SPRING FORECAST 2008 www.partyfinder.com
on the dance floor. The FTM sex show. The hot-wax fisting scene. This isn’t one
of the most intense experiences you’ll ever have on a dance floor. It’s the most
intense experience you’ll ever have in your entire life. Held at the venerable
Roseland Ballroom—the biggest dance floor in all of Gotham—you’ll be dazzled,
astounded and turned on by the sight of several thousand of the hottest men
you never thought existed celebrating the many moods of leather in all its guises,
from leather pants to jocks to … socks and boots. Once you go upstairs and
adjust your eyes to the transfixing light show emanating from the domed dance
floor, you’ll feast on the thousands of fellow revelers, some doing things you
won’t be telling the folks back home, and some doing things you won’t be telling
anyone back home. But most people are dancing—this is, above all and before
everything, a dance party that traces itself back to 1979 and the old Saint, the
most fabulous and famous gay dance club of all time. Held every year around
the Vernal Equinox, this hearkens even further back to Druid rituals whereby men
donned animal skins and danced all night to ensure a good planting season.
Even if you’re not doing any farming, you may end up planting plenty of seed at
a party that stretches from early evening well into the next afternoon.

March 30, 2008
New York, New York
OK, you’ve just had the raunchiest time of your life dancing your ass off at the
Black Party. Hard to top that, huh? Well, just in case you’re not completely
satisfied, or whether the night before only whetted your appetite for some
serious dancing (you machine, you!), head over to the revamped megaclub that
serves as the space where party impresario Ric Sena tops even his own high
standards with his sexiest party of the year. The aptly named Alegria “Xtreme”
is a sexy night-into-afternoon dance event that will take everything to the next
level—you included. Expect wall-to-wall musclemen, even hotter bodybuilders in
spectacular shows that will leave you panting, and breathtaking décor.

PuRPLE PARTY
April 18-20, 2008
Dallas, Texas
Purple Party has a great reputation as a festival of dance, spectacle, community,
and togetherness. If you’ve ever run into the Dallas party posse, you know
that these boys and girls are Fabulous with a capital F. Any event that they are
sponsoring is well worth attending. And it’s always more fun to get crazy with a
good conscience: the beneficiary will be AIDS Services of Dallas. This year, the
party will be held at the new House of Blues. So as not to conflict with Fiesta in
San Antonio, Purple Party also has a new date. That’s how they do it in the Lone
Star State—friendly like.
