Yep, it’s a triple conjunction of holidays this weekend: Valentines Day on Sunday, Presidents Day on Monday, followed by Mardi Gras on Tuesday. Whew! OK, here’s my personal plan of attack for these upcoming 5 days of partying:

Friday, February 12: I think I’ll start things off low-key with the Love and Lust Party at House.Boi, 6to 9pm. There’ll be all my favorite shirtless House.Boi models there, a Svedka host bar and music by DJ Marcel. Plus I can shop for a new Mardi Gras outfit for the weekend…

Saturday, February 13: First stop of the night will obviously have to be our Active Duty Military Ball at Rich’s, with music by DJ Nikno. As usual, miltary and/or camo attire is encouraged, and the first 500 boys through the door get commemorative dog tags.

And then after that, it’s off to after-hours at Spin Nightclub for Michael Mack presents “Beads” with DJ Taj. It’ll be Andrey Roy’s birthday celebration that night, so if you see him make sure and wish him a happy one!

Sunday, February 14: As I mentioned here last week, this night is the debut of a brand spankin’ new event, Circuit Sundays downtown at Sidebar in the Gaslamp. Here’s some new info on the 30-person limo shuttle: Plans are for it to depart from the Ralph’s parking lot in Hillcrest beginning at 8:30pm, and to continue running back and forth between there and Sidebar every half hour, until the last one leaves Sidebar at 1:30am. We know it’s inconvenient for many of you to party outside of Hillcrest, so we’re trying to make this exciting new event as safe and hassle-free for you as possible.

Monday, February 15: What Mardi Gras would be complete without a visit to Bourbon Street? Monday will be day 6 of Bourbon’s “7 Days of Decadence,” and will feature our newest Pix event, Shake at Bourbon Street. In fact, this Shake will be the Booty Shakin’ Semi-Finals, with a 1st place prize of $300.

Tuesday, February 16: This is the big one! The 9th Annual Absolut Hillcrest Mardi Gras Street Party celebration will take place today, rain or shine, between 6 and 11pm:

“The event is sponsored by the GSDBA Charitable Foundation and the Hillcrest Business Association. All proceeds from the street party benefit both organizations. The GSDBA Charitable Foundation issues annual Youth Scholarships.

The festival will feature live entertainment, special guest performers, and an exclusive V.I.P. area. Food and other drink will be available for purchase from participating vendors and venues. Additionally, full liquor will also be served during the event. An array of other surprises, plenty of beads, and various other party favors will also be part of the festive evening. Hillcrest Mardi Gras remains a 21 and up age event.”

So, that’s my plan…six events in five days. See you all…wherever I see you!
