You Better Shop Around!


In an unprecedented move, Faces on Fourth Street announced this weekend that the first 100 tickets sold for New Year's Eve 2007 are available now for just $5 each. While they last, tickets to Faces on Fourth Street's NYE 2007 are only $5 each. After the first 100 tickets are sold out, advance tickets will be available for a limited time for only $10 each. Faces advance tickets are valid through 10 PM on Sunday, December 31, 2006. Doors open @ 9 PM. The cover at the door on NYE will start at $15 and go progressively higher as the night unfolds...so what we are saying is that these $5 (as well as the $10 tickets) are an incredible deal.
It always takes some time for everyone to start thinking about their NYE plans...will there be private parties....where will your friends decide to go...what are the other bars offering....and of course, we haven't even gotten through Christmas yet...we know the drill...but we also know that our NYE parties are legendary...we throw them big and we always deliver...if you have been to Faces on NYE in the past we doubt that you have ever been disappointed.
We do encourage you to shop around...check out what the other bars are offering...then take a few minutes to read through the posting below (and visit our website www.FacesNoLimits.com) to see what we have planned this year.
We'll help you a little, according to The Complex's EXP ads and Novak's website, they will both be charging $5 until 10 PM, then $10 after 10 PM on NYE. Both Novak's and The Complex offers a champage toast, food buffet, and dancing. Novak's promises an 8 PM Drag Show. We're sure both parties will be fun and you'll have fun no matter where you decide to go but take a look at what we are offering for the same price as The Complex and Novak's ($5 now and then $10 after we sell out our first 100 tickets). Only you can decide...for more comparisons...Voodoo Lounge at Harrah's is charging $20 for a DJ, go go dancers, and arialists from 9 PM to 1 AM. Al Hrabosky's is charging $10 in advance and $15 at the door (or $60 at the door with an open bar) for two DJs, streetfighters (huh..maybe it's a straight thing), and Maxim models. Cruisin Rte 66 is charging $40 a couple for a live band and two drinks. If you are thinking of going to Chicago, Crobar is selling advance tickets for $115 each...their party includes three DJs and open bar. You get the idea. Check out the competition and we think you'll agree that $5 (or $10) is an incredible deal. Where will you be on New Year's Eve?

Damning news - Clinton's Military War Games Predicted Iraq Failure

This is Bush's smoking gun...please read and pass this on..
From AP:

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. government conducted a series of secret war games in 1999 that anticipated an invasion of Iraq would require 400,000 troops, and even then chaos might ensue.

In its "Desert Crossing" games, 70 military, diplomatic and intelligence officials assumed the high troop levels would be needed to keep order, seal borders and take care of other security needs.

The documents came to light Saturday through a Freedom of Information Act request by the George Washington University's National Security Archive, an independent research institute and library.

"The conventional wisdom is the U.S. mistake in Iraq was not enough troops," said Thomas Blanton, the archive's director. "But the Desert Crossing war game in 1999 suggests we would have ended up with a failed state even with 400,000 troops on the ground."

There are currently about 144,000 U.S. troops in Iraq, down from a peak of about 160,000 in January.

A spokeswoman for U.S. Central Command, which sponsored the seminar and declassified the secret report in 2004, declined to comment Saturday because she was not familiar with the documents.

The war games looked at "worst case" and "most likely" scenarios after a war that removed then-Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from power. Some are similar to what actually occurred after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003:

-"A change in regimes does not guarantee stability," the 1999 seminar briefings said. "A number of factors including aggressive neighbors, fragmentation along religious and/or ethnic lines, and chaos created by rival forces bidding for power could adversely affect regional stability."

-"Even when civil order is restored and borders are secured, the replacement regime could be problematic - especially if perceived as weak, a puppet, or out-of-step with prevailing regional governments."

-"Iran's anti-Americanism could be enflamed by a U.S.-led intervention in Iraq," the briefings read. "The influx of U.S. and other western forces into Iraq would exacerbate worries in Tehran, as would the installation of a pro-western government in Baghdad."

-"The debate on post-Saddam Iraq also reveals the paucity of information about the potential and capabilities of the external Iraqi opposition groups. The lack of intelligence concerning their roles hampers U.S. policy development."

-"Also, some participants believe that no Arab government will welcome the kind of lengthy U.S. presence that would be required to install and sustain a democratic government."

-"A long-term, large-scale military intervention may be at odds with many coalition partners."

SORDID LIVES & SOUTHERN BAPTIST SISSIES!

DEL SHORES’ THE OFFICIAL TOUR!

Scheduled Cities Include San Diego, Dallas, Palm Springs, St. Louis, Nashville & Ft. Lauderdale!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

LOS ANGELES, CA – On the heels of selling his new television series Sordid Lives to LOGO, Writer/Director/Producer Del Shores (Queer as Folk, Dharma & Greg) will take to the road with Delta Burke (Designing Woman), Leslie Jordan (Will & Grace), and Dale Dickey (My Name is Earl), along with the entire casts from both Los Angeles productions.

Leslie Jordan, 2006 Emmy Winner for his work on Will & Grace, and Dale Dickey, who can currently be seen on the hit NBC series My Name is Earl as “Patty” the daytime hooker, will perform in both shows!

In January 2006, a Season of Shores was launched to revive of all six of his award-winning plays at Los Angeles’ historic Zephyr Theatre. To-date, three of his plays have been produced, including the GLAAD Award-winner Southern Baptist Sissies, the NAACP winner The Trials and Tribulations of a Trailer Trash Housewife, and the cult phenomenon Sordid Lives. More than 14,000 people from all around the globe have come to see the plays, making a Season of Shores some of the hottest tickets in town. The season will now go on hold while Shores and his team head across the country with the tour, as well as work on the new television series.

This year, the LA Weekly Theatre Awards honored Del Shores with their Career Achievement Award.

Riverfront Times Names Faces - Best Gay Bar in St. Louis

Cool news! The Riverfront Times Best of St. Louis issue came out this week and Faces on Fourth Street was named "Best Gay Bar" in St. Louis. Thank you to the staff of the RFT. They wrote:

Buff cage-dancers in boxer briefs, cabaret-style drag queens, weekly fetish nights and tri-level dance parties till the break of dawn: The only way a gay club could possibly get better would be to combine pool cues, phallic porn and hot-dog roasters. Well, sweethearts, leave it to Faces to raise the bar that high. This east-side nightclub keeps the beats pumping hard and the bodies pumping harder to the freshest electronica beats from excellent house DJs. Different folks require different strokes, and everyone from posh sugar daddies to the freshly outed can find something fabulous to swoon over. As Faces' 8,000 square feet prove, bigger does mean better.

When We Opened, It Was Illegal for Two Men to Dance

From the Vaults of Faces of Fourth Street:Faces on Fourth Street celebrates our 29 Anniversary in October 2006. in a previous posting, we mentioned that before Faces, there was The Red Bull. One of the founders/creators of the Red Bull and Faces sent us some great memories...we hope to share more about our 29 years serving St. Louis.
Jim wrote:

Just want to thank you for your article.

There was more than one Red Bull on Missouri Avenue. The first one was at 506 Missouri Avenue. Gerry (Jerry) Edwards an I opened it in 1968. We worked on this old condemned building for six months to get it back in working order.

Jerry went to work around the corner at Helen Schroeders another gay bar to learn how to tend bar. We didn't know the first thing about the business. When he went to work at night I would go work on the bar across the street. On his nights off we would slip in the back door of the Bull and we would work putting this old building together.

We had tried 4 times to open a gay bar 4 times we were stopped. We knew what we wanted in a bar that we enjoyed. The Bull opened in August 1968. All we had was nine hundred dollars to buy stock and buy our liquor license.

At that time males were not allowed to dance together. We talked to a gay attorney
who informed us "If no one is touching, it's exercising".

On our dance floor we had many strands of lights hooked up to two modulators which were hooked up to our juke box. They would go on and off with the music. A year later We started what is now called Disco.

Our Drag show on the second floor first started with our home stereo and spotlights made from #10 soup cans with colored lights hooked to a 2x4 on the ceiling controlled by dimmer switches.

1969 we started Go Go Boys on the bar (naked of course)

1969 we also started the first legal Drag show in St. Louis at The French Market
in South Saint Louis.

Because of that Little Red Bull all this entertainment is now possible all over this country. And whats so great about it. It was done by Gay People for Gay People & supported by the greatest group of Gay People in the St Louis area.

Red Bull - A Bar Before It Was An Energy Drink

From the Vaults of Faces on Fourth Street - Before there was a bar with a name taken from a children's book in Sauget, before Velvet, before Mag's, Clementine's, and The Complex poured their first drink, there was Faces on Fourth Street. Faces' founder, Jerry Edwards operated bars called The Red Bull (before there was an energy drink) in two successive locations in East St. Louis and bar called The News Room...then he purchased a closed department store and created Faces. Jerry died several years ago, but the legendary club lives on. Faces on Fourth Street celebrates our 29th anniversary this October. Some of those years have been rough...there have been times when Faces barely survived...not only did we lose several generations of wonderful customers and dear friends to AIDS before an American President would even publicly speak about it, we were also confronted with competitors less then a block away. Over the years, others have tried and failed to copy Faces. If you look to your right as you get off east bound highway 64 at the Fourth Street exit, you can see Club XO. Club XO, now a hip hop club, used to be a gay club called City Center, then the Metroplex. Three different sets of owners of City Center tried to compete with Faces by copying our concept...never creating something new...just copying us...some of the most savvy bar owners... both gay and lesbian were involved...each time, the customers decided to stick with us and our competitors failed.

Faces - Men's & Boy's Dept to Fallout Shelter


From the Vaults of Faces on Fourth Street:
You may have noticed a slightly worn sign painted on the brick above the Basement door of Faces on Fourth Street...the sign reads, "Al's Men and Boy's Shop Entrance"... while appropriate for our Basement Bar, it was actually a sign for the original occupant of the building, a prominent department store. The Faces building was a department store from the late 20's to the 60's, but also served as a bomb/fallout shelter in the 50's & 60's. When Faces' original owner bought the closed department store in 1977, the basement was still full of bomb shelter survival supplies.
