’’The theme is Peter’s theme, the lineup is Peter’s lineup. The production is Peter’s production. It’s pretty much Peter." Rauhofer will be remembered at Roseland’s Work Party, part this year’s New York Pride.

For the Black Party’s annual rite of spring, the theme is ’Rough Trade at Luna Park.’ Expect motorcycle toughs, demented clowns, street punks - & thousands of hot men in fantasy leather gear dancing to some of the best DJs on the planet.

DJ Joe Gauthreaux is headlining not one - but two - of the season’s biggest parties. Get your heart on at Alegria and beat the heat at the Winter Party, all courtesy of DJ Joe G.

Super DJ Tony Moran gears up for White Party Palm Springs in March with more music and madness in the desert sun.

If the cold weather has you down, think about Provincetown in the heat of July, and get ready to book discounted tickets for Independence 2013 starting February 15th.

Don’t tell Karen! The actor who played her pint-sized nemesis on ’Will & Grace" (as well as Brother Boy in ’Sordid Lives’) headlines Houston’s fundraiser for local LGBT nonprofits at a gorgeous B&B. Be prepared to laugh yourself silly.

Mark Nelson is one of the leading gay promoters on the local & national party scene. H’es worked with nearly every hot gay icon. He opened up to EDGE about the ups & down of working in trenches of N.Y. nightlife.

The Sundance event hits Rehoboth Beach on Labor Day, expected to raise more than $100,000 this year to benefit LGBT community center, CAMP Rehoboth.
