TONITE: Homo/Sonic @ The Black Cat

DJ Natty Boom and the TNG gang are back at it for the 2nd Homo/Sonic in 1 month- WHOA!

"January is an exciting month for fans of The New Gay, good music and meeting cool people. Our last Homo/Sonic queer dance party went so well that we're getting another one in the same month. Come join regular DJs Zack and Michael, and special returning guest Natty Boom (of the Anthology of Booty) for a night of ass-shaking, booby swinging, dick-like-a-helicopter dancing to indie, electro, retro, disco, booty pop and beyond.  As usual our parties are coed, trans-inclusive and straight friendly.  See you there!  All ages $10"

There's even a pre-game for the ladies @ Nellie's beforehand!

SATURDAY: AMANDA BLANK w/ Maluca DJ's Lil El & Jackie-O! @ RNR Hotel

Have to give my home-girl Lil' El a big shout out for scoring an opening DJ set for Amanda Blank!  I'm unfortunately DJ'ing a bday party that night, but congrats and good luck!

Also on SATURDAY: SHIFT: Slay Ride 2010 @ COBALT

DJ MAJR is back at it this Saturday w/ Shift at Cobalt.  Check out and download his teaser mix for this month's Shift HERE!

forget NYE, what are your January 2nd plans?

If you didn't get BYT tickets before they sold out haven't figured out what you're doing for New Year's Eve yet, well.. you're out of luck (actually I'll be making a post later about fun last minute NYE ideas, including an event I'm DJing at Vinoteca).

But with all the discussion about NYE, many have overlooked the numerous parties going on this Saturday, January 2nd.  You'll either have to make some tough choices or go for a marathon night.  I vote the latter.

First Up: Homo/Sonic @ The Black Cat
The boys from The New Gay, Zach and Michael, continue their monthly and legendary party Homo/Sonic this Saturday, and will joined by DJ Natty Boom.  Natty Boom is out of the Anthology of Booty DJ Crew and hosts the Backdoor party at the 9:30 Club Backbar.  Homo/Sonic can also boast of being the first queer indie dance party in DC in 2010, although I bet BYT's NYE party will be pretty gay too. Homo/Sonic is coed, trans-inclusive, straight friendly, and really fucking fun.  RSVP on facebook here: Homo/Sonic 2010

Next Up: KIDS @ DC9
A bunch of us gays were at the last Kids party, and we were dancing our faces off.  My girl Lil' El hosts this all 90s Hip Hop party once a month with DJs Steve Starks,  Nacey, and Jackie O.  DC9 is also right next to Nellie's if you need an excuse to stop by Kids.  But just to warn you, you will end up spending most of your night here.

More incentives include the following:
FREE entry before 10PM
FREE Old English before 10PM
FREE condoms all night

RSVP on FB here: KIDS @ DC9

Last Up: CODE @ EFN Lounge

CODE is a Gear, Rubber, Skin, Uniform or Leather Dress Code Party at EFN Lounge (1318 9th St NW).  My boy Shea Van Horn, who does Maison with me as well as Mixtape and Raw, will be DJing January's CODE party.  This party sounds crazy: open bar from 9-10PM plus tons of guys in gear doing demos and shit.  You can also find me DJing here for the Wet & Wild party on January 13th.
