Care of The Sword's tireless editors, we bring you this roundup (by
no means complete, or even-handed) of stuff going on for those of the
homo persuasion this weekend in the two meccas we currently have
bandwidth to cover, San Francisco and New York. Check back soon to see
us cover more gay urban centers near you (sorry, Cheyenne, we may never
get to you).
Our heavily editorialized listings after the jump...
Friday
GhettoDisco @ The Endup, feat. porn star Ben Andrews
6th & Harrison
11PM til well into Saturday
Fag
Fridays are no more, but for those of you who still want to hear house
DJs and for reasons known only to your dealers prefer your parties not
to get going until after 2 AM, check out the slate at Ghetto Disco this
weekend: an appearance by porn stud Ben Andrews and DJs Pete Avila, Frank Wild, and Adrian (no cover before midnight,
$20-30 after)...more

Charlie Horse @ The Cinch
1723 Polk Street (bet. Clay & Washington) 10 PM, show at midnight
It's
a hike if you don't live in the Russian Hill/Nob Hill/'Loin vicinity,
but it beat out Trannyshack last year for best drag show, and it's at a
bar that is sort of country-western themed but also has a ceiling
covered in colored in those multicolored Mexican paper flags.

Saturday
Hot Mess @ The Stud featuring super-hung porn star Ben Andrews
9th & Harrison
10PM - 4AM The sloppiest kids in town are
colonizing the Stud for this Saturday night party, featuring drink
specials for exhibitionists, live whip cream wrestling and Frat House
DJ Kidd Sysko. This week's party is co-hosted by Daniel Nardicio and the boys of Dlist, and featured porn star Ben Andrews who's in town promoting "All 10 of Big Ben," premiering on SF's own PlaygirlTV channel on Comcast. ...read more

The Hot Boxxx Girls @ Aunt Charlie's Lounge
133 Turk Street
10 PM til late
Get
your dollar bills ready and get there early (they've been turning folks away lately) as the girls pull out all the stops-and at
least five costume changes apiece-at this old-school dragztravaganza.
Tips are a definite must and Gina LaDivina is sure to blow you away. $5 ... read more

9PM
Let's
just say that there are a lot of polo shirts and
while we're totally cool with that and lots of pretty boys were wearing
them, it can be a little unnerving. Their tagline, oddly, is "Upscale,
Downlow," even though there's nothing really down-low about it. Tonight is a movie release party for Tori Spelling vehicle Kiss the Bride. The two pretty boy stars will be in attendance.

Friday
Andromeda Fridays @ Drom
85 Avenue A @ 6th St.
11PM, no cover
The East Village ain't what it used to be, but we won't write this house-y party off until we've tried it. DJ Jerome Farley does a special set from 12:30 til closing and there's a sponsored vodka bar from 12 to 1. The downside, indicating a certain douche factor: there's a note on the flier about bottle service reservations. ...read more

Star Fridays @ Star Lounge
Chelsea Hotel Basement
222 W 23rd Street
10PM - 4AM
With everyone wearing sweatpants and fucking Crocs these days, come
back to Chelsea for some style and red velvet-and-chandelier-style glamour.
Nick Van Bremen and Matt Tratner host with DJ Lina and a V2 vodka open bar from 10 to 11. ...read more

The Big Time @ The Ritz 369 W 46th Street We think the name of DJ JonJon Battles new party at The Ritz is probably meant ironically, or it's a reference to the Peter Gabriel song. Anyway, try to stay clear of that narrow-ass corridor and enjoy the electro-pop goodness while sipping that low-carb vodka soda. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Sunday
Boy Beat @ Posh405 W 51st Street 4 PM
Get your Sunday afternoon drink on at this weekly party at the "original gay bar in Hell's Kitchen." They have about the jankiest, 1996-esque website we've ever seen, so maybe they have been around at least that long. Happy Hour from 4-8, DJ T-boy spins, and there's a pizza party if you're still hanging around there come midnight.
