RiTES OF SPRiNG
74
April 19, 2008
Birmingham, Alabama
Deep in the Heart of Dixie there beats a tribal drum that lures you down South
and will have you stomping yo’ feet. For the past 14 years, this party has
benefited local AIDS service organizations. This year, it will be held at Sloss
Furnace, an old steel mill that will be swarming with men from all over the Old
Confederacy and not a few visiting Yankees. With its many nooks and crannies,
the Furnace is a great space for dancing and engaging in chance encounters.
As usual, there will be an open bar at the main event, complete with friendly
bartenders and sexy visuals. This year, superstar DJ Tony Moran will whip the
boyz and grrrlz into a frenzy amongst the steel and heat.

WhiTE PARTY
SPRiNG BREAK
April 18-21, 2008
Palm Springs, California
The most fabled party on the Circuit calendar has made a big change in 2008.
Palm Springs’ most famous annual event will no longer be tied to Easter
Weekend, thus giving you no excuse not to sit and eat your mother’s ham this
year. 2008 marks the 18th anniversary of White Party Palm Springs. What we do
know is that super-impresario Jeffrey Sanker, who has masterminded it since the
beginning, is re-imagining the White Party as a “spring break” for young and
older alike. This also means a shift in emphasis from late-late-night events to
daylight ones. Don’t miss the ultimate all-out high-energy, head-spinning, sweatdripping,
power-surging, purely uncensored extreme outdoor dance party. Get
a bird’s-eye view of all the action from the White Party Ferris wheel—one of the
traditions that will continue. Take in special live performances on the massive
center stage. Going from daylight to nightfall, the mega-party wraps it all up
with the ultimate Xtreme fireworks display. Don’t worry: There’s still plenty to do
around the pool and on the dance floor, too much to list here.
2008 will also see the comeback of the underwear party. Boxers or briefs? The
choice is yours at this all-new event that dares to let it all hang out. It’s an
evening of skin and sin, so strip down for the fun. Secure clothes check available.
The world-famous pool parties are also in effect at a reasonable price. To bring
the generations together, White Party 2008 will have the theme, “Thirty Years of
Dance Music.” Take a step through time as the Palm Springs Convention Center
is transformed into a vision of Studio 54, featuring the largest disco ball you’ve
ever seen. Expect the same sterling quality of shows, design, and music that has
been the hallmark of this signature event.
