2.
Run For More Time
FRANKFURT
September 14

Janet Jackson Rock Witchu Tour
VANCOUVER

Are you ready, Daddy? This annual leatherfest is celebrating its 25th year of bald heads and hairy bodies. Time to polish those leashes and memorize those safe words!


5.
Atlantic Stampede Gay Rodeo
GAITHERSBURG, MD

Watch as that cowboy riles up a steer, mounts him and holds on tight. After the show, buy him a drink and show him what you learned.

6.
Gay Sunday at the London Zoo

September 14
Hang out with the bears. Stave off the apes. Smile at the peacocks. And if you have time, go take a look at the animals too.


7.
Get Wet Weekend
CURACAO
September 25-28
Star DJs, boat parties and art shows await. How nice: a Caribbean island that throws the gay boys a party instead of stoning them outside a pharmacy in a mass mob. (Holla, Jamaica!)


8.

Saporro is not just a premium Japanese beer. It's also the host of Japan's longest-running gay pride parade. Don't miss the dance party the night before the march.

16th & Noe (@ Market)

Saturdays, 9PM - 2AM

They call it "Sophisticated Saturdays" and they encourage ties and such, but let's just say there are a lot of polo shirts and t-shirts and while it's definitely a cute crowd, it's also turning into a very Cafe-ish, twentysomething crowd indistinguishable from Boy Bar or Frat House. That said, it's way more tolerable than most of the shitshow that is the Castro on a Saturday. DJs Lee Decker and Luke Fry spin house-y and pop-y stuff, and the go-go boys might be wearing ties with little else.

Chelsea Hotel Basement
222 W 23rd Street
New York

Fridays 10PM - 4AM

It's a fun scene and it won an HX Award for Best Small Club Night. So come back to Chelsea for some red velvet-and- chandelier-style glamour, brought to you by Josh Wood (Garden of ONO), Matt Tratner and Nick Van Bremen, with DJ Lina.



TransAmTHUMB2.jpg Club 8
1151 Folsom Street

San Francisco

1st Saturdays 10PM - 2AM

When you're as tired of hearing Janet remixes as we are, you might want to head to this monthly party at Club 8, where the music tends more to the punk and rock end of the spectrum.

363 W 16th Street
New York

Sundays 9PM - 4AM

It's getting a little bit mobbed after midnight at this weekly fete, but given that Sundays are for drinking ...
