Studly Party Promoter Overcomes Neurological Disorder And Has Drink Tickets

Posted by Michael Musto at 9:00 AM, April 11, 2008

After a night with the gays at Beige, it's a welcome palate cleanser to toddle around the block and drop by the new cub Antik to see how the other half loves. Last Tuesday night, the waitress-only hangout was mainly filled with squealing straight girls along with a few feyish boys, some heteros on a date, and a burly mafioso-looking type brooding in the corner. Worked for me! The promoter there is Keith Collins, the personable guy whom I've long known as the spiritual nephew of the Village People's original cowboy Randy Jones, and who is both an actor and a spokesman for Tourette Syndrome, which he's battled. Collins told me that he got beaten up a lot as a kid for going into fits and spitting at people, but he's gotten things under control, letting off unwanted energy by wiggling his toes. That's ingenious! Come on, everybody, let's all blow off steam via our toesies! Let's do the Tourette!

Gay Nightlife Update. . .

Posted by Michael Musto at 5:00 PM, February 25, 2008

Promoter Josh Wood has launched Sundays at the Cuban-flavored (and formerly hepatitis-tinged) Socialista, where gym gays stand around and ogle each other's pecs in the semi darkness. Drew Zailen and Akash Abraham have started Thursdays at Ultra, where some outer borough queens plus one big guy in a zebra print jacket flit around trying to uplift themselves through boozing and cruising. Butch Cordora is coming in from Philly to do "Bluffin' with Butch" poker events Wednesdays at Splash, starting March 5. (No, they're not strip poker events—not yet, anyway.) And the sleek club Touch is launching Solarium Tuesdays that hope to bring the gays back to the Broadway district. As if Xanadu didn't already do that!
