I am currently in Prague in the Czech Republic to see the Queen of all Queens Madonna . Madonna’s Sticky and Sweet tour last night was amazing. She inserted a few extras than I have seen in the past few shows but we will get to that in another post. Her show was at the Chochav National Amphitheater and it was way far from the scene in Prague. We took the subway and all Madonna ticket holders got to ride the metro for free without any hassle of messing with tickets and that was a crowded delight.
Prague is a beautiful city and a really nice, modern airport. I am not sure what the average income in this town is but I cannot understand how everything can be so nice but yet the boys all seem to have no money and are all escorts. The club scene is fun but the clubs are mostly bars with small dancefloors about as big as a living room and that is if you goto a club instead of a hustler bar.
I felt uncomfortable inside the clubs because you couldn’t tell who was someone who you could talk to without charging up a tab lol. There were so many escorts out that how do you know when you meet the love of your life inside this place. Or your trick for the night. All of the hot guys seemed to have been on their own entrepreneurial clocks. It was like a Hustlaball party without the freebies.
We went out on a Wednesday and Thursday nights out to Escape, Termix, and Valentinos. Valentinos was the biggest but it was not three levels like I had read online unless I read something wrong or went on the wrong night. Maybe they open up another level on Fridays and Saturdays. Valentinos and Termix were both busy.
Termix was so packed on Wednesday night that you could not move. Packed with hotties but most of them could have been escorts or thugs. The music was great and the drinks were ok. There was even a dark room to have some fun with boys you meet right past the bathroom stalls which had full doors on them. Nose candy girls would surely like those liberal restrooms.
Termix (Trebizskeho 4a, Praha 2, Vinohrady) was so packed you had to stand to the side of the bathroom hall just to breathe. If you tried to talk through the crowd you might get stuck and every just lock themselves in. They must not have firemarshalls in this town. I will say when its packed like this to always guard your wallet in your front pocket and hold on to your valuables. I had my wallet in my front but I also had a brand new iphone 3g s 32 Gigabyte and got it stolen. I imagine this happens several times a night on Wednesdays or crowded nights at this bar because they did it very slick. I had no idea it had happened until I felt naked without my iphone. Imagine traveling in Europe with no phone which is what I am doing thanks to this thug.
Valentino (Vinohradska 40, Prague 2, Vinohrady) had a lounge on the first floor where you can chill and sit at a table then you walk down a stairs and enter the club where it is normally pretty busy as well but a lot more room to dance. The DJ is almost on the dancefloor spinning and even dances around on Thursday nights. He was quite a fun character just like the weds night dj.
The money is in Czech crownes or corunas as they call them and very confusing and the bad thing is at these bars you cannot use a credit card so you almost have to have that iphone for conversion. Or maybe its better to leave the iphone at home and get ripped off in another way lol. I think it was around 200 crownes or 300 everytime I turned around. You find yourself going to the ATM and getting out thousands of these and feel rich until a taxi rips you off. Make sure you do not let a taxi charge over 200 crownes to take you inside a Praha area. Their rates seem to vary significantly so you pretty much have to ask what they will charge before you step in the cab.
We also check ed out a male stripper club called Escape and it was located near some 13th century buildings and not too far from a Castle that their president lives in. At Escape you have to ring a bell to be let inside the gate to go down into the bar. This is a hustler bar where they have shows every hour or so and do a nude striptease. I will say these Czech boys are just beautiful no wonder they are all porn stars but its too bad they are all hustlers…not that I have anything against escort boys hell I goto Hustlaball every year and it’s a blast. I just couldn’t believe how many hotties you will find but its so strange being inside a club and there being more rent boys than there are customers. Celebrities is the local gay diner with a patio which is a fun place to hang out. There is also Temple and some other places to check out but the main gay clubs are Valentino’s and Termix.
I do recommend you get picked up from the airport from a gay tour guide or someone who speaks English who you feel will not rip you off…although all of them ripped us off. It is like the city of con artists, beautiful boys, and beautiful scenery. A really good source for looking up travel information such as hotels and nightlife all in one google map is nighttours.com.
Lollypop @ Radost FX – One place we did not get to check out we hear is the best gay night is Radost, a trendy straight disco club but on the first Friday of every month they host Lollypop, a gay disco which almost every gay boy in town attends. Lollypop is fun but beware that after 11pm they start to charge 200 crowns to get in. Belehradska 120, Vinohrady, Tel: 224 254 776.
I could not get to the G-A-Y UK site today for some reason it is not online. There seems to be so many changes in the past year in the London club scene that it is hard to know what is going on unless you are cabbing around town peeping into all the buildings. One year ago, the G-A-Y party left the Astoria This Saturday (25th July) in order to make room for a new train line and the building to be demolished. This was a historic event that led to the closing of the club but yet an opening of
Did I mention that Heaven was my favorite club in the World? Yes, it is but I go on tour starting August 2009 to be proven wrong so Czech boys, Paris boys, and
You would not believe that Benjamin Franklin was a club kid. His house is on the same block just down the alley and around the corner as the world famous nightclub called Heaven. I have heard for years that Heaven is a club that is not to be missed if you goto
Looking at people in the line it was so neat because you could tell it was people from all countries not just Londoners. One guy was walking around in a shirt with a Swedish flag and others in the line were from Northern Ireland. I knew the night was gonna be different that was for sure.
I did not need drugs or alcohol though. The music was so good I just wanted to go dance. I walked into the main dance room and was just taken away it totally exceeded my expectations of what Heaven should be. The hottest boys dancing shirtless, hot boys dancing with shirts on that could really dance, sexy dancers, and did i say…. OK you get the point. The music was amazing with the hottest remixes and the lighting was heavenly with lasers coming out of the logo of the club which of course read HEAVEN.
I am dancing so hard at this point that I had no idea there were other rooms in the club and really didn’t care. I felt like I was rolling and was not on anything. It was just amazing and I loved this place more than any club in the world that I have been to. This was on a Saturday night so it was no warming up for me when I went there without warming up to a Friday night first.
We flew out of the States a few months back to tour Paris and London which are two places I have always wanted to see as a tourist, art admirer, and clubber. I really hate calling myself a tourist but when you are walking around with 2,000 or so others doing the same thing that is mostly what it is. Even at the Tate Modern museum of art and waiting in line for the London Eye you are mobbed in with many others there for the first time which is a neat experience.
We thought we needed to book our flight months in advance but because tourism was down this year the flight was not as full as we had expected. We could have just saved the interest we would have earned and booked the flight closer to August 5th when we left town. It took so long just to figure out where we were going to stay and if that hotel was close enough to the things we wanted to see.
Ways to find guys to hang out with in London is using Gay.com chat, Adam 4 Adam, and Manhunt.net. You can also use DudesNudes.com and sites such as GayRomeo.com. I found Craig’s list to not be used as much in the UK. You will have more luck just going out and meeting people at the bars and clubs than online because online everyone seems so far away from each other and never close enough to your tube station.
We started our trip in Paris where it was quite a dilemma trying to even eat dinner. The restaurants in the area we stayed in were mostly tourist traps or complete rip offs. I am not big on French food in the first place but these touristy places were like one scam after another. They actually had salespeople getting you to go into certain restaurants to eat dinner and in some of the clubs had commissioned people to find a sucker to buy drinks and pay cover for a dead club.
My next journey to Paris I plan on doing less tourist things and more gay oriented things.I will be checking out what hotels are closest to the Marais area. The Best Western Marais Bastille and Citadines Paris Bastille Marais seem likely candidates since I can earn points for Best Western. My goal is to spend less on cabs and more on drinks. You can do this by searching hotels in Kayak and using the pull down menu for neighborhoods such as Marais/Bastille.
