Tonite Thursday, July 16, Tigerheat rolls out with Pop Princess Lady Gaga’s new Paparazzi song making it Lady Gaga night. Avalon is where Tigerheat is held and offers $2 drink specials for over 21 and has the best venue in the nation for 18 and up crowd on this one night a week (every Thursday). If you are in LA this week make sure you check out the CD release party of Paparazzi and check out the video it is amazing and I think one of the best videos of 2009 if not the best video. If this video does not win an MTV VMA Award then they suck!

Tigerheat rolls out Lady Gaga’s New Paparazzi Single
Thursday, July 16th, 2009Orlando Gay Days Venue Changes
Thursday, May 14th, 2009Well the drama continues in Orlando as DJ’s Manny Lehman and others have stepped into other venues to go up against the One Mighty Weekend parties. I will say that this one is pretty easy to predict. I can tell you now who will be at what party.
1. Lydia Prim is spinning at the Typhoon Lagoon Party- she is a fabulous DJ. This is where everyone will be friday night. The tickets are $69 bucks and it gets you into wave pools and waterslides and a great DJ. I can predict now that no one is going to be at anything else. EnVibe wevibe or youvibe it ain’t gonna happen on Saturday night. Gay Day Reimagined is just not appealing to for a gay day party. Maybe for a off weekend when there isn’t the biggest water park event going on. Whats worse for One Mighty Weekend is that Gay Days who has the gaydays.com website is part of the Typhoon Lagoon “Lets Go Play”. I think all the other DJ’s and all that are great but who on earth would miss the water park part of Gay Days weekend.
(from the CircuitDog’s twitter) Request YOUR favorite song at THIS YEAR’S Typhoon Lagoon Party w/ DJ Lydia Prim. Send your request to PlayThisDJLydia@aol.com
2. Buena Vista palace – Still hoping people will be at this hotel like last year. So many are disappointed in the Johnny Chisholm franchise that its hard to tell. If so, the pool parties will be HOT and scandalous as always!
3. The P house- Two words: Deborah Cox . This is where it will be Saturday and Sunday night. We have Hard Rocks and HOB’s in every big city in the US. People want their big dancefloor, live performers, drinks, and good music, and maybe some foam.
4. Alyson in Wonderland Sunday - Brett Hendrichsen and Alyson Calagna are two amazing DJ’s but I am not so sure people will be done with all the circuit fighting and drama and be ready for cocktails at the Phouse. We are in Disney to see Disney stuff or MGM or Universal not sit inside Hard Rocks or Gaylord Convention Centers. The Hard Rock is just boring to me.
5. Afterparty at Arabian Nights every night especially Sunday night!
This could be a situation where people will be scattered everywhere but they will end up at the places mentioned above in the end once they find the right party. At least you know the Phouse and the pool parties at Buena Vista Palace will be best bets and most likely the more affordable bets. Save your money for at least one afterparty at Arabian Nights or it could be an Ambien night.
There seems to be lots of negative things happening this year but I feel the Typhoon Lagoon party could turn out to be a fun party afterall. The saddest thing missing from the weekend is the Thursday night party at Mannequin’s which Disney tore down to make room for more family friendly restaurants. Gag me now. So they took away our rotating dance floor for a restaurant. Ok.. I will keep positive about this weekend and it will be fun!!
BTW what is up with that cheesy name of “Let’s Go Play” for the Typhoon Lagoon party. Really? It sounds like something the Parliament house should name their foam party.
Best Club in Dallas
Thursday, April 23rd, 2009When you think of gay clubs in Dallas you might think of the small bars on the Oaklawn strip but if you want a club that is big then you may want to jump into this bi, gay, try, str8 mixed crowd. The Lizard Lounge is by far the best club in Dallas. It is not only Legendary but if you want a club that is 18 to enter on Fridays and Saturdays it is the ONLY place you can go unless you try and sneak into a gay bar on the strip that is 21 and over.
The Lizard Lounge just so happens to be hosting the kickoff of the Purple Party next weekend with DJ Alyson Calagna to benefit the AIDS services of Dallas. The opening of the Dallas Purple Party only costs $15 and goes to a great charity and you can check out a legend of a nighclub. Sit in the lounge chairs upstairs and look down at the chandaler or you can go up on the balcony and look at the skyline of Dallas. What other club can you do that in and not expect some silly dress code?
The LIzard Lounge is not only one of the hottest clubs in the nation but brings out the mysteriousness that a real club should be. The sexiness and passion of nightlife comes alive inside this church building.
Coming up this weekend at the Lizard Lounge is DJ Irene. We last saw her spin a great show at Krave in Las Vegas. Following DJ Irene is a foam party at the Lizard lounge afterhours called Insomnia where they will have a foam party with DJ Raydar and Andy Szontagh.
Also, June 25th they plan to bring in Paul Van Dyk. Dance to that biotches!

Saturday, April 11th, 2009
Just got into the Wyndham Palm Springs and walked into the White Party. Thought we would do a live blog for once. This is just truly amazing,. I can hear Andy Bell from Erasure spinning and wow he is causing an earthquake out here he is so good. Hell yah loove Andy Bell.
Here is a tease pic of many to come from the White party. This is from the Saturday Pool party (today). I can’t wait until tonight when Lady Gaga takes stage.
Oh yes hes playing Always right now!! Ok time to dance!
Madonna Night at SouthBeach The Club
Tuesday, March 24th, 2009
First of all I will say I have attended Madonna Rama every year now for over four years and just loved it every year. 2007 was the absolute best year of Madonna Rama when they performed the Confessions opening act. It was almost as fun going out to this club as the actual concert on this annual night. This year was not the best mainly because I think they may have been missing a main ingredient which made the night. The DJ Ed Bailey may have been missing because this DJ sounded nothing like previous years. Does the til’ 10pm free cover mean they whored out the night and gave away the sacred things we love… the DJ that was there the past few years? Us true Madonna fans still truly had an amazing time but the club dropped the ball for anyone who has been before and expected more out of the highest ranked club in the nation. =)
When we walked in the club Friday night we noticed that there was NO Signage for MadonnaRama 2009. We asked the door people and they said it was on the floor. They put Madonna on the FLOOR as a MAT??? I think they honestly must have had some licensing issues with Madonna’s people or they would have advertised the event more. It was busy but not as busy as years past. They were too busy promoting the BritneyRama the next weekend. In years past this event was marketed way better and packed so full you could not even move. You had to dance on the box just to dance for a few hours of the night and people would stay dancing until 4am easily.
This truly is one of my favorite clubs in the world but some things have got to be said. These are some notes from a friend of mine who attended the event Saturday night:
They promoted DJ Ed Bailey- it was more than obvious he wasn’t there. The DJ was nothing like Ed Bailey. They basically played dance mixes off a CD it sounded like. It was not the remixes we were used to. They played Like a Virgin at least 5 times from 11:30 to 2 am. There are lots more songs on the Madonna playlist than this boys. Hung Up wasn’t played until 3 am after MOST of the crowd left.
The Madonna impersonator this year was more like Amanda Lepore with big boobies than Madonna. I felt bad for her Friday because of all these stains on her pants (not lady like) then on Saturday she falls off the stage dancing. What on earth is this about? Doesn’t she watch RuPaul’s Drag Race.. learn some tips girl. And yes I love Amanda Lepore but not as a Madonna illusionist!!
Any time a song from ‘confessions’ came on, the dance floor was back to crowded and there was still some energy in the club like last year but lots of song repeats that were not mixed well. I think it is better to have Madonna Rama when it is not spring break. It seemed better attended before, when it was in April. The video playback was a joke. At least twice, they played the entire credits from two concert videos. Yes, they actually played the damn credits. twice. and let it scroll ALL THE WAY THROUGH. This was as annyoying as the VJ at Station 4 in Dallas that puts up “Respect the Club” lectures.
The sound was not that “incredible”. The sound system in South Beach Nightclub seems to not be as fierce as it once was.
Thank God I went do Madonna Rama in 2007, when it was amazing- if this was my first visit to madonna rama, i would not go back. Hopefully next year they will have the DJ they promised at the very least or brought in DJ Riley who did an incredible job at the Madonna concert afterparty back in November.
Friday nights are the absolute best nights to goto Southbeach if you enjoy good progressive gay house music. DJ Tucker is by far the clubs best asset right now along with the revamped laser lighting and nitrogen steam plunge. The laser lights kick azz!
By the way- Madonna and Justin Timberlake are up for a IDMA Dance Music Award at the Winter Music Conference taking place this Wednesday. Kaskade is also up for best DJ!
Living Room Nightclub Ft. Lauderdale
Thursday, March 5th, 2009
Clubs come and go and come and go and well you get the picture. We just hope they keep on coming instead of going. Coming is always the better option right?
No club shall be left untapped even the dirty bars around the corner. We’ll maybe a few of those. But we have heard so much about the Living Room Nightclub in Ft Lauderdale not from anyone we know but from a colony of Myspace titles sort of like a futuristic beehive promoting the spot.
Having almost lived in Ft. Lauderdale and obsessing over a nightclub that closed down called Coliseum or Coli as some called it my curiosity just ate at me to check out this Living Room. I could not even fathom what on earth a Living Room could be but I was damn well going to find out. I think of a Living Room and I think of the 8 1/2 in Vegas that place SHOULD be called Living Room it has a fireplace and a cozy dance floor around it. Off the subject but they should rename that to Living Area leading into the 12 inches next door at Piranha. Only kidding.
We sort of knew what to expect judging from the website. Kind of predicted it would be fufu-ish, zen-like, busy, bitchy, and have decent music. It was a beautiful place on the inside and out. Especially the view from the windows you get of the Los Olas Riverwalk.
Knowing that it would be a bit different we were actually surprised that it’s more of the same of what you would expect to find in the Los Olas Riverwalk district of Ft. Lauderdale. We expected a little bit more mysteriousness and sexiness you might get in a nightclub. This place was too much like China White but not located as badly in the war zone down the street.
It was the to be on Friday night and had two rooms with different music formats playing which was nice.
When we first got there it was so packed you could not move… people were pushing and shoving around like trying to get around. This could be for a few reasons. One being the design of the lounge/club where the walk to the main dancefloor is a narrow one-way event where it ends at a dead end but to a dancefloor that is fun with boxes and good sound/lighting. The other reason is that there was some kind of free drink special going on from 10-12 from what I heard.
Overall it was a fun lounge/club it’s too bad they did not position the club away from the trains, fights, and kaos going on in the riverwalk area during club hours. Someone could really open up an amazing dance club in Ft. Lauderdale again on the Hollywood border or somewhere it could be 18 to enter and 21 to drink. Then again we could have been a little disappointed because we had so much fun at Revolution in Orlando the night before. Plus we thought it was too much like the China White/Jet Set club. Hey, if you are VIP and want to buy a bottle im sure you have a few fabulous areas to lounge in and sip away. I’d rather save that for a Sunday night at Voodoo Lounge with a couch to the big show.
The Living Room is a must see if you are in Ft. Lauderdale on a Friday night out. Especially if you are in town during the Spring Break season. I believe it is straight on Saturday but I am not sure. I could also not find out about afterhours in Ft. Lauderdale now which I think is at Torpedo still?
We first heard that amazing song from Kaskade from their website at LivingRoomNightclub.com. Fell in love with that song ever since but did not hear this song inside the Ka bar.
If you are staying in Ft. Lauderdale you might consider one of the new hotels that are opening up in the area. The Yankee Trader was town down and they built a new Westin resort on the beach as well as a new W hotel which should all open up the first week of March. We will be definitely be checking out the W hotel next trip to Lauderdale Beach. They are also close to Sebastian street which is the gay-er area of the beach.
Living Room Nightclub located at Las Olas Riverfront 300 SW 1st Ave, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301. DJ Oren Nizri and DJ Maximus 3000 on Liquid Fridays. 21 and up ONLY.
Party pics from Trade Party
Sunday, January 11th, 2009
These are the pics from the Trade party that featured Brent Corrigan, Amanda Lepore from NYC, Reese Rideout, and many other gay twink and jock stars. The party I expected to be better than Hustlaball but it was not as good as last year. Maybe we set our expectations too high but it was just not as wild. Although I did not attend their party at the Blue Moon the pics from that party looked like it took away some of the wild from this party. The performance by Amanda Lepore was one of the highlights of the night especially when she stripped for everyone. There were tons and tons of p-stars dancing around but we really did not know who was who. DJ Irene and Chris Cox played two nights next to each other. Irene played the Trade party on Friday.
Hustlaball last year and the previous year was much more entertaining. It really had more of an effect on the energy and the friskyness of the night. It’s too bad they did not get around to coming out to Krave Vegas this year but maybe next year… who knows. It was fun.. just not the usual craziness.
Not sure who this guy is but hes one of the hottest p-stars we saw all nite!
Revolution Sundays
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008I call it Sindays not Sundays. There is a new club night in the big metro area of Dallas. The new Sunday hotspot is at the Thoth Lounge at 1301 Main Street on the corner of Main and Field presented by Axel and Snow Queen.
The cover is only $5 which is way cheaper than the $8 you have to pay at S4 in Dallas. There is also bottle service and a VIP room and booths available and get this… Valet service.
There are also drag queens, DJ’s and a nice dance floor all ready for the grand opening on October 26th and then every Sunday from then on… we hope…
If they want to compete with S4′s very popular Sunday nights they should have made the club 18 that night. Most 21 and enter Sundays fail unless they have Daisy D or TP Lords performing especially in a ghost town such as Deep Ellum on a Sunday night. Consider making the club 18 and $8 for them and $5 for 21. S4 is charging a whopping $15 on their hip hop/rap Sunday night. Just a thought =)*
