If you’re anything like me, you’ve just now shoveled your car out, you’re finally done waiting hours in the grocery store and, frankly, you’re stir crazy. I know how you feel. I’m bored, I’m ready to dance and I’m ready to hang with friends. A cocktail in hand wouldn’t be bad either. Luckily, over the next few weeks there’s plenty to do. With no snow forecasted for this weekend, there’s absolutely no excuse. Grab your girl and get ready to play!
Friday, Feb. 19, is the packed party Britney, Beyonce, Gaga at Sisters Nightclub, 1320 Chancellor St. This event is sporadic, and once a month or so it makes the rounds at various clubs, but this week it’s at Sisters, making it even more gay than usual! DJ Deejay will have you dancing your ass off all night long to the sounds of the hottest female artists of today. This definitely needs to be on your calendar if you’re looking for a night of fun, sweaty, sexy dancing.

And then get ready to dance! Saturday, Feb. 27, is the Scene party at its new home, Voyeur Nightclub, 1221 St. James St. If you missed last month’s party, you really missed out — a packed house of over 350 women danced to the music of Carl Michaels on the main floor and Lil Sis spinning hip-hop upstairs. This month they’re back for more, and the Liberty City Drag and Burlesque crew will provide live entertainment. The Scene is also bringing back “hoop” artist Jennifer Alvarez, a crowd favorite from last month, and will have vendors selling some must-have LGBTQ-themed items.
