Countdown to Rites XXXIV: Black Party 2013 – Luna Park

The Black Party….The Greatest Show on Earth Black Party

I purchase my ticket the day after Valentine’s Day this year and had to paid $125 instead of $110, which was the first date it went up. FFFFUUUCCCCKKKK I digress

Yes, I am overjoyed that within weeks I will be dressed heavy up for THE greatest show in the gay circuit, country and world. If you haven’t heard of the Black Party, you obvious have not been doing your homework on cruising and wild sex parties and events.

A brief history of the Black Party began at the Saints in East Village in the 1980s. A nightclub that had a state-of-the-art lighting and sound system that was unheard of at the time. The music was hypnotic and the men were in trance especially with heavy drug usage throughout the club. Unfortunately, all good things must cum to an end. The gay scene was plagued by AIDS and caused a huge impact to gay nightlife scene.

Eventually, the Saints became the Saints at Large and they’re legacy lives on with circuit parties. However, no party can rival the infamous Black Party. The party gets its name for theme of the event which is to celebrate Leather, B&D, S&M and unique fetishes. The primary color of choice is black hence the name Black Party. The event is held at the Roseland Ballroom in Midtown just blocks north of Times Square and south of Central Park and The Ed Sullivan theatre; where they tape the David Letterman Show. The venue consist of three levels: the main floor, the basement-where the bathrooms and coat checks are located at and a balcony overlooking the main floor. The area is approx. 18,000 sq ft that’s (1.672 in meters) with seven bars.

As far as what to expect at the Black Party, well for starters it’s a concert hall so there’s a huge high ceiling and an enormous open are with a massive dance floor that can house thousands upon thousands of hot and sweaty men. They’re several stages and some enormous moving partitions used to perform the “Live Strange Acts”. The acts do involve some sexual stimulation and penetration. The performers are porn stars and escorts. The DJ’s providing the music are internationally well now. I don’t know who they’re-go figure. The other activities involved are left up to the patrons that attend. These are activities are done in discreet locations, dark rooms/corners. Lube and condoms are provided at these locations of the event.

Many people and bloggers say that you shouldn’t cum until 4am or something like that. I believe you will miss most of the action on and off stage. I went last year and I was so engaged in other activities I didn’t get to watch any of the “Live Strange Acts” on stage until I attended a short film at CineKink, which I will tell you about in a later post. I’m usually sexually drain by 7 or 8am and I’m ready to catch a train back home.

So, I wanted to first tell you about the Black Party and get everyone up to speed. So now I will post about my adventures. Here is a trailer for the upcoming event Saturday, March 23, 2013 to Sunday afternoon.
