At the Pier Dance, nobody had even heard of the "legendary entertainer". Upon announcement, you could hear a simultaneous "Who?" across the pier. And no, Lady GaGa didn't appear. But the fireworks were the best ever.
Alegria was perfection as usual. Professional staff, great dj's, positive vibe. I hated that I had to leave at 7:30 am when Abel was just starting. Oh well, can't do them all.
I know of some guys that actually got out of the Will Call line and then went purchased another tix in order to "keep the buzz going" (expensive proposition, $100+$140) and avoid waiting any longer. But I would have to say that party had some of the hottest guy, it was the "in" party of the weekend.
Another really dumb thing was at the Pier Dance where you had to stand in a long line to buy drink tickets, then to stand in line to purchase what every you wanted. My suggestion, offer a special tix ahead of time for an additional price that allows you unlimited water and juice. Then show the proper wrist band to an attendant at a barrell full of water and juice on ice. Saves a lot of drama for something so damn simple.
The NY Times said that Lady GaGA canceled her Friday night performance because she was sick. So I am not sure if she was set to appear and got sick or it was a typical NYC Pride rumor.
I wish I had been able to make it to Alegria. Ric Sena does know how to throw an amazing party without any of the other b..t that seems to occur at many other circuit parties.
