TOMORROW: Furball At Bear Week

Blowoff & Furball Go To P-Town

Two of my favorite parties will land in Provincetown during Bear Week 2013, which starts this weekend. Furball with DJ Corey Craig is Sunday, Blowoff with DJs Rich Morel and Bob Mould is Tuesday. Both parties at are the famed Boatslip, which doesn't do advance tickets. Parties start and end early, as does everything in Provincetown.

Saturday In NYC - Drenched Pool Party

The Drenched pool party returns to Times Square's Grace Hotel tomorrow. The last one was mobbed and I had a blast (although I was one of the few non-swimmers, preferring to hover safely in the two bars that overlook the pool.) The best part was when the upstairs coat check got full and folks had to change into their bathing suits at a make-shift coat check in the lobby as bemused, not so bothered, but certainly bewildered tourists passed outside. I've been told that situation won't recur. Pity. DJ Josh Sparber spins, event Facebook page here.

Friday - Drenched Pool Party

The furry video below this post reminded me to let you know about Drenched, this Friday's pool party at the super-fancy Grace Hotel near Times Square. Haven't been yet, but the photos make it look like you can get drinks from the pool! Promoter Joe Fiore also does the fantastic Furball parties, so expect a hirsute heaven.
