Friday
The Rod @ Deco Lounge
510 Larkin Street
10PM
DJ
Bus Station John spins his vintage underground best for the hip kids.
The wet jockstrap contest at midnight isn’t aging terribly gracefully,

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
198 Church Street
9PM – 2AM
DJ’s Richie Panic and Jeffrey Paradise spin their
eclectic-electro-punk-dancey best at this weekly hipster haven where
you’re just as likely to make out with a gay boy wearing a kaffiyeh as
you are to get elbowed by a baby-dyke with lipstick smeared all over
her face. …read more

The Hot Boxxx Girls @ Aunt Charlie’s Lounge
133 Turk Street
10 PM til late
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
Social Club @ The Lookout
16th & Noe (at Market)
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. Rumor has it they’re getting a dancefloor in the restaurant area soon… $3 at the door.

Every Sunday, 3PM to 7PM
It’s still not that warm in these parts, but you might as well keep drinking beer outside at this weekly $10 all-you-can-slug bear
fest. This week’s event benefits the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, and they’re a good bunch of whores nuns….read more

Friday
Bloc Party @ Easternbloc
505 East 6th Street
This
is one of our favorite gay bars in New York: the music’s good, the boys
are hip, the bartenders are cute and it’s the kind of come-as-you-are,
non-BnT booze fest Manhattan needs more of. …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.
Daniel Nardicio’s Great Atlantic City Road Trip
pickup @ Starbucks
177 8th Avenue, NYC
Sunday, May 11, 10 AM
If the last one
was any indication, the porn stars and party people along for the ride
are all going to still be drunk at 10 AM on Sunday, and the open bar on
the bus is just going to make everyone that much sloppier by the time
they descend on the casinos to frighten the elderlies... more.
