3 Hours at Amanda's Big Top
My friends and I are at pre-gaming at Phoenix, and I’m already really psyched. In, like, 30 minutes we’re heading over to University and 13th for Amanda Lepore’s new-ish party, Big Top. I don’t know why I’m so psyched about this party, but I am. Really, really psyched...

Exit Interview: Stephen Workman
Stephen Workman burst onto the go-go scene just a few months ago, shakin’ his chiseled bod at RockBar and Boots and Saddle, stripping down to at Daniel Nardicio’s Speakeasy parties, and working a fierce freakin’ look at this year’s Black Party. Then one fateful night, love found Mr. Workman—at The Cock, of all places—and pretty soon he was hanging up his thong for good. So as his go-go career draws to a close, we caught up with Stephen for his official AntiTwink.com Exit Interview...
2.5 Hours at NOTS 20
On the train heading into the city from Brooklyn, I realized that this would be my fifth year attending Night of a Thousand Stevies. And since this year was the 20th anniversary of this epic Stevie Nicks fan party, that meant that I’d been to exactly one quarter of the total NOTS events since 1990. Not bad for someone who was in the first grade when the party started at Jackie 60 two decades ago...

50 Minutes at a Hole Show

2 Hours at Crisis on Eighth Ave
It’s the night before Easter Sunday, so there are a lot of bunny ears at Crisis on Eighth Ave, and a couple fuzzy bunny tails carefully pinned to the backs of jeans and go-go boys’ undies. Daniel Nardicio just happens to be at the door as we’re walking in. “The show’s starting soon!” he says, and we promise we’ll be upstairs to see it...

5 Hours at The Black Party
1:30am: As seven friends and I stroll up to the line pouring out of Roseland Ballroom, it seems inevitable that this group will be forced to split up. Ideally, you show up to The Black Party with one other person, your anchor throughout the night. Three's company, four is cumbersome and anything over is just downright retarded. We've chosen to go full retard.
FREE SEX: Cheating and Feeling
Men have a hard time—pun intended—keeping it in their pants. Cue the collective eye-roll heard around the world from anyone who's ever been cheated on. This is no surprise, as men have a tendency to think with their dicks more often than with their brains.
Charles On…Do pretty people hibernate for winter?
Spring is in the air in New York City, and something is happening that occurs every year: the beautiful people are coming out of hiding. It’s a phenomenon I never noticed while growing up in Tennessee, but something unique happens as the temperature rises in the Big Apple. The most beautiful people appear as if out of nowhere. You haven't noticed them all winter long, then suddenly the temperature tops 65 degrees and there are blankets of gorgeous shirtless guys sunbathing all over the place. The shirts get smaller and the pants get tighter. Though not a lot of New Yorkers wear shorts, you can clearly tell these beautiful people are perfectly tanned from head to toe.
FREE SEX: Too Many Options
Having all the options and then some at one’s fingertips is, just like everything else in life, a blessing and a curse. Here in New York we have the opportunity to go on a first date with a new person every night of the week if it were possible. We are a spoiled group, because in a city with so many options, narrowing down those options to just one partner for any significant length of time can pose itself as a challenge.
3 Hours at mr. Black L.A.
After bearing witness to the rise and fall (and rise and fall and rise and fall) of mr. Black, the now infamous NYC dance den, being invited to host at "mr. Black L.A." was too tempting an offer to refuse. Since its inception in 2006, mr. Black quickly became a home for myself and many other creatures of the night in NYC, and despite its short time on the scene, it made a definite impact on the city’s nightlife. I started at mr. Black in 2006 as a cocktail server. I go-go danced, did coat check, cashiered and then for two years was one of the managers. I also became known on Friday nights as "Wrestleboy," a cocktail serving host.

This week: The Twittersphere celebrates Boy George’s sobriety. The guy from Dangerous Muse wants to be dominated. All eyes on Rob Pat on The View. And Jackie Beat hates your gayface.
2 Hours at the Butt Magazine Valentine’s Party
The line to get into Rush, the improbable venue for Butt magazine’s Valentine’s Day party, stretches all the way to the corner of 17th Street—possibly further, but I can’t really tell—and it’s only 11pm. It makes sense. It’s Valentine’s Day. And the night before President’s Day. And it’s Fashion Week. And Mardi Gras is on Tuesday. So the people have something to celebrate.
Charles On... Don't Stress, Just Dance
It’s no real secret that I suffer from severe anxiety. Sometimes, I even get so stressed and anxious that I have seizures. Part of controlling it for me has always been good medication, but I more importantly I want to learn to control it on my own. But even though I studied Life Coaching, and I am an expert at most of the goal-setting modules, I can't seem to get my own anxiety under control.
More awesome videos by Sherry Vine!!!
Sherry's parodies are always fun to see live, but now shes working with some very talented directors and producers as well. check out her new video AND her show at Barracuda on sundays!
Exit Interview: Duane Roggendorff
Word on the street is fuzzy faced party promoter Duane Roggendorff is putting in his resignation from nightlife. This week’s Petting Zoo at Rockbar will be Duane’s last hosting gig—for the foreseeable future anyway. So we sent our HR rep to have a little chat with Duane to see how New York nightlife can improve it’s working environment.
90 Minutes at Boylesque
Go-Go Harder is passing out cupcakes when we walk in to Uncle Charlie’s Lower East Side. He gets on the mic and announces that the Boylesque revue is starting in five minutes, which gives us just enough time to grab a drink from the adorable tattooed—and somewhat sexually ambiguous—bartender.
3.5 Hours at the F Word
If I was a little late checking out the F Word (the latest incarnation of Michael Formika Jone’s Friday night party has be happening at Rebel for, like, a month or something at this point I think) rest assured, I picked the right night to finally make an appearance.
Charles On…Get a grip. It could be worse!
I did something this week that I have never done before. I had my first breakdown via social networking. When you're running two companies and considered to be a workaholic by most, recovering from a week of work is one of the hardest things you'll ever have to do. If anything else goes wrong on top of that, then you're basically screwed. That's my story in a nutshell.
We’re Gaga for Sherry!
New Yorkers have known drag diva Sherry Vine for years, but it was only recently that the entire world got a taste of her hysterical and crude song parodies courtesy of her take on Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance." In a month, the video had over two million views on YouTube, and fans can't get enough of her scatological take on the hit. She definitely puts the "gag" in Gaga! Getting her start in the downtown scene, Sherry has performed all over the city and appeared in several film and theater roles. More than just a drag queen, Sherry is a talented comedic performer, actor and singer. I sat down with her to talk about drag, YouTube and, of course, poop.
Free Sex: Living On the Edge
Most guys jerk of regularly, sometimes once a day or even more. If I have the time, I'm a once daily kind of guy. Sometimes I wish I had more free time to sit around and jerk off as many times as I can, just for the hell of it. A few years ago, I spent a whole afternoon in bed trying to set a record for myself. I think I got up to 10 orgasms in one afternoon, then spent all night recovering. These days I prefer quality over quantity. If I can get one long session in every day or two, I'm all set, thank you.

3.5 Hours at The Petting Zoo
I’ll be honest: I never would have trekked all the way out to the West Side Highway to party at The Dugout. But now that the space has been transformed from subdued bear bar to raucous rock ’n’ roll dive, the walk down Christopher Street to Rockbar is totally worth it, especially on Saturday nights when Ernie Cote and DJ AMartini’s Petting Zoo takes over.

Charles On. . . .Universal Healthcare for All Americans
For those of you who haven't heard, I was recently hospitalized to have surgery on my hand. It wasn't too serious of a deal, but it wasn't exactly a fun experience either.
Free Sex: Who Needs Labels?
In New York City there seems to be a growing trend among straight men to be way more open about their sexuality than before. Maybe it's been like this for a while now and I am just noticing it, but I doubt it. Obviously the younger generation has something to do with it, the more open-minded youngsters who have abandoned the older generations’ ideas of what is socially "normal" or "acceptable."

2.5 Hours @ MaleBox
So you show up at The Ritz on a Tuesday night, and let’s be honest, you don’t really expect much. Yeah, it’s one of the most popular gay bars in Hell’s Kitchen—hell, it’s one of the most popular gay bars in the city—but it’s Tuesday night! People have, like, jobs, right? The best you can hope for is some date-night fags and the after work drunks who should have gone home when happy hour ended. Right?

New York City loves a good comeback. Had a rough year? Fate not treated you fairly? Maybe you just slacked off more in the past year than you had planned. As the year comes to a close, its time to reevaluate the things in our lives that might need some change set into motion.
3.5 Hours at Bowie Ball
The fifth annual Bowie Ball put another feather in the gloriously large hat of Mr. Deryck Todd. Bowie Ball was created by the new nightlife impresario only a few years ago and seems to be growing to epic proportions with every passing year. In recent years, the party has been held at the legendary rock club Don Hill's in Tribeca and the fabulously mismanaged Santos Party House.
Christmas Spirits, Jackie Beat brings her boozy holiday show to NYC
It just wouldn’t be Christmas in New York without certain holiday staples: the tree in Rockefeller Center, the Rockettes, a good stiff drink on the rocks. Guess which of those seasonal traditions Jackie Beat will be partaking of when she brings her 12th annual Christmas show, Jackie Beat: Alcoholidays, to the Laurie Beechman Theater this week. The award-winning LA-based drag star took time out of her busy holiday schedule to chit-chat with AntiTwink.com about her twisted holiday spirits.

65 Minutes at Bonbon
Four years ago, Beige, arguably one of New York’s longest running and consistently fabulous gay parties, went from see-and-be-seen destination to pre-party cocktail spot when Susanne Bartsch and Kenny Kenny launched their Tuesday night soiree at Happy Valley. Of course, Happy Valley didn’t last; some kind of real estate clusterfuck forced the Jeremy Scott designed club to shut down. But Susanne and Kenny, flush with fresh blood from the success of Vandam, their Sunday night party at Greenhouse, are poised once again to make their mark on Tuesday’s nightlife with Bonbon at Juliet.
Charles On…This week's gay awards shows
This week, the gay awards shows started wrapping up 2009 with the Glammys and the Out Music Awards. After every Glammy presentation, the nominees and their friends walk away bitter after discovering that the least suspected are normally the ones who get the awards. "Let's start our own awards," shouted one multi-colored queen as another said, "Let's just buy nicer trophies and carry them around." Both are great ideas, but why not just offer an awards presentation that everyone sees as fair? With facts to back it and a well-chosen committee to govern it?
FREE SEX: Peace, Love and Hard Cock
Thanksgiving. Christmas. In our country these holidays advertise celebration of family, friends and the Great American Way. Materialism and over indulgence come to mind immediately. Those who feel generous promote peace and love for all. How nice.
Charles On... Marriage Inequality in NY
They say if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. I wonder if the opposite is true of gay marriage.
Charles On…Giving and Receiving.
The holiday season has a different meaning for everyone, but over all giving and receiving would probably be the central themes.
