gaypartyblog.com gay nightlife scene

I could sit and watch videos for hours and not be turned on as much as this video did it for me.  Michelle Williams has delivered one of the hottest videos of the year with some HOT dancing.  Parts of the video remind me of the Madonna Hung Up performance when they pick her up and do lots of group moves.

Sadly, I do not think I have heard this song in the club (or maybe I was intoxicated at that point lol).  I have heard it on XM BPM and Sirius The Beat.  I noticed the video on LOGO The Click List where they play the top 10 videos it was at number 5.  The Perry Twins had a good video on LOGO also ranked at number 7.  LOGO is more of a Lesbian channel but you get the Gay stuff on there now and then =)

Anyway, here is the new video from Michelle Williams "We Break The Dawn".  I just love the choreography… its so good I can hear that lady from So You Think You Can Dance screaming up and down in the background!

If we are looking at songs that have that electro feel then there are many Madonna, Pet Shop Boys, and Erasure songs that could be on the list.

There is this myth in the gay world that no man is truly straight. In some cultures (I’m thinking of Greek, Egyptian and other Arabic lands here and speaking from experience,) it’s quite acceptable to be bi-sexual. Sex with your mates, or an older guy, is for fun – girls are for marriage and having babies. But that’s really another story; the point is that some men are more up for it than others. After reading some ‘true life experiences’ on various gay story sites  gaystorycontent.com/club or manswords.com and many others, I put together a few ideas for getting your straight mate to ‘turn gay’.

Remember that he may not turn gay permanently. Many of the real instances that I’ve been told – where a straight dude lets another guy suck him off etc. – took place after a night of drinking. This is actually a good ploy: I’m not advocating getting drunk on a regular basis as that’s obviously bad for you, but it’s a good cop out for the straight dude to be able to say ‘I was drunk’ or ‘I don’t remember’ as if the thing never happened. Bless them, they feel so guilty when they’ve done something with a guy and enjoyed it.

So, you could engineer a situation where you and he are alone, having a few beers or whatever at home. You slip on a straight porn film (worth investing in at least one) to see his reaction. If he doesn’t know you’re gay you could ease in with ‘what part of this scene turns you on?’ he’ll say something like ‘the girl with the big tits’ in which case you have some work to do. But if he says ‘the blow job’ you can leap in with ‘I’ve always wanted to try that,’ or ‘I wonder what that feels like’ or dive straight in with ‘I can do that for you.’ ‘No way man,’ he will say to which you reply, ‘but we’re only having fun and anyway, we’re drunk so we won’t remember in the morning.’

If he’s really against the idea then don’t push it – things could turn nasty. But if there’s even the slightest moment of hesitation, if he has to think before saying ‘no’ then you’re probably on to a winner. Remember that he is going to be the shy and uncertain one so don’t rip your clothes off and present him with your hard cock. Start slow, seduce him, maybe simply touch his bare leg with yours, or let your arm ‘innocently’ drop next to his so you’ve made body contact. As the movie progresses you can start to pres harder and the moment he presses back you know he’s game.

That’s one scenario: the drunken one. I’ve heard of guys simply going up to their straight mate and kissing him when he’s a bit wasted, or even grabbing his cock. This way you either get a definite no by being pushed away or he is so stunned that he returns the grabbing.

Competition is good, sometimes. ‘Who’s got the biggest cock,’ is one to try. This can lead to both of you getting your dicks out and comparing sizes in a manly, macho way that both of you will love. ‘Ok, so who’s got the biggest when hard?’ is the natural second step. Watch him stroke his cock while you try not to shoot your load too early. ‘Who can come first,’ leads to a natural but quick end, ‘who can hold on the longest?’ is a good variation as is ‘who can shoot the furthest.’ But, as long as you’ve made him feel comfortable and un-pressured then he should respond to this ‘bit of fun’ by stroking his straight meat before your very eyes.

But if you want to see some real experts at it then you’ll need a little cash. Try this first time site to see how they do it and you could even copy their techniques – if you have enough cash and a camera. Here the straight boys (and they really are) are simply offered money to strip and jerk, touch each other and occasionally go the whole way. So if you can’t actually get your own straight mate to do it, click over there and watch someone else’s fantasies come true.

Ok, so we have all probably tried to get into a club using a fake ID or you know the drivers license borrowed from a friend that says you’re 21.  The problem is that there are so many worries you have to consider than just being turned down from the club once the door person figures out your ID is a fake.  If the ID is borrowed from a “look-a-like” real person they may not want their ID gallivanting around due to identity theft reasons in case the person looses it or it ends up in the hands of a club bouncer that is shady.  I have personally seen people at parties pass around ID’s that were taken at the door and no telling what happened with those.

I think the US liquor laws should be 18 and that clubs should not be as strict but I also wished the world was perfect and its not.  The clubs and bars are not being dick heads they just have no choice and live or die sometimes just on this one issue.  The majority of clubs get shut down just for letting minors drink or turning their heads to it and being caught by aggressive organizations such as the TABC in Texas or the highly aggressive ABC in NY .  If you work at a club you probably find it a personal assault that someone drinks inside it under 21 because it really does risk the club being shut down forever without a license to serve.  Several repeated underage drinking violations and the club is gone.

But what about the stupid things people have tried with ID’s that got them busted.  Here are some I have heard about or seen…

1. Walking in Drunk into a club when you look 16 and using an id that says you are 23.  Ok this is really stupid.  For one do not walk into a club drunk no matter what age you are.  Even if you are 21 the club can kick you out or you can be arrested for public drunk when the police come do a walk-through inside the club.  I have seen people stand in line to get in a club before and not be let in because they are too drunk and a smart bartender would not serve them anyway for their own liability.
2. Using an ID that you cannot sign the name.  If you do not have the address, birthdate, and cannot sign the name exactly as it is on the card then don’t risk using it.
3. Using an ID that rips in half.  Um yeah if you are going to use a fake license then at least make sure the damn thing doesn’t rip apart and that its quality is good enough.  You know… as good as a REAL license.  These bouncers probably bust several people every big club night using identification that is not their own so I would test it out first.
4. Not knowing anything about your state that license is printed.  Say you get a license from a state such as Ohio and someone asks you about how the Buckeye’s are doing this year and you say um “the who”… You could be in Vegas trying to use the ID but not even think they would know anything about Ohio.  Well most people who are checking identification have been around and they have moved around and know other cities.  Expect them to ask questions discretely just to see if you know anything about it.
5. Actions speak louder than words.  Know that when you walk in hesitantly into a club and look around like a bozo that they will spot you out and be suspicious.  You will stick out like Marilyn Manson walking into Midnight Mass.
6. Going up to the bar buying other underage drinkers drinks.  Not only will you get kicked out normally until you are 21 but your buddies will too.

Ok, so I made this list to be funny because I know how it is to not be able to get into a freakin club but you can read this blog and find out most of the under 21 nights in the cities we know about.  You might even be able to make deals with your local club about going in on 21 nights if you prove to them that you will not drink.  That is one hell of a VIP with lots of temptation.

Males get discriminated against more than anyone when it comes to getting into a club.  Most straight clubs make the guys enter at age 25, while girls can get in at 18.  This to me is discrimination and should not be allowed but the courts seem to allow it in most states.

Take Action

With the bad economy I think that governments might finally get desperate to lower drinking ages or loose that money in tourism to Mexico and Canada.  Write your local representatives and vote when elections come around.  Tell them it makes no sense to fight and die for a country but cannot enjoy an alcoholic beverage.

Finding a Fake ID

I wouldn’t risk it.  You might see a craigslist.org ad or someone offer you an ID but beware its almost impossible to make an ID since 9/11 and being busted for having one by the police might really land you in trouble.  If you have an older brother that looks like you then you’re a damn lucky person there might be some kind of music to be made out of that.  The government is cracking down on immigration, identity theft , and terrorism so you can only imagine the penalties for carrying around an ID that is not you.  A sibling I doubt would be much of a case for them (if you had their permission of course).

Fight for your rights biotches! But don’t get your hangout in trouble doing so…

If you are down New Orleans way for Labor Day weekend then you might want to join in the fun and frolics at Southern Decadence, or as it is now widely called the ‘Gay Mardi Gras’. Events start on Wednesday, August 27th and carry on through until Monday, September 1st . But what exactly is this huge homo event?

Well, according to the official website, it started 37 years ago as a simple going away party and has since evolved into one of the world’s top gay events. It is one of New Orleans’ largest annual events with over 100,000 gay men, lesbians, bisexuals and trans-gendered people turning up for it. The city’s French Quarter gets packed out all week but it is the Sunday when the ‘Grand Marshal’ leads the parade through the streets starting at two in the afternoon. Each parade is named and themed and this year, 2008, the parade is titled ‘Decadence Goes Disco’, the theme colors are black, silver and white and the Grand Marshals will be Paloma and Tittie Toulouse.

Where Bourbon Street meets St. Ann Street on the corner is where you will find the center of New Orleans’ gay world. Here you will also find the city’s largest gay nightclub, The Bourbon, and The Parade dance club with many of the city’s other gay attractions, shops, bars and clubs within a few blocks. Expect that area to get busy all day and night long as the pubs don’t close and there is a huge amount of entertainment lined up.

Chi Chi LaRue has been the hostess for the last ten years and will be back again this august to front the festivities. Other stars appearing include: Shirley Q. Liquor, Lady Bunny, Deborah Cox, Kimberley Locke, Jeanie Tracy and Thea Austin. There are cabaret shows, outdoor concerts and dance nights with Deca-Dance XX being the largest dance event of the weekend.

Sounds like you’ll want to get in there early and the good news is that you can buy tickets in advance for many of the scheduled events. To read more about what’s going on and to buy tickets you can go to the official website: southerndecadence.net where you will also see the events schedule, a map of the area, the venues and pictures from previous Mardi Gras.

I say ‘official’ website as that is what it calls itself. So does southerndecadence.com where there is information about who is sponsoring what. For example the official beer sponsors are Bud Light and the media guide is provided by Ambush Mag. There is also a comprehensive history of the event and lists of accommodation, transport notes and much more. Both sites are as good as each other for information, I just wonder why there are two “official” sites?

If you want to hear and see what goes on right now you can log into the Tube sites and do a search under ‘Southern Decadence’ I found loads of clips this way. You’ll hear guys talking about the day, you’ll see guys flashing their dicks too and this is a good way to get a flavor of the things to come. Why, there are even some websites out there that feature videos filmed at the events, mainly street parties and club movies but every now and then you’ll get someone showing himself off. You get the impression that at the New Orleans Mardi Gras just about anything goes… and that just about everything comes off. It’s a celebration and a chance for thousands of gay folk, both boys and girls, to let their hair down.

So why haven’t you bought your tickets yet?

Very sad news to report from the great world of Disney.  The highly popular nightclubs in Disney World’s Pleasure Island will be closing September 28, 2008.  Just a few months away Disney will be renovating the area and plan to build um restaurants and other lame things to replace the clubs.

Enjoy your time until the end of September at Disney’s Mannequin which had an amazing rotating dancefloor that we so enjoyed every Thursday for a good time now.  Thursday night was an unofficial gay night at Mannequins nightclub in Pleasure Island and it will be greatly missed.

After close to 20 years in operation, Disney’s Pleasure Island is undergoing a major overhaul, including the closure of the Adventurer’s Club, Comedy Warehouse, 8 Traxx, Motion, Mannequins and BET Sound Stage.

So much to talk about from this three day trip to Columbus… I do not even know where to start.

First, let me tell you I knew almost nothing about Columbus or Ohio before our trip there a few weeks ago for pride. Okay, yeah we knew it was a big deciding state in the past elections and primaries and knew that Hillary won Ohio this year. And of course we knew about OSU (Ohio State University) and the Buckeye’s. We had to look up the meaning of a buckeye because we were thinking they were one-eyed sworded Indians or something (hehe). Turns out a buckeye is a tree that produces a funky smell and a fruit that could possibly be poisonous.

Honestly I did not know what a buckeye tree was until after my trip to Ohio so now I will have to go back just to see one of these things. We did see some places such as OSU campus, the Cuyahoga river, and the Easton town center which had lots of great shopping. Just do not eat that the Abuelo’s it had horrible food but do eat at Brio Tuscan Grille if you want some good Italian. The Easton town center had everything from Abercrombie to PacSun to Hollister to everything you see in most malls but rolled up into a mega-shopping center.

We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel just down a little over a mile from the Short North area. Short North is where the gay fabulous world of Columbus resides. I advise you to stay at the Hamption Inn because it is the closest hotel to the Short North but across from the convention center so im sure it’s booked most of the time. I do not recommend the Columbus Renaissance it was disappointing hotel that had very thin walls and was quite a walk to the bars.

Short North

This is the arts district of Columbus which is a big gay destination. It amazed us. The walk there was so clean and safe and nothing of what I expected of a downtown area. This had to have been one of the cleanest un-ghetto cities I have ever been to and may actually be cleaner than anywhere I have seen. The boystown in Chicago was similar but overall Columbus was really clean.

My favorite place to eat was LemonGrass . Their soup was amazing with lemongrass broth and spicy chili paste. We actually ate their twice it was so good and a cute waiter who worked the Friday evening shift.

Union Café is a lot more than a café it is a gay video bar with a big patio. The newly remodeled location is only a year old and is enjoyable all day and night long with good food, deserts, and music. They play show tunes on Sunday nights for you who like to sing along to old movies. Lots of eye candy with the wait staff too. You may see Union referred to as U or U bar.

Then there is Q bar & nightclub at 205 N. Fifth St. which had Pepper Mashay in town while we were there. She is one of the biggest hearted women you will ever meet! They have an expanded bar and club during the pride that extends over their parking lot. The dance floor seemed small but not too small.

Wall Street is big on Wednesdays for the gay crowd located over on 144 N. High Street (wallstreetnightclub.com). Wall Street also features drag entertainment and is a lesbian bar on most nights from what I understand. Club Diversity is geared for the older crowd but it provides some laid back entertainment for those who do not want club pumping beats.

Lets get to the big daddy of them all and what I loved the most. Well OK there were quite a few things. One was the amazingly large parade which was over 100k people from all over bringing diversity with a parade that could give MardiGras a run for its money. There were lots and lots of bra-less, shirtless girls. Even on the s&m type floats you would see the leather mommas rocking out with their tits out.

The parade was awesome then when it ended everyone followed the parade over a mile or so to another area with tents and entertainment. They were selling beer tickets but nothing else had alcohol. I found out the hard way when I ordered a smoothie that I thought was a Strawberry Daiquiri and wondered where the Rum was. The great part of the parade is that the entire community was over there just fresh from the parade and enjoying the sunshine and even getting in the water fountains with their dogs having a joyous time. A storm did come in and bring that to an end but it was great while it lasted.

The Community Fest was not harmed by any rain though it made it more Woodstock and funner for that crowd. Just parallel to the short north area there were shirtless hippie rocking out at CommFest. CommFest was another added bonus to the entire weekend. Lots of good musicians performing, beads and shirts for sale, and many things to do at CommFest. Thousands of college aged students were enjoying the commfest then they would go over to the U and have a drink or hang out over in the Short North area. I saw lots of GBLT, lesbians, hippies, drag queens, gothic, leather, skaters, and of course the pot heads were everywhere haha… You cant get the gays and str8’s that close together without some pot.

My favorite club that I had an incredible time dancing was called Axis which is rather bitchy towards the line outside but once you get inside there is at least one bartender that is hella hot and the dj must be ME. The dj played the best music I have heard in a long time in a club. I couldn’t sit down because all the songs were good gay dance anthems.

I could just tell that the name Axis sounded like it would be the place to be and it was! It is 18 to enter and they even feature college shower shows up on stage once a month which would be wild to see. I loved Axis and give them 5 stars out of 5 and may even put them in the top 10 clubs of 2008 list when it comes out later this year. You have boxes to dance on, the music was fierce, OSU boys, upstairs drag room that is fun, and a upstairs to look over the dancefloor.

Columbus Nightlife for us was Axis mostly on Friday and Saturday nights and maybe over to Union for a pre-club drink. 

Sunday Nights are show tunes at Union and Havana has a fabulous drag show with talented thong or underwear dancers. They do quite a show at Havana on Sundays considering they are dancing on a pool table with only a board for support. The bar is packed around 1230a or so and is a fun place to be if you like some good drag and frat type boys showing their stuff.

If you are considering moving to Columbus think about how nice it would be to live in the Short North area and just walk out to the dining and entertainment experiences that are just out there waiting for you. You must consider the horrible winters but there is an escape out of town to Cincinnati or somewhere as close as Chicago.

With over 25 bars and clubs listed in Columbus they have a nightlife that beats other cities hands down. The fine dining, artsy and college atmosphere, and urban touch all make this city a wonderful place to visit and live.
