Steamworks Chicago

Thursday, March 27th, 2008

steamworks chicago bath house If you want to go afterhours of the afterhours there are a few steam or spa destinations you can check out. We tried to check out Steamworks but my friend was kicked out before he even got inside because they said he was too drunk. I mean how can you be too drunk for a bathhouse? I always thought the reason for the place was for a Detox. Maybe they would rather you be on Meth inside Steamworks. Either way they may have just had a bad employee because if it was not for the bad attitude of the employee working that night then there would not have been any problem letting my friend inside. My friend was only half as drunk as he normally is. I could probably say that the employee himself was methed out so he was a little on the paranoid side.

The guy at the door was so rude that he almost made other customers mad who he was not even waiting on.  I mean why is it that we have to hire these meth heads to work at the bathhouses and give them a worse image than they already have.  I am not some far right anti-drug hypocrite but I know how horrible meth is and how paranoid it makes people and this guy at Steamworks really seemed like one of these types.  It is time to get more drinking friendly people working at these establishments to get a better crowd and to possibly prevent more DWI’s.  I think bathhouses can be a great place to go after a club to sometimes even pass out and can be a great alternative to a hotel in some states such as Ohio.  As for Steamworks I would not give them a penny of my money until I know they get better, friendlier staff.

Attached to this post is a picture of a Steamworks loation in Chicago taken by our staff.  You notice it is windy out and the gay pride sign is showing up well.  The building that is touched up with a nice silver metallic modern look is highly discreet on the outside to just display Steamworks in a vertical fashion on the glass frames sticking out.

En Vogue to Perform at Gay Days Event

Saturday, March 15th, 2008

The Parliament house has just scheduled En Vogue to perform at Gay Days 2008 on Saturday, June 7th.  After millions and millions of albums sold with Grammy nominated mega-hits such as “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It)”, “Hold On”, “Givin’ Him Somethin’ He Can Feel”, “Free Your Mind”, “Whatta Man”, “Don’t Let Go (Love)”, “No Fool No More”, “Lies”, “Don’t Go”, “You Don’t Have to Worry”, “Too Gone, Too Long”… the Funky Divas are back, badder than ever!  I think we all remember the Never gonna get it song…  But this is exciting as fuuukkkkkk!!

Last Year we got to see Deborah Cox but she will be seen in many cities at places such as the House of Blues so stay tuned for that as well.  We know Deborah Cox is hotter and sings better than Beyonce!!

If you have not booked your tickets yet for gay days 2008 you better get on it.  Also, get your hotel at the reunion hotel at buena vista palace because they have the hottest pool parties.  Air fares will be going up thanks to higher gas prices so you better book this trip fast!

Club One Re-opens for One Night Only

Friday, March 7th, 2008

There are not many Party Monster clubs left in the country anymore after years of raids, rezoning, and money problems… or maybe because the fad ended. Club One was shut down by the City of Dallas due to rezoning issues and has since been shut down. They get to be open one night only though coming up March 15 – the ides of March.

club one lisa loungeClub One is a landmark of all nightlife and a cultural part of the deep ellum arts district in Dallas, TX. DJ Bryan Konrad will be spinning from Austin with a very cheap cover of $8 until 11:30pm. I can assure you there will be a huge line with that low of a cover price. The club is 18 to enter and this will be a K/os party.

If you are coming to Dallas for this party you may want to check out Station 4 on Friday and Sunday night.

Winter Party Festival

Friday, March 7th, 2008

winter party floridaThe Winter Party was sooo much fun. We finally made it to Miami for the first time since the Madonna Concert and it’s fabulous Pawn Shop afterparty. The Under One Sun Pool Party from around noon to 6pm was held at the DoubleTree SurfComber Hotel at 1717 Collins in South Beach Miami. It could not have been a more beautiful day to hold a pool party. I think calling this a pool party is an understatement. It was a giant outdoor club taking over the entire back end of the hotel space. The straight people walking by outside near the beach walk were looking back there wishing they could be part of the endless sea of hotties.

It was similar to the gay days pool parties which I think cannot be beat. Typhoon Lagoon’s Beach Ball and the Gay Day Reunion Hotel have the best pool beach parties I have attended. But this one was great because it was right in the middle of South Beach. You could just walk out the gate to see the Atlantic Ocean. Maybe pick up a hot straight boy and bring him back inside for some drinks.

karu y club miami outside patioUnder the Stars at Karu & Y Club in Downtown Miami was Saturday night. It was a nice venue with an amazing outside. The outside as you can see in the pic to the above left was like a jungle and beautiful. We spent most of the night outside just enjoying how nice it was. DJ Abel and Rosabel were spinning on the inside but the indoors was kind of long and low ceiling. No boxes to dance on.

The outside area had little cabana areas and hut-like bathrooms making it unique. Small man-made river streams and bridges just made this outdoor patio the best I have seen… Karu & Y club is located at 71 NW 14th Street.

Orbit was Sunday night at Cameo (pics below) 1445 Washington Avenue. I have not been there since Crowbar and it looked like they remodeled it some. It was a highly expensive $85 compared to the $45 on Saturday (normally the other way around). Orbit was unbelievably packed and had the greatness of Tony Moran spinning. There were many boxes to dance on, vip areas, lounges, many bars, and lots of bathrooms. I missed it last year and after this years fun I will definately be back again in 2009.

China White Friday at Jet Set

Friday, March 7th, 2008

live performance divaWe were in South Florida again for the Winter Party events going on in Miami and decided to drop by the grand opening of the China White night on Friday. China White which recently closed down is now called Jet Set (109 S.W. 2nd Ave.). Not to be confused with the gay adult site called Jet Set Boys or the popular Jet Set Modeling Agency. Jet Set after all means a social group of wealthy people participating in things that ordinary people cannot participate in. Fabulous name for a nightclub.

Keep in mind this is a straight club on every night but Wednesday and Friday. But the gays definately dared the drunken straight streets of this downtown Ft. Lauderdale area to take over that night. Yes, and police everywhere like a terror zone. Make sure you do not get stuck behind a train trying to walk from your car to the club.

There was a performance from a singing diva, cabaret umbrella girls, and dragdrag queen china white queens. It was a fun night with house music and top 40/hip hop, and I think I even heard Grease Lightning.

Here are some pics from the China White Friday Night in Ft. Lauderdale:
