Party: DIRTY BOOTS MUSIC VIDEO PREMIERE

Here’s what we know about the Dirty Boots music video premiere party at The Cock this week. 1. It’s at The Cock (duh, but that’s always fun). 2. They are premiering a music video/short film directed by filmmaker, and the first person to ever interview GAYLETTER and made us show our butts to the photographer, (for BUTT Magazine) Adam Baran. 3. The film features Boys in Jockstraps! Horny Biker Gangs, Underground sex clubs, TUMBLR porn, ABeardedBoy.com’s Dominic J. Fournier, The 3 BitsMargaret Singer and “iconic German porn star” Peter Berlin. If you’re a fan of any, or all of those things, then you must get your dirty boots to the party for some old school New York sleazy fun. Along with the aforementioned attractions they’re also promising: “go-go boys, cheap drinks, and scores of hot dirty men.” The film will premier at midnight, but I’d suggest you get there a little earlier than that. Those hot dirty men will go fast hunty!

FREE, 11:00PM, The Cock, 29 2nd Ave. New York, NY.

Party: Cherrybomb

I’m right in the middle of this Transcendental Meditation course which requires that I don’t drink. I also had food poisoning over the weekend from bad sushi, which meant I spent it on the couch and the toilet watching House Of Cards. All this is a round-about way of saying that by Friday I have a feeling I’ll be ready to P-A-R-R-R-R-T-T-T-Y-Y! And boy do I have a fun one to go to. Cherrybomb brought to you by CUNTMAFIA (pictured right) is happening again at The Flat in Brooklyn. It’s hosted by Franceleslia, Meaghan H., Misfit Marti, Quay Dash, Cakes da Killa, Smurfo Udirty and Matt Sebastian (the party is also a birthday celebration for Matt. Music is provided by a whole bunch of talented peeps including Haruka Salt, Chad Bubz, and Mista Selecta, plus a live performance by Kelow (who’s also a birthday girl). There’s a million other things I could say about this party, but I’ll leave you with the most important piece of information: between 9:30PM and 11:00PM all drinks are 2-for-1. Get there on time and get drinking, you (and by that I mean ‘me’) deserve this.

$5, 10:00PM, The Flat, 308 Hooper St Brooklyn, NY.

My Chiffon Is Wet After-Hours

The queer party releases a video set to Gaga's "Do What U Want"

Here’s a little something to brighten your work week woes: NYC underground weekly queer party My Chiffon Is Wet has put together a music video giving us all a look at what happens once MCW’s home, Eastern Bloc, closes its doors at 4:00AM. Gathering from the video, set to Lady Gaga‘s “Do What U Want,” after-hours parties with this particular set of nightlife stars includes a lot of lip-syncing, a lot of cute boys, and the occasional cameo from a Tony Award winner (see: Alan Cumming grooving behind the DJ booth).

 

Featuring Paisley Dalton, Leo Gugu, Ruby Roo, Grayson Squire, and Gerry Visco, the music video is a black-and-white affair shot by director Santiago Felipe. Check out the theatrics below, and make sure to stop by every Thursday night to get in on all the fun. I’ll leave you with a few parting words from Cumming himself: “MCW is what I think people mean when they talk about the good old days of New York. People of all ages and sexualities and genders are dancing and dressing up and performing and talking and having fun. And everyone is kind. It doesn’t get much better than this!

Party: GHE20G0TH1K Fashion Week

Apparently it’s still fashion week. I know, weird right? I mean who can really be bothered looking at clothes in this weather? But fashion stops for no man, which is why we figured we’d cover at least one fashion week party. GHE20GOTH1K are famous for their late night,dance marathons filled with plenty of fashionably cute boys, and this promises to be no different. It’s at 96 Lafayette, otherwise known as Santos Party House. Expect music by Total Freedom, Mike Q, Rizzla, $hayne and Venus X plus fashion designer hosts Gypsysport, Telfar and Luar Zepol. It starts at 10pm and will probably go late. If you’re unfamiliar with what to expect from a GHE20GOTH1K party I suggest you google their Soundcloud or visit their site where they have a playlist of awesome remixed songs that you’re likely to hear on the night. Get out of the house, get on the dance floor, get GOTH1K. Click here for tickets.

$15 IN ADVANCE, 10:00PM, Santos Party House, 96 Lafayette st. NY, NY.

Party: Cheryl at BRIC House

Brooklyn’s video and performance art group Cheryl has been putting on parties around NYC for as long as I can remember. Strangely I’ve never been to one. Which is a shame because from what I hear, they are completely wild. This Saturday I might have to change that as they perform at the party space BRIC House with awesome drag group Bushwig (pictured). The festivities are open to all ages and start at 2:00PM with a lesson on “how to adopt a secret identity/be a superhero, plus board games, a family dance class, screenings, and more.” Later in the night Bushwig and Cheryl take over, closing out the evening with a big performance/dance party. Unless you have kids (gross) we suggest you skip the daytime festivities and head over there at 6:30PM for the Paris is Burning screening, then hang out for a while for the aforementioned dance parties from 8-11PM.

$10/$13, 2:00pm onwards, BRIC House, 647 Fulton St. Brooklyn, NY.

Party: CLUB YES

De Se and Melissa Burns (pictured with a semi moiré effect) love to carry and are starting a brand new weekly party called Club Yes at the uber-cunt Le Bain. The two swinging girls have been talking about doing a party together since last summer and this is what came about when the venue approached them. The soirée is a collaboration with The Good Kids, you should expect drama, “a lot of sexiness and #different bitches — an all star group of nightlife sex symbols.” This party is for everyone, there’s no judgement or posing, they “welcome all sexual orientations, we say yes to everyone!.” Music is by Anthony DiCap and Good Kids, with resident host La’Fem Ladosha and Jungle Pussy. As they explained to me “we wanted something really positive...We like the idea of people saying yes to new experiences in the world we live in now.” They seem to have the right attitude. Yasssss, thank you bitches.

FREE, 11:00PM, Le Bain at The Standard High Line, 444 W 13th St. New York, NY.

PAPI CHAMPÚ – Touchdown Edition

Scenes from the party for papis and their admirers at Von

Sunday 02.02.14

Party: Sunday Service

It’s a new weekly party! We love it when we find a new weekly party. It’s a pretty big event and we’d need a whole other page to list all the people involved, so let me just give you the highlights. Music is by Honey Dijon and DJ Escape, plus a super secret surprise performance. Antonio Piacquadio Sankeys is overseeing the whole thing, and John Ed is heading up the “creative services” for the evening (whatever that means). The organizers are very clever and have asked about 1000 people to host for the evening (if every host brings a couple of people the place is full). It’s a Sunday night party which can be a hard night to go out, but sometimes its the only thing that will take your mind off having to go to work on Monday. The party also starts a little earlier (8:00PM, open bar from 8-9PM) so you could concievable get to bed at a reasonable hour. But then you didn’t move to New York to be reasonable, did you?

FREE BEFORE 10:00PM, 8:00PM, SANKEYS NYC, 29 WEST 36TH ST. New York, NY.

Party: KING SIZE

It’s cold outside and most of us just want to stay home. Staying home is nice sometimes, it can even be relaxing, but after a while it can get a little boring especially if you crave some cock and don’t have one accessible. That’s why I am sending you to The Cock. It’s local, it’s warm, it’s easy and for those of you that are familiar with this place it’s as slutty as it gets. Jeff Chatterton chatted with me on Facebook about the party King Size that started in the summer, when there wasn’t any promotion for it, “I’m trying to push it as a proper party now” he told me. The party was started by Jeff and Nashom (“the HBIC at the cock”), Jeff “likes to think of King Size as an old school East Village dive bar dance party.” Expect “go-go boys, disco, 90’s House, from Donna Summer to Disclosure.” My only advice is to keep your wallet in a safe place and be friendly. It’s cold outside and you don’t want to go back home, alone and ‘walletless.’

$10, 11:00PM, The Cock, 29 2nd Ave. New York, NY.

The hosts are: the queen of puss Amanda Lepore, Celso Satori, Andrew Robert Simon, Digna Shei, Joseph Navedo, Trey LaTrash, Tyler Tyler, Tyler Stone, Yusef Xtravaganza, Cher Noble and Thang. Videos by Rhonny Tulfino and a Photo booth with Photographer Jonathan Saldana. Also, they’ll have “the After Dark boutique which will feature local designers selling their couture.” In case you get drungry (drunk+hungry) the ground floor has a late night kitchen serving food till 2:00AM. 1 hour open bar at 10:00PM. It sounds major!

FREE, 10:00PM, THE DL, 95 Delancey St. New York, NY.
