Circuit Noize magazine has some cool stuff in it when you are looking for the latest parties in Canada, U.S., and abroad. The latest issue has something I first thought of as a way to get over seeing your ex out at the club or take your mind off of the current drama. Or maybe a new way to dance… Yoga (maybe Diva) to the Dancefloor please…

I like the idea of bringing myself closer to the music. It is when you really feel the music that you dance the best when you feel the beats and the rhythm. That is one thing that those little blue rolls can do is bring you closer to the beats but there are natural highs you can bring out in yourself and feel the music.

The managing editor of Circuit Noize just so happens to be a Yoga instructor in NYC. Here is the Strike a pose article.

Gimme something to eat. Get on up on the Dance Floor. Madonna is going Sticky and Sweet for her new concert tour she just announced today. Tickets will go on sale on May 16th in Europe, May 17th in Chicago, and May 24th for most of the rest of the United States dates at 10am for non-fan club members. If you are an Icon fanclub member you can purchase your tickets sooner. She is also scheduled for the first time in several years to Houston, TX (or at least she has not been to Texas during the Reinvention or Confessions tour).

This concert will sell out fast and be the hottest concert of the year. Her last concert named the Confessions tour was the most amazing experience in person. I saw it twice and wished I would have seen it more live. Watching Madonna on DVD does not do the trick you have to see it live.

Once the tickets go on sale you should check out Ticketmaster.com to see if you can get a decent seat. If not, then goto Stubhub and they will have a seat in your area for a few hundred or a few grand depending on how close you want to be to the Queen of Pop.

Why is it that most clubs are 21 and up?  Actually if you goto straight clubs they are normally 18 for girls and 21 for guys… talk about discrimination.  But the guys like the younger girls to come in the club for the “scenery”.  Which ends up making more money for the clubs in drink sales.

I always wanted to sue the clubs that I could not get in at age 18 because of that kind of punishment for being 18 and not being able to get in a club that girls could parade around in.  They get away with it so we just have to deal with it.

But what makes clubs 21 to enter?  Well they have to worry about selling alcohol to minors and that is a big worry since police and the alcoholic beverage commissions are on the lookout constantly.

It takes extra money to hire extra security to look out for underage drinkers.  Undercover security that is that is always on the prowl to bust you drinking underage at the club.   If you are not slick with it you will get busted and kicked out for a long period of time if not until you are 21 which is the norm.

There are many clubs that are 18 and up and we feel that most clubs should be.  We also feel it should be 18 to drink since its 18 to enter the military.  If you can fight for this country you should be damn well able to buy cocktails or beers and hang with the big dogs.

The liquor laws of countries differ and The U.S. expects you to fight in War but not be able to drink.  There is nothing cool about that.  You can drink in France and Mexico just to name a few.  But no drinking in the United States if you are under 21.

Gaypartyblog.com is looking out for the 18-30 crowd and we always know where the party will be next.  Stay tuned for more updates.

Houston celebrated a sexual seduction last Saturday night when they brought out the cone bras and the all-time hottest diva. Just a few days before the record release of Madonna’s Hard Candy one of the biggest events took place at SouthBeach nightclub.There were drag performances throughout the night and a club premier of the next single of Give It To Me. There was a hottie wearing a shirt that said Sticky and Sweet which are they lyrics to another guaranteed 2008 club hit Candy Shop.

April 26th must be one of the biggest club nights of the year or maybe the 4th weekend in April. Every club in the nation was throwing some sort of event this weekend. I even saw a Chris Ryan promotion for the Splash club in NYC that had a Madonna giveaway that was 18 to enter last weekend.

Now that the party in Houston is over I now remember what I wanted to bring with me… a lollipop. It would have been the hard candy that I forgot to bring.

JR’s bar and grill in Dallas plans on doing it’s own “MadonnaRama” this Friday but it should be held at Station 4 not in a tavern.  JR’s is free admission but a bar setting and no dancefloor.  Here are some pics from the Houston Southbeach event:  (more pics can be found over at Seeowl.net)

It has been some time since we had so many good hits out at once. People have complained for the last year that the clubs have went too much on the hardcore hip-hop side or too much on the jungle/trance side (not enough in between). Nothing gets the club crowd underneath the mirrorball faster than some good diva music. This is maybe why the music we have been begging for is finally coming out.

Madonna and Mariah Carey recently broke Elvis Presley in the record book this week with their new singles. Mariah’s new song “Touch My Body” made her 18th chart-topper on Billboard. “Touch My Body” is a very hot club hit. A song we have been hearing in clubs like wildfire is Madonna’s new song with Justin Timberlake which also beat out the records of Elvis with a jump of 68 to number three. This would be Madonna’s 37th top 10 with “4 minutes (to save the world).”

Janet Jackson the dancing diva is also getting lots of club play which peaked at number two on the hot dance club play charts. It also peaked at number one on the billboard 200 album chart. Kylie Minogue is also back this month with “X”.

What about the other Divas who frequently support the Gay community such as Deborah Cox and Kristine W? Kristine W. is doing great with “The Boss” where she scored a number one and Deborah Cox recently topped XM Music 2007 BPM annual dance chart with “Everybody Dance”.

You can hear most of this good music on the Beat (ch. 36) on Sirius radio. I have also heard some good beats lately from Chris Cox (Boys Night Out - Thursdays) and DJ Johnny Budz on XM Radio.

Madonna’s new cd “Hard Candy” comes out April 29. If you are a big Madonna fan you will not want to miss the biggest Madonna-Rama of the year with DJ Ed Bailey at Southbeach in Houston April 26th. It is an event that is big in multi-media proportions and the party will probably be the biggest ever. Let’s hope the local radio stations do not hear of this event… I tried to get the Madonna event in Dallas but never heard back from anyone (I suppose they do not want to book it in other cities or just have a contract with Houston?)…

Speaking of Divas we noticed today that Taylor Dayne has topped the Hot Dance Club Play this week on Billboard magazine. You can catch Taylor Dayne who was recently announced as the headliner of One Mighty Party at Disney’s MGM Studios (event is 18+) held on Saturday, June 7, 2008.

I almost named the title Gay Days WaterSports but some might get the wrong idea so lets just call it pool parties or “Mighty” pool events.

Springtime always goes by so fast that we barely have time to get ready for summer. There is just not enough time for all the preparing for the fun events coming our way. One of the hottest events of the Summer include the Beach Ball at Typhoon Lagoon during the Gay Days at DisneyWorld.

Beach Ball is just one of the number of events held during Gay Days…. I learned of the Reunion Pool Party last year and it was just incredible. So incredible I had to book my hotel stay this year at this resort. The One Mighty Weekend group also plans to offer an expo area similar to the Gay Days host hotel. Check out a write up from last year and some pics to follow: Note that the pics below do not do the pool parties any justice but it gives you not even a tenth of what went on during the daytime…

My favorite event of the year was a crazy rain forest of different fun at Typhoon Lagoon. The real Beach Ball. Last year I saw some of the most beautiful bodies on the planet all in one place… and we did this year but it was kind of wet and rainy. The rain kind of made it erotic though because everyone was dripping and no one had to worry about their hair.  It was one big wet no-t-shirt, wet boxer contest.

The wave pool was packed because the water was warm. I do feel bad for the party producers who will deal with the wet lighting and soaked equipment while everyone else is playing in the rain. There must have been thousands and thousands of dollars of lighting outside in the rain — with a dripping wet mirror ball. Yes, a big dripping wet ball above all the dancing boys.

Tropical storm Barry decided to come to Florida and intrude on Gay Days but the sun came out the next day at the pool party. This was my first year of staying at the circuit host hotel (One Mighty Weekend hotel) Buena Vista Palace. I am so impressed by the pool parties here. Johnny Chisholm knows how to do an event and do it right.

We had outside pool concerts with Billie Ray Meyers who sings that song “Kiss the rain” and many others. Even our sister who sings that Cha-Cha heels song (in which I love the Rosabel mix). The pool area is decorated with florescent flowers and fabulous energizing ornaments.  The concerts during the daytime pool parties at Buena Vista were amazing and I hope they have them again in 2008.

Too many pool parties to choose from? Here is a comparison of the pool parties during the Disney Gay Days events:

Fri June 6 - DJ Don Bishop @ Buena Vista Palace12N-6pm / DJ Ronny Boy + DJ Hazmat @ Royal Plaza ($10 / Free admission as hotel guest)

Sat June 7 - DJ David Knapp @ Buena Vista Palace 12N-6pm / DJ Randy Bettis (12N to 6pm) @ Royal Plaza - DJ Juan Rocha 6pm -10pm - DJ Andy Ajar 10pm - 2am

Sun June 8 - DJ Phil B @ Buena Vista Palace 12N-6pm / White Pool Party with DJ Josh Riptide 12N-6pm - DJ Seth Cooper 7pm-2am / Parliament House normally also features a pool party and many model contests Sunday. Or just skip the pool party Sunday and dive in the foam at the P-house. What goes on in the foam stays in the foam..j/k…

You can buy Reunion Pool Party tickets at CircuitTicket.com for $60 for all three parties or purchase the Royal Plaza tickets at GayDays.com. The Parliament House events can be purchased here.
