The most economical way to enjoy the Winter
Party Festival line-up is with one of the multi-event passes, which can
save you anywhere from $45 to more than $400. The Gold Pass, which
includes entry into six spectacular dance events, is selling fast. With less
than 75 still available for sale, the Gold Pass
will certainly sell out before the Welcome
Center opens Wednesday. If you’re planning to go for the Gold, don’t wait
any longer to buy your pass: go to www.winterparty.com now! You should also consider the Platinum Pass – for only $90
more, you receive entry into nine dance events! LESS THAN 75 GOLD PASSES
LEFT!
Since Winter Party is 10 days of partying and enjoying what
life has to offer I beg you all to remember to put a condom on if you choose to
have sex. Having said that, I would like to commend Chi Chi Larue for her
strong stance on safe sex, and the making of her video. This is someone who
makes her money in the Porn Industry, but has taken the stance of NO UNSAFE
SEX in her movies!!! Kudos to Chi Chi, and I urge you all to watch this
video!!

Jeffrey Ross
fromThursday Feb 28 through Sunday
March 2. Jeffrey Ross a.k.a.
the "Roastmaster General's" many show stopping performances at celebrity
roasts honoring America's favorite stars such as William Shatner, Hugh
Hefner, Donald Trump, Pamela Anderson and Emmett Smith inspired New York
Magazine to crown him "The Meanest Man in Comedy". Jeff is from Newark, Union,
and Springfield New Jersey. Now he lives in New York and Los Angeles but still
vacations in New Jersey because he's addicted to the smell. Jeff graduated with
a degree in broadcasting and film from Boston University. He got his black belt
in karate at 10 1/2 years old. He got his black belt in bustin' balls when he
joined the New York Friars Club in 1995. Jeff's directorial debut, "Patriot
Act: A Jeffrey Ross Home Movie" screened at many top festivals including
South by Southwest, the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival, The Hampton's Film Festival,
and even won Best Picture at the Montreal Comedy Festival. Jeff's "home movie"
captures his life changing experience entertaining U.S. troops stationed around
Iraq during the early days of the U.S. Occupation. The New York Times reviewer
declared Jeff, "...if not a hero, than someone who at least did his small part".
The New York Post gave the film a perfect four out of four star review and
declared it, "...the best documentary to emerge from the Iraq war so far".
General Richard Meyers, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff said "Patriot Act"
was... "...funny and poignant -- every American should see it". "Patriot Act: A
Jeffrey Ross Home Movie" aired on Showtime in honor of Memorial Day and is now
available on DVD. As a comic, Jeff has appeared on dozens of TV shows including
David Letterman, Jimmy Kimmel, Jay Leno, Carson Daly, The View, The Today
Show, HBO's Real Time with Bill Maher, MSNBC's "Countdown with Keith Olberman",
and "CNN's Glen Beck". Jeff also continues to perform stand up regularly at
charity benefits and for U.S. soldiers stationed all over the world. Jeff
recently co-wrote with Aaron Lee and co-starred with Tracy Morgan
in MTV's highly irreverent animated series "Where My Dogs At?" in which
they play stray dogs wandering around Hollywood making fun of celebrities.
Eventually the show pissed off so many people they had to cancel it. Jeff has
also written for the Oscars, the MTV Video Music Awards, and many comedy series
including "The Man Show" on Comedy Central. Jeff has done a number
of dramatic turns on such awesome shows as "Weeds", "Six Feet Under" and "C.S.I.".
In film, he has appeared in the Farrelley Brothers' "Stuck on You", and
the critical sensation, "The Aristocrats". Next, Jeff can be seen as a
judge on ABC's new reality show "The Next Best Thing" which begins airing
on May 30th. All shows are 21 & up except Friday at 10:30, which is 18 & up.

News From Sidelines Sports Bar
To celebrate Leap Year,
a once-in-a-four-year occurrence, Sidelines Sports Bar
is offering their fans special Happy Hour pricing for their favorite well
cocktails and draft beers! Customers will receive three-for-one (3-4-1) on all
well drinks and drafts on Friday, February 29, from midnight to
close. Sidelines’ owners, Laurie Whittaker and Marty Kildea, chose
to offer customers something unique to commemorate the extra day of the year. “We
are constantly looking for ways to motivate our customers’ loyalty and this was
one we couldn’t pass up”, stated Kildea.
Effective immediately, Sidelines Sports Bar
is extending their “Late Night” Happy Hour special to include Saturday night.
The “Late Night” promotion offers two-for-one (2-4-1) pricing on well drinks and
draft beers from midnight to close. This special pricing was previously offered on
weekdays only, from Monday to Friday, but now Sidelines has included Saturday
night for the drink special. “Actually, our customers asked us to do this and
we thought it was a good idea, so we’re including Saturdays from now on”,
declared Laurie Whittaker, Sidelines’ co-owner.
Sidelines Sports Bar,
in conjunction with the Florida
Panthers hockey organization,
will play host to “A Night On Ice” fundraiser event benefiting the Gay
and Lesbian Community Center of South Florida (GLCCSF). The home game takes
place on Sunday, March 16, when the Florida Panthers face off
against the Atlanta Thrashers at 5:00 PM at the BankAtlantic Center in
Sunrise, Florida. The event is the latest innovative idea for the professional
hockey franchise to reach out to the GLBT community in BrowardCounty
to increase fan base, while helping to support a very important charitable
organization. Sidelines Sports Bar, the popular, Fort Lauderdale gay sports bar,
will host a Pre-Game Panther Party beginning at 2:00 PM on game day with fanfare
and giveaways provided by the Florida Panthers and their fun-loving mascot,
Stanley C. Panther. The buses will depart Sidelines at 3:45 PM for the
BankAtlantic Center. The fun continues at the ice rink where guests will be
escorted to their Private Skybox and seats to view the match-up and enjoy a
deluxe buffet and drinks during the game. After the game, buses will return
guests to Sidelines. “A Night on Ice” package is priced at $75 per person and
includes all of the above elements. “We feel fortunate to be a part of this
exciting sporting event,” commented Laurie Whittaker, co-owner of
Sidelines. “Not only do we continue to promote sports to the gay men and
women of South Florida, in doing so, we can help support a favorite community
service organization like the GLCC.”
noiZe Magazine Second Quarter Edition Debuts
at Winter Party
noiZe
magazine, long heralded as the gay community’s bible of the circuit scene, major
parties and high-energy festivals, is pleased to announce Steve Weinstein
as the publication’s new editor. The appointment of Weinstein - a renowned
veteran of the gay press - accompanies additional plans to reinvigorate the
popular magazine for its 15th year of publication. Currently distributed on a
quarterly basis in over 50 cities in the United States,
Canada, Australia and select European locations, noiZe plans to increase
publication frequency to six issues annually later this year while continuing to
host its companion websites:
www.noizemag.com and
www.partyfinder.com. These efforts
recognize the integral role of the exciting party scene in the foundation of gay
culture, while adapting to the changing needs and desires of its core
readership. “There’s been talk of whether the circuit scene is dead,”
says Weinstein, who also serves as Editor in Chief of the EDGE Publications
and has been extensively published in the Village Voice, Out, New York Magazine and more. However, Weinstein
sees no reason to pronounce the party scene DOA: “It’s not dead, it’s
evolving,” says Weinstein. He believes gay publications must adapt to a
diverse new readership and expanded party opportunities that transcend the
typical dance club: gay cruises, ski weekends, international festivals and more.
Says Weinstein, “A lot of younger gay guys look at the typical circuit party
– a couple thousand muscular guys with their shirts off, wearing jeans, dancing
in a room to a thumping bass beat – and they see it as outdated… as their
uncle’s circuit party.” As the author of the definitive guide to gay Fire
Island, Weinstein knows whereof he speaks. With a growing distribution of over
40,000 per issue, noiZe plans to embrace the changing faces of partygoers
without compromising its established reputation as a leading resource of info,
stats, pics and reviews of the hottest gay gatherings, as well as remaining a
passionate advocate of responsible partying. “We’re the only magazine that
focuses on travel and parties,” says Publisher Stephen Ceplenski. “There
are a million places that tell you about skin cream, how to meet a boyfriend,
and what gay rights bill is passing” he says. “But if you’re interested
in getting out there, having a good time, and going to parties… this is the only
place.” Thanks to that unique position in the gay press industry, noiZe
has consistently enjoyed a loyal readership through international placement
in clubs, bars, lounges and other gathering spaces. By distributing exclusively
in party venues, noiZe continues to ensure sponsors, advertisers and
promoters that it is connecting with a distinct, targeted demographic that is
truly part of the scene. “You don’t have to mail out 10,000 postcards to
promote a party, and hope that 1% of them hit the target,” says Ceplenski of
the unique benefits to reaching the noiZe readership. “We know that
the 40,000 people reading noiZe are the 40,000 people that are already
interested.” noiZe continues to increase interest by expanding its
party coverage through the decision to increase publication frequency. While
always the definitive resource on the scene - where to go, how to get there, and
who you’ll party with - the new plan for bi-monthly issues allows for an
unprecedented level of accuracy, timeliness and important updates in planning
travel to local parties and international festivals that will make it an even
more essential resource for gay men (and their gal pals). The publication also
continues to encourage a unique sense of interactivity with partiers, employing
a team of “noiZe Boys” in major American cities. Besides providing delectable
eye candy, noiZe Boys personally distribute promotional copies, CDs, t-shirts,
and sponsorship material to engage readers beyond the printed page. According to
Weinstein, one thing that won’t change is the noiZe dedication to
providing the ultimate party experience. “I didn’t come to reinvent the wheel,”
says Weinstein. “But I look forward to bringing my experience and gravitas to
the magazine.” Weinstein plans to keep the tone light and festive without
undermining the noiZe focus on safety and harm reduction (not abstention)
in sex, drug use, and other facts of party life. Indeed, amidst all the
excitement over the shifting face of the party scene, some things remain the
same. “Everyone likes a good party, traveling, and a fun vacation,” says
Ceplenski. “But when you’re in your own tribe – whether that’s defined by
gender, race, or sexuality – you just have a sense of freedom. And in today’s
world, that gives a huge sense of relief and comfort.” The new sound of
noiZe will play like music to the ears of partygoers from coast to coast!10,000 copies of the latest Spring 2008 edition of noiZe Magazine the bible
of the party circuit will be available free in Miami Beach during Winter Party
Festival, including all of the gift bags. This issue includes a feature on the
fabulous flava, the revolution of dance music from CD to digital download, a
spotlight on promoter Tom Whitman, plus photos from Rio pride, Rapido Amsterdam,
White Party Miami, MLK San Franciso, music reviews, and the return of the ears
have it!Look for the noiZe boyz

initiative, the network commits itself to providing quality, original
independent projects by and for the LGBT community. Shelter
has already secured much acclaim in the film festival circuit, winning
“Outstanding First Dramatic Feature” at Outfest, and other accolades
at festivals across North America for not only the film, but also its
director and cast. The film features Trevor Wright in a breakout
performance along with Brad Rowe (Billy’s Hollywood Screen Kiss,
“Tell Me You Love Me”), and Tina Holmes (“Six Feet Under,” “24”). Shelter Synopsis: Forced to give up his dreams of art school in
order to take care of his family, Zach (Trevor Wright) has become accustomed
to a life where he neglects his own needs in favor of taking care of others.
He spends his time working a dead-end job at a diner, and skates the urban
streets of San Pedro stenciling his signature “crane” wherever he can find
vacant wall space. At home he takes care of his nephew, Cody (Jackson Wurth),
as his older sister, Jeanne (Tina Holmes), has clearly shown that her
priorities lie elsewhere. Perhaps conveniently, with all his
responsibilities, he barely has time to see his long term on-again,
off-again girlfriend, Tori (Katie Walder). When his best friend’s older
brother, Shaun (Brad Rowe), returns home to cure a case of writer’s block,
Shaun and Zach begin hanging out. Zach sees in Shaun someone who has truly
claimed his own life and embraced his talent. Zach is both intimidated and
surprisingly attracted to him. The two quickly transition from casual surf
buddies into a true, intimate relationship. Shaun presses Zach to take
control of his life, and to take ownership of his artwork. He also develops
a strong bond with Cody, and Zach happily notices the positive effect
Shaun’s attention has on him. As time progresses, however, a host of new
issues come up. Zach struggles with his identity, his family, and friends,
while trying to understand the new emotions Shaun has brought into his life.
When the cat is let out of the bag, Jeanne threatens to take Cody away.
Wanting nothing but the best for him, Zach is forced to decide between his
pattern of always putting others’ desires first or fighting for what is
really most important and appropriate for both his and Cody’s future. This
title has a run time of approximately 88 minutes and is rated R. Artwork is
available at

Enzi
Enzi
(means to overcome in Swahili) had a family and life was good till the divorce.
The children went with one parent and Enzi with another. As time passed the
parent resented Enzi since Enzi brought up family memories and he was brought to
a vet to be euthanized!!! YES! They wanted this healthy, loving, active boy to
be put to sleep. Thankfully the vet talked the parent out of it and that’s how
we got this 2 year old, fourteen pound, Maltese/Yorkie mix baby. He is good with
children and loves to play with other small dogs. He needs a home that has time
to interact in exercise activities with him. He’s simply fabulous and knows
commands! His adoption donation is $300 to go towards his vetting shown below.

Events at Cinema Paradiso
Media
Education Foundation
presents War Made Easy:How Presidents & Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death,
narrated by actor and activist Sean Penn, at Cinema Paradiso on March 24 at 7:00pm and March 25 at 6:00pm; the 5th
anniversary of the recognized date of the US occupation of
Iraq. War Made Easy exposes a 50-year pattern of
government deception and media spin that has dragged the United States into one
war after another from Vietnam to Iraq. The film exhumes remarkable archival
footage of official distortion and exaggeration from LBJ to George W.
Bush, revealing in stunning detail how the American news media have
uncritically disseminated the pro-war messages of successive presidential
administrations. A discussion panel will follow the Monday Night screening.
Tickets: All Seats $5.00.
The film does not reflect the personal opinions of staff, board members, and
sponsors of the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF), Broward
County Film Society and Cinema Paradiso. FLIFF dedicated to providing a
variety of entertaining and/or thought-provoking independent films and cultural
events year-round at Cinema Paradiso and through outreach programs spanning from
Key West to Boca Raton.
Emerging
Pictures
and the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF) will present
an exclusive HD screening of Bruce Springsteen: Live in Barcelona
at Cinema Paradiso on Tuesday, March 25, at 8:00pm. Proceeds from
this premiere will be provided to FLIFF to benefit the Broward
County Film Society’s
goal to keep the historic Cinema Paradiso alive. Throughout the 1970s & '80s
Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band barnstormed America, rocking audiences in
clubs and performing arts centers all across the country. Many were, in fact,
classic theaters from the Golden Age of vaudeville and "picture shows". Bruce's
fondness for these iconic movie palaces has lead to his commitment to support
fundraisers to help community based theaters underwrite an ongoing digital
cinema program. On October 16, 2002, two months into his world tour in support
of The Rising, Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band took the stage of
the Palau Sant Jordi in Barcelona, Spain, to create the kind of soul-stirring
concert experience that transforms Springsteen neophytes and fans alike into
true believers. Bruce Springsteen: Live in Barcelona
captures Springsteen and the E Street Band at the peak of their form performing
a dream set-list of new songs, classic hits, audience favorites, and
seldom-heard rarities. Containing more than two-and-one-half hours of music, Live In Barcelona marks the
first time an individual Springsteen concert has been released in its entirety.
Tickets: General Admission - $15, FLIFF Members - $10. Admission includes a
beer or a glass of wine.
Theatre Location:
Cinema Paradiso is located at 503 SE 6 Street, downtown Fort Lauderdale on the
South side of the New River just East of Broward County Courthouse. For more

Divas’ to be Featured at
OGC Concert
Are you a fan of Bette
Midler, Barbra Streisand or Judy Garland? How about Mae West,
Marlene Dietrich or the Andrews Sisters? Do you like the country
music of Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton and Tammy Wynette? Or maybe
you are a fan of Diana Ross, Donna Summer or Cyndi Lauper. Songs
made famous by all of these divas and many, many more will be sung at the Orlando Gay Chorus’
spring concert, “Diva by Diva.” Performances will
be 7:35 p.m. on March 29 and 4:35 p.m. March 30 at
The Plaza Theatre, 425 N. Bumby Ave.
Both performances will be interpreted for the
hearing-impaired. “It’s My Party,” “Somewhere
Over the Rainbow,” “Walkin’ After Midnight,”
“Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, and “Girls Just Wanna Have
Fun” are only a small collection of the countless tunes that the chorus
and ensembles will sing. In addition to the chorus, there will be “special
surprise guest stars” that patrons will not want to miss! Artistic Director
Mark Hardin is proud to bring “Diva by Diva” to the Orlando stage.
“I am excited to bring Diva By Diva to our
patrons,” said Hardin. “This concert will surely please every person in
our audience at some point in the evening. The songs we will sing represent
iconic women, no doubt, but they also are a part of American life over the last
50 or so years. Everyone will be singing one of their favorite tunes leaving
the theatre!” Tickets are $25 in advance or $30
at door. They can be purchased on the OGC web site,
www.orlandogaychorus.org; and at these businesses,
Urban Think Bookstores, 625 E. Central Ave.; The Center, 946 N. Mills
Ave.; and Gay Orlando, 775 S. Kirkman Road, Suite 111. For the first

Theatre, by visiting the box office.
Tickets are also available from any chorus member. Tickets for children ages
3-12, are $10 and are available at The Plaza Theatre on the night of the
performance. The Orlando Gay Chorus was founded on February
14, 1990, and is a member of GALA Choruses, an international organization of
more than 150 gay and lesbian choruses. They strive to inspire individuals, the
community and the world through excellence in musical entertainment. They use
music to change images and attitudes, build a stronger community, and make the
world a better place.
