, Boston’s biggest passenger cruise ship with a capacity of 1,000 hot men, all of them dancing to the sounds of DJ David Knapp.  For the Pier Dance, DJ Manny Lehman returns, after playing the first Pier Dance ten years ago. If that’s not enough, there’s also as the staggering natural beauty of one of the country’s most beautiful federally protected seashores. Rent a bike, traverse the dunes, watch the sun set, dance all night — and fall in love all over again, with Provincetown and your sweetheart. Or a new sweetheart — there are plenty to choose from at this annual summer pilgrimage.  July 4, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/reflections_independance/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/reflections_independance/ The place to be over the holiday weekend on Fire Island is the 16th annual IndepenDANCE. Featuring the sounds of DJ Tracy Young and the lighting of the master Guy Smith, this popular fundraiser mixes a good cause with some of the sexiest dancing on the bay. Happy IndepenDANCE Day! July 4, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/invasion/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/invasion/ Back in the day, way back in 1976, according to gay legend, a man in drag was denied service in the Pines — which led to an invasion of drag queens from Cherry Grove that has now become a beloved Fourth of July tradition, whereby a veritable flotilla of extravagantly costumed Cherry Grove characters arrives to great applause and fanfare from the residents of the Pines and environs. Think Fellini, Pasolini, John Waters, and Tim Burton, all mixed with the Coney Island Mermaid Parade. July 4, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/independence/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/independence/ Provincetown’s premier entertainment complex, the Crown & Anchor has been serving up the parties for years — and no one does it better during Fourth of July Week. With eight different deejays on eight different days and nights, the Crown keeps the boys pounding the floorboards all week long. And with a full leather bar, as well as a cabaret and video bar, and also a hotel, this ain’t just a nightclub; this is a whole vacation. Book yourself into the Crown & Anchor for a Fourth of July weeklong bacchanal of pleasure. July 1, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/pride_luau_g/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/pride_luau_g/ Each year “New York’s Best Gay Bar”, as voted by HX readers, transforms into a tropical oasis. Hot duo Mark and Franco pull out the stops — just steps from the parade. The home of the frozen cosmo is the coolest place in town. June 27, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/pier_dance/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/pier_dance/ With nearly 10,000 proud and loud dancing boys from all over the planet crammed onto one pier jutting out over the Hudson River, the Dance on the Pier on Pride Sunday in New York City is one of the more phenomenal events in the life of a gay person.  And if it’s not enough to witness world-class musical stars such as Jennifer Hudson, Janet Jackson, Jennifer Lopez, or Whitney Houston entertaining the pulchritudinous mass, there’s also a flotilla of rainbow-flagged sailboats, and fireboats shooting rainbow water sprays, and a massive explosion of fireworks—all while the Empire State Building glows lavender through the night.  All proceeds from the Dance on the Pier benefit NYC’s LGBT Pride Week, which is one more reason to turn it out for Pride in New York City. June 27, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_new_york_city_pride/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_new_york_city_pride/ Voted “Best National Party” in 2009 by EDGE Publications, Alegria Pride is the party that defines New York Pride, and one of the primary reasons that more than half a million people come to New York on the last Sunday in June. Every year, Alegria producer Ric Sena pulls out all the stops for a massive eighteen-hour Pride celebration that keeps the boys on the dance floor well into Monday afternoon. One year it was the landing of the Mothership; another year it was the Greatest Pride on Earth; and another it was Pirates of the Alegria. Last year’s award-winning party was Alegria Wonderland — a party that people still talk about. Ask anyone lucky enough to have been there: these are parties not to be missed. Buy early, because Alegria Pride always sells out. This year Alegria is at the amazing NOKIA Theatre - 1515 Broadway June 27, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/san_francisco_pride/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/san_francisco_pride/ The theme of the 2010 San Francisco Pride celebration is “40 and Fabulous.” This is one of the largest gatherings of LGBT people in the country. What better way to celebrate pride than in the town that gave us Harvey Milk, Armisted Maupin, and Silvester? The Disco, dedicated to DJ Cary Stringfellow, returns with a night of twisted fun. June 26, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/desire_-_a_masquerade/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/desire_-_a_masquerade/ WHAT: A Pride masquerade ball, produced by NYC’s legendary special event creator/producer, Lee Chappell, with his wunderkind wiz Chris Ryan, celebrating New York’s own bizarre brand of baroque glam. WHY YOU SHOULD BE THERE: Because Capitale (designed by legendary architect Stanford White) with its forest of Corinthian columns is probably the single most splendid party space in Manhattan (65-foot ceilings, mosaic marble floors, Venetian glass), and because Chappell and Ryan promise a mind-boggling display of rope artists, jugglers, and visual projections by Wet Circuit, with a $500 cash prize for Best Costume, and because DJs Fonseca and Calagna are two of the hottest musicmakers throwing down righteous beats and melody, and most of all, because it’s Friday of NYC Pride weekend: get your Pride on with Desire! June 26, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/boy-girl_homo_evolution_show/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/boy-girl_homo_evolution_show/ Known as America’s first male-to-female transgender rapper, Foxxjazell joins the 2010 San Francisco Pride Week Official Events lineup to bring fans the new “Boy, Girl: Homo-Evolution Concert.” Along with a full set of fresh hits from Foxxjazell’s recently released album “Boy, Girl, Whateva,” the concert will also feature fiery GLBT rap, pop and hip hop artists like Drew Mason, Benni E., Sgt. Sass and special guest Mack Mistress. Hosted by drag illusionist and stage diva Miss Barbie Q, the evening’s entertainment will showcase the sounds of DJ Nawty Boy and hold a number of beat-slamming surprises for everyone. June 23, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/new_york_city_pride/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/new_york_city_pride/ Every year, on the last Sunday in June, the New York City Pride March kicks off at noon on Fifth Avenue. Over a million spectators cheer as the LGBT community marches down the lavender line along the center of Fifth Avenue. The parade route heads right through the heart of Manhattan, to the site of the Stonewall Inn, the birthplace of modern gay rights movement, and then over to the Hudson River for Dance on the Pier. Join 10,000 celebratory boys and girls as they dance overlooking the Hudson River. Watch the Empire State Building glow lavender as fireworks burst in the sky. That’s Pride in New York — and it goes on all week, commencing with the Rally in beautiful Bryant Park on the Sunday before the Pride March, and the Garden Party for the LGBT Community Center on Monday night, and a myriad other celebratory events all during the month of June. NYC Pride is bustin’ out all over — celebrate Pride in the city where it all began on a hot June night in 1969. June 19, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/wonderland/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/wonderland/ This is the event that put Los Angeles back on the map. Tom Whitman’s inaugural Wonderland in 2005 in the historic backlot of Paramount Studios quickly became the standard for all West Coast parties. In the ensuing years, Wonderland has proven that the combination of Paramount Studios, carnival rides, stiltwalkers, go-go boys, fireworks, and more than 2,500 guys dancing beneath the stars add up to the most happening party in the City of Angels. Wonderland, the 2009 winner of EDGE Publications “Best Event Production” is the kind of party for which Hollywood was invented. June 12, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/la_gay_pride/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/la_gay_pride/ Formed in 1970, Christopher Street West produced the first Lesbian and Gay Parade in Los Angeles to commemorate the Stonewall Rebellion on New York’s Christopher Street. Now, forty years later, more than half a million people gather in West Hollywood for the annual Greater Los Angeles LGBT Pride Celebration hosted by the independent City of West Hollywood. Translation: get ready to party with some of the most fabulous people on the planet at some of the most celebrated events on the Circuit, as the dance pavillions rock with top DJ talent. Happy Fortieth, LA Pride! You’re ready for your close-up!  This year L.A. Pride welcomes Sharon & Kelly Osbourne, as the 2010 LA PRIDE Parade Grand Marshals! June 11, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/boston_pride/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/boston_pride/ It’s the 40th anniversary of Pride in Boston — what better excuse to take in the glories of Boston in early June? Pride is the one week when Boston’s hotter than Rio! Over one million people watched the Pride Parade in 2009; over 100,000 attended the Festival, including frat boys and hot students, ready to blow off steam after final exams. Chris Harris, Boston’s top promoter, teams up with local Pride organizers to throw a series of nonstop parties that last all week long. Toss your mortarboard into the air; it’s the commencement — of summer! June 10, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/gay_daze_orlando_2010/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/gay_daze_orlando_2010/ You just can’t keep a good Circuit weekend down: out of the ashes, one of the Circuit’s most beloved events rises again. The night events for the first weekend of June in Orlando have been re-christened Wonderland/Orlando 2010, heralding the return of über-party promoter and impresario Mark Baker, as well as local publisher Watermark Media, the creators of the original Beach Ball. With a new Walt Disney World host hotel fresh from a $35 million renovation, and with new parties such as Grind on Thursday night, Let’s Go Play at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon, Stratosphere on Saturday, and DJ Abel at Hard Rock Live for Fasscination on Sunday night, Wonderland/Orlando 2010 promises a return to its glory days. As if that weren’t enough debauchery and fun, there’s also the wildly popular, after-hours, Late Night@Arabian Nights on Saturday and Sunday nights, starring DJs Paulo, Alyson Calagna, Theresa, and Hector Fonseca. Welcome back, welcome home! Happy Gay Days are here again! June 5, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/gaydays_pool_parties/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/gaydays_pool_parties/ Twenty years ago, a small gathering of a group of friends started a yearly tradition of meeting in front of Cinderella’s Castle at Walt Disney World.  That first Saturday in June has exploded into one of the biggest gay vacation destinations in the world attracting world class entertainment and around the clock entertainment.  Now, GayInternetRadioLive.com and GayDays.com invite you to the 2010 Gay Days celebration at the newly remodeled ,28 acre, Double Tree Resort for the most incredible Gay Days ever!

Traditionally dressed in red for visibility, the gays blanket the park with color, making Disney World even more gay than usual. The original one-day celebration has blossomed and grown (and weathered the storms of criticism from right-wing zealots) to become a weeklong, citywide series of festival events attracting more than 135,000 celebrants from around the globe. June 1, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_memorial_day_NYC/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_memorial_day_NYC/ Memorial Day weekend marks the start of summer in the Big City — and before everything gets gritty, things are still pretty.

Over 400 leathermen gathered in Chicago in 1979 for the first International Mr. Leather contest. Today, the event has grown to be an annual tradition for thousands in the leather community, drawing contestants and attendees from around the globe. Once an event for hardcore leathermen, IML has expanded in recent years to include a more diverse crowd - from the experienced to the curious.

The notorious IML Victory Celebration (known as the Black and Blue Ball) is the highlight.

May 2, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/queens_day_festival/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/queens_day_festival/ It’s not what you think. Koninginnedag (aka Queen’s Day) is Holland’s most popular national holiday. Amsterdam is quite famously a party town even on the quietest of off-weekends, so imagine what it’s like when the entire country dons orange (as in House of Orange) and observes the birthday of the Netherlands’ beloved Queen Mum who ruled from 1948 to 1980. Not surprisingly, a holiday fit for a Queen has been enthusiastically embraced by the gay community in much the same way the welcoming country has embraced us. It’s just one big ol’ hugfest. Seriously though, Amsterdam is known for tolerance and acceptance and the gay community is so socially integrated here that it’s difficult to distinguish a gay/lesbian “style” or “scene” (but we keep tryin’). An impressive array of gay parties and events accompanies the general mayhem in the streets. After Queensday, the party still goes on through Sunday. Special performance by FLAVA direct from Hollywood, CA.

Float from destination to destination on one of the best cruise ships the world has to offer, while the Atlantis crew fills you days and nights with their array of perfectly planned parties and activities. April 30, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/purple_party/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/purple_party/ Purple Party has a great reputation as a festival of dance, spectacle, community, and togetherness. If you’ve ever run into the Dallas party posse, you know that these boys and girls are Fabulous with a capital F. Any event that they are sponsoring is well worth attending. And it’s always more fun to get crazy with a good conscience: the beneficiary will be AIDS Services of Dallas. That’s how they do it in the Lone Star State—friendly like.  This just in….Michelle Williams of Destiny’s Child PERFORMING LIVE!

Clubs throughout SoBe and Miami pull out the stops to impress in-the-know visitors by presenting every kind of electronic music imaginable with marquee names spinning. Hundreds of cutting-edge, internationally renowned DJs will be among the crowds, and keep an eye peeled for the offbeat venues where up-and-comers try to woo a label deal. March 23, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_xtreme_10/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/alegria_xtreme_10/ Black Party weekend in NYC is never over until Alegria Xtreme says so—and that means only when DJ Abel determines that he’s ready to release you—and never before Monday afternoon.  Every year for Alegria Xtreme, Ric Sena creates a superior production that complements and heightens the dark, sexual energy of the weekend with a party that has become the standard for hot male rites—and certainly the most incendiary on the Alegria calendar.  March 21, 2010 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/saint_at_large_black_party_rites_xxx/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/saint_at_large_black_party_rites_xxx/ This is it. The Big Kahuna. The Mother Ship. The Black Party. You’ve heard the rumors. The legends. The one about the adult castration onstage. The “accident” on the dance floor. The FTM sex show. The hot-wax fisting scene. This isn’t one of the most intense experiences you’ll ever have on a dance floor. It’s the most intense experience you’ll ever have in your entire life. Held at the venerable Roseland Ballroom—the biggest dance floor in all of Gotham—you’ll be dazzled, astounded and turned on by the sight of several thousand of the hottest men you never thought existed celebrating the many moods of leather in all its guises, from leather pants to jocks to … socks and boots. Once you go upstairs and adjust your eyes to the transfixing light show emanating from the domed dance floor, you’ll feast on the thousands of fellow revelers, some doing things you won’t be telling the folks back home, and some doing things you won’t be telling anyone back home. But most people are dancing—this is, above all and before everything, a dance party that traces itself back to 1979 and the old Saint, the most fabulous and famous gay dance club of all time. Held every year around the Vernal Equinox, this hearkens even further back to Druid rituals whereby men donned animal skins and danced all night to ensure a good planting season. Even if you’re not doing any farming, you may end up planting plenty of seed at a party that stretches from early evening well into the next afternoon.

Now the third-largest gay ski week in the country, it features giant après-ski events and spectacular nighttime parties. World-class DJs spin so be sure not to break a leg on the slopes. One highlight is the “Party @ 10,000 Feet,” where you ride a dark gondola up the mountain to the highest party above sea level on the continent. You’ll have to really work to catch up with this peak, overlooking the majestic Sierra Nevadas under a stunning starscape. New to the mountain is the new Westin Monache, which adds to the luxury accommodations. You haven’t lived until you’ve been in a hot tub surrounded by snow—and a few well-chosen new friends.

What began as an unplanned outing by hundreds of costumed party-goers along the Cedar Springs strip, the outing evolved into the annual event known today where patrons, spectators and participants dress up and mingle along the strip, socializing and showing off their elaborately designed costumes. “The Oak Lawn Halloween Street Party is one of the many hallmark outdoor events in Dallas each year,” said Phillip Jones, president and CEO of the Dallas Convention & Visitors Bureau. “It’s a fun event that many locals and travelers look forward to each year.” During the Oak Lawn Halloween Street Party, several booths line the sidewalk where vendors sell food and drinks to accompany the festivities. In addition, many of the GLBT bars that line the Cedar Springs strip feature costume contests and drink specials. The center catwalk, which extends down half a block, will be the limelight of the event where an official costume show will take place. Patrons will have the opportunity to strut their stuff and display their costumes as they walk down the strip. The Street Party begins around sundown between Oak Lawn Avenue and Throckmorton Street, and wraps up around 2 a.m. Traffic will be cordoned off through the evening, so that revelers can safely mingle and enjoy the festivities. For more information on this and the many other GLBT-friendly events in Dallas, please visit www.glbtdallas.com. About Dallas: Dallas is a destination that inspires big ideas.

Eighteen parties later, in cities including New York, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Berlin, and now London, HustlaBall is not only one of the raunchiest events on the dance circuit, it is also one of its hottest tickets. What was originally intended as a “sex cabaret” for erotic artists and exhibitionists has morphed over the years to become a mega-party, where adult content is presented in a large public space, for the amusement, shock and awe of international audiences. HustlaBall brings together (in addition to the usual circuit party suspects) top name musical talent and DJs, an outrageous cast of fetish acts and performers and a growing international parade of party people anxious to get in on the X-rated fun for which HustlaBall has become notorious.

April 12, 2008 http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/bunnies_on_the_bayou/ http://www.circuitpartyguide.com/index.php/event/bunnies_on_the_bayou/ The ever spectacular DJ Cary Stringfellow highlights this Houston event benefitting Bunnies on the Bayou Inc. The History: On a sunny Easter Sunday in 1979, a small party among friends gathered at an apartment complex on Clay Street. The word spread of the event, and the following year they set up a sound system outdoors and sent out invitations. By the mid-1980’s, AIDS was taking a terrible toll and the party hosts decided to help their friends by charging an “admission” - a bag of food. By the early 1990’s the party attendance had grown so large that the hosts decided to move to the new outdoor plaza at the Wortham Center downtown on Buffalo Bayou; Bunnies on the Bayou was born. Rather than food, the Bunnies began to raise money for local charities. Since that time, the event has grown to be Houston’s largest annual outdoor cocktail party. Thousands of Houstonians have celebrated Easter with their friends, made new friends, and donated almost $550,000 to area charities.
