Halloween is one of the gayest holidays....often the first time boys dress in drag....always a night get in touch with your creative gay gene....Halloween in Key West...Halloween in New Orleans....Halloween in West Hollywood...the streets are full of gay men in creative costumes....St. Louis used to be like that...the Pythian Party...a private, gay warehouse party was a huge deal....costumes were required...they never announced the location until the last minute....and the place was packed...the CWE hosted a huge outdoor Halloween night party that attracted tens of thousands of people....things have changed...the Pythians Party was raided in 1993...there was some crime and violence in the CWE....both parties ended....the Pythians did host two more parties at Faces...the CWE has tried various day time "family friendly" parties...a few wealthy gay men have hosted private parties....but St. Louis' gay population seems to have given up on Halloween.
We would like your help to try to turn things around. This year, we are hosting parties on Saturday, October 29 and Sunday, October 30...and we are thinking about a party on Monday too. Our Saturday event is the Bare As You Dare Fantasy & Fetish Party. We would love to see lots of body paint, liquid latex, rubber, leather, Saran Wrap, and of course skin. Sunday night is Masquerade - The Costume Ball....everyone must be in costume to get in on Sunday....we want 100% participation...Sunday night is 18+ to enter and 21+ to drink. We have shows both nights....Saturday night. DJ Steve-O & DJ Josh Waters spin in the Main Room...Sunday night, DJ Josh Waters spins. Work on your friends...do some online searches....start on your costumes now.
