GAYLETTER

The great thing about New York City nightlife is that new parties pop up all the time, it’s a city that works very hard at keeping things fun and exciting. A promising new party starts this Tuesday, May 20th in Brooklyn described as a “night of freaks and additives.” It’s called SIDESHOW and is brought to us by The Culture Whore. They tell us that they chose that name for the party because they “love the idea of owning the fact that we are freaks — a freak show of queers
…Being a freak means that one is unable to fit into the grid of normal society. Freaks are embodiments of chaos. They deal with the ugly, the dangerous, the taboo. They are the outliers of humanity guiding the path towards evolution.” 

Paul Leopold who’s one of the organizer told me that they are hoping to fill the venue Friends and Lovers in Crown Heights with “eclectic acts, or queerdos, who will make you sweat, laugh and cry while being surrounded by the happiest and friendliest crowd in NYC.”  He adds that the space is “super cute with a big stage and awesome sound system.” There are too many people involved in this party for me to list (if you are throwing a party in 2014, you need at least 25 people hosting.)

The party is also the launch for ARTSLUT, “a zine for Culture Whores by Mark Dommu & Friends.”

Expect a night of “horrors and wonders, mutants and magicians, delights and subversions and  more bearded ladies than you could possibly imagine…” Alright, got it!

$10, 8:00PM-2:00AM, Friends and Lovers, 641 Classon Ave. Brooklyn, NY. Get advanced tickets here.
