What What! Jeffrey Sanker knows how to impress. I noticed he was on facebook the other day asking who everyone thought would be the best performer to bring to the White Party. I saw many say Lady Gaga, Ke$ha… and lots of requests for Adam Lambert. I even saw some interesting names such as Dolly Parton and La Roux (wow that would be fun as well). The big headliner will be Ke$ha.
Ke$ha is set to perform at the White Party 2010 in Palm Springs, California. The artist who likes to spell her name with the money sign is set to perform Saturday, April 10th on the same stage that we fell in love with Lady Gaga.
Their are a few things to remember this year. First that the White Party will NOT be on Easter Weekend like in years past. So make sure you get your vacation days off for this big event. Also, the Renaissance hotel is the host hotel this year and it will most likely sell out faster than last year because its newly remodeled. They did a $25 million remodel on this hotspot and now its a Marriott ran chain which is a plus! The Renaissance is the same exact location as the host hotel before with the remodel and name change. It previously was the Wyndham. So yes its more fabulous now.
Friday, April 9 - Noon to 6pm DJ Luke Johnstone Friday Pool party with Free Admission.
9pm to 4am Boxers or Briefs underwear party with DJ Abel in association with iclubpapi in the Renaissance Hotel Grand Ballroom. There will be a secure clothes check available. Erika Jayne will be performing this event. You know we love her!
Saturday, April 10 Agnes will perform “Release Me” with DJ Brett Hendrichsen from Masterbeat playing the poolside music. Saturday night at the Palm Springs Convention Center Ke$ha will be singing live and The Freemasons (DJ’s. producers, remixers) will be spilling in the main room while Chi Chi LaRue works her tits over in the Electropop lounge. The Freemasons have some great remixes out one of them is Whitney’s “Million Dollar Bill.”
4am to 10am Afterparty event – Then Chus and Ceballos plan to bring a in state-of-the-art lights/sound and mind altering lasers for a party in the Renaissance Ballroom. A special performer will be announced in a few more days on top of all of this for this DJ set.
The Sunday Pool party will feature DJ Joe Gauthreaux and a performance from Shontelle who sings “T-shirt” $15 to get in and $10 if your a hotel guest.
Sunday is the famous Tea Dance under the Big Top from 3pm to 9pm with a Brand new location across from the Palm Springs Convention Center. Just look for the big Ferris wheel and listen for the pounding beats of DJ/Producers Moto Blanco. My favorite part is DJ Wayne G. from Heaven London – um yes the best club in the World! Special Live Performance to be announced Feb 15. They plan to have a bigger dancefloor, new rides, the ferris wheel, and fireworks! The closing party will be Sunday from 9pm to 6am with DJ Tony Moran and if you can still move after all of the above then you are one hardcore party animal.
I would be nice if we did not have to book the hotel for a minimum of three days but it looks like there is no way out of that. I waited last year last minute to book the hotel and they let us book it for two days only which was nice. That way we could party in LA a few nights before we came to Palm Springs. Last year, Lady Gaga was just amazing and so were all of the DJ’s including the Perry Twins and Andy Bell at the pool party! This year is looking to be just as exciting and I cannot wait!
I noticed the sponsor of this years White Party event will be a natural drink company which is nice. Maybe we will start getting more natural drinks in the clubs instead of the high fructose junk. The company also has a coconut water beverage and I guess that is the next biggest thing since Madonna is even on board now with a Coco beverage.
So get that pedicure on your toes toes so the DJ can blow the speakers up at the Renaissance hotel in Palm Springs!
August
Deja Vu? Yeah really. There are major changes again for Gay Days slated for June 
If you ever wanted to try drag this is your time of the year to come “out” in costume. Just be who you want to be and get creative or go barely clothed and show off your goods while you strut around and enjoy all the attention. There is a lot of trick or treating going on and not just in our bedrooms. It is block party time and here are the hot spots.
Gay Days 2009 Wrap-up
Friday night was Typhoon Lagoon and if you weren’t there then you just missed out. It was as big as it is every year and Lydia Prim did a great job as always. They moved the dance floor this year to the sandy area in front of the wave pool which made for a little change. They threw a great last minute event without all the normal lighting you get but it didn’t really matter because the boys were happy to “Let’s Go Play” over at Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon.
Saturday night of course belonged to Deborah Cox. She said she loved us a few times and we can feel it when she sings for us. She sung her number one hit Beautiful U R. Beautiful U R should be one of the biggest hits of the summertime fun in 2009. It was beautiful watching her perform below the full moon and sparkling waters of the Phouse pool.
Magic Journeys Arabian Nights Sunday night pretty much stole away the entire weekend though. I will say Peter Rauhofer did an amazing job. Normally Sunday nights are sketchy and bitchy but this year it was fun and not as crowded…much more room to dance but still perfectly busy. It was the best Sunday night party I have ever been to at gay days. I had to keep asking who was djing because he was making everyone dance as hard as possible.. Amazing job. Although we could have done without the fire alarm drills three times during the last few hours. I may never miss a Sunday night afterparty again after this years!
