BAL DES BOYS
December 31, 2008 - January 2, 2009
Montreal, Canada
Famous not only for being gay-friendly, but also utterly fabulous, Montreal has
long attracted legions of gay fans from all over the world. Montreal offers a cultural
experience similar to Europe at half the price, and without the attitude. Gay
and straight party people alike brag about the global parties thrown by the Bad
Boy Club Montreal, or BBCM. Their foundation raises much-needed funds for
local gay charities, without skimping on production value or big-name talent. Ring
in the new year with BBCM at their Bal des Boys event, and rub elbows (among
other body parts) with some of the sexiest and friendliest men in the world.

NEW YEAR’S EVE –
SAINT AT LARGE
75
Happy Am I! Healthy Am I! holy Am I!
January 2-4, 2009
New York, NY
Screw Times Square, you don’t want to wade through that many tourists just to
catch a glimpse of Anderson Cooper hosting the ball drop. Besides, more than
likely he’ll end up at the legendary Saint at Large New Year’s Eve party later
anyway. Saint at Large has been busy this year, with After the Ball, Champions,
and their Halloween Salem party keeping the night alive in this increasingly clubshy
city. Join legions of party people (we’re still out there!) at their massive New
Year’s Eve bash for a glimpse at what a party really looks like. With the economy
in the toilet, you really can’t afford to spend your hard-earned money on anything
less than the best this year, and Saint at Large always delivers the best. Check out
their website for breaking details and start stocking up on champagne early.

ASPEN
GAY SKI WEEK
January 11-18, 2009
Aspen, CO
Aspen is the gold standard when it comes to combining luxury, A-list atmosphere
with tons of white powder (that means snow, you naughty boy). Aspen's Gay Ski
Week continues this year with an itinerary chock full of mixers, shows, movies,
fine dining, and lots and lots of skiing. Beneficiaries this year include the Western
Colorado AIDS Project and the Youth of Vision Scholarship, so you can rest
assured that your sprained ankle will help some great organizations.

MID-ATLANTIC
LEATHER WEEKEND
January 16-18, 2009
Washington, DC
The long, storied history of this weekend leather event goes back to 1975, and
involves a difficult cock ring that refused to release the man wearing it, so you
know this is the type of party that promises a great deal of good times (even if
they are a bit painful). Currently being held at Almas Temple in DC, this cocktail
party has grown to a 3,000+ person weekend event. Leather enthusiasts consider
this one of the must-see (among other senses) events of the year.
