HALLOWEEN –
NEW ORLEANS
69
Happy Am I! Healthy Am I! holy Am I!
October 23-26, 2008
New Orleans, LA
The first 24 years were just a warm-up, according to the 25th anniversary
announcement for New Orleans’ Halloween bash. Masterbeat founder Brett
Henrichsen stars in an impressive lineup of DJ talent for this ghoulish series of
parties that includes such other big names as Roland Belmares and Na Lei Hulu
I Ka Wekiu (just don’t say that last one too fast, or you might hurt yourself.) This
being N’Awlins, it’s all open bars. But bring a costume—mandatory at the big
event. And best of all: The proceeds of the entire weekend’s set of parties go to
Project Lazarus, a local AIDS service organization.

HALLOWEEN –
NEW YORK
October 31 - November 2, 2008
New York, NY
New York is widely recognized as the Halloween capital of the world. Don’t forget
to check out the Halloween Parade in the West Village on Friday. Then gear up
for Salem, the Saint-at-Large’s much-anticipated pairing of Peter Rauhofer and
Junior Vasquez at the gargantuan Roseland Ballroom on Saturday. But save some
energy for Alegria’s don’t-miss, wall-to-wall-muscle blowout on the next night
(November 2) at Webster Hall with Abel. Lubricate at Chelsea’s fabled G Lounge
for their Fangtasia party, with prizes going to the best costume. This is the place
that invented the frozen cosmo—a real treat for your trick.

HALLOWEEN –
LOS ANGELES
October 31, 2008
Los Angeles, CA
Not to be outdone by the East Coast, West Hollywood arguably puts together
a much gayer parade than even New York for All Hallows Eve. Santa Monica
Boulevard shuts down to accommodate some of the best costumes in the world,
and being stuck in one of the most fabulous gay neighborhoods afterward isn’t
so bad either.
