Boyz and ghouls creep around the
eerie streets of N’Awlins at the end
of October. Visitors from all around
the country converge on the French
Quarter to get their freak on, in
more ways than one. Halloween
has become legendary in New
Orleans as one of the biggest party
weekends the Crescent City has to
offer. Halloween 25 is the place to
be this weekend as Halloween's in
New Orleans celebrates its silver
anniversary with Circuit stars Brett
Henrichsen and Roland Belmares,

Healthy Am I! Happy Am I! holy Am I!

their mastery of the turntables. All

Gay Mardi Gras
February 19-24, 2009

Mardi Gras and New Orleans go
together like boys and boys. This
celebration is one of the most outrageous
gatherings in NOLA, bringing
in almost as many gay revelers as
Southern Decadence. The climax is
"Fat Tuesday," which is the Tuesday
before Ash Wednesday. You may
want to give up fun for Lent, since
you’ll definitely get your fill the week
before! Weekend Passes for 2009
will be available for purchase online
after Labor Day. And remember: No
beads on Wednesday (tacky).
