The Return of Rococo: A Baroque Bash

The extravagance of a 1770 rococo party meets the eclecticism of 2008 underground NYC nightlife. Think Amadeus, Marie Antoinette, and the Marquis de Sade. Noveau-Baroque music by Snazz Mammoth…plus...The Human Floor (yes, he is actually part of the floor!!!) and contortionist Jared the Conjurer.

Folsom Street East

It’s the last level for mature gay men who still like to party. In your 20s you were a twink and believed that man on man love could last forever…in your 30s, you were still relatively young, but bitter and investing heavily in Cilnique skincare products. Now, you’re over 40, don’t give a shit, and have decided that dressing like one of the Village People is sexy and better than being alone. The annual Folsom Street East block party is the S&M soirée where you can truly embrace gerontophilia and “individuality”, while wearing a ball gag and a latex mask. Bob Mould of Hüsker Dü, Trai La Trash, and The Imperial Court perform. Hosted by porn legend Chi Chi LaRue.

W 28th St bet 10th and 11th Aves, 2-8pm, $10 donation, www.folsomstreeteast.org
