Happy new year, boys! We're going to start 2015 off right, in the spirit of all the hot man-to-man action that goes on behind the closed door of The Dirty Bird on third Saturdays. A big part of why AREA 2181 was created is to get guys off Grindr, Scruff, whatever the fuck - at least when they're at a gay bar - and actually force themselves to flirt with the other guys around them in the room. Cause honestly, I don't know about you, but I prefer the real thing to a picture on a screen. So tha...
Happy new year, boys! We're going to start 2015 off right, in the spirit of all the hot man-to-man action that goes on behind the closed door of The Dirty Bird on third Saturdays. A big part of why AREA 2181 was created is to get guys off Grindr, Scruff, whatever the fuck - at least when they're at a gay bar - and actually force themselves to flirt with the other guys around them in the room. Cause honestly, I don't know about you, but I prefer the real thing to a picture on a screen. So that's why we're bringing back with a vengeance a legendary gay cruising tradition this month (and possibly beyond)...
THE HANKIE CODE. YES, fuckers. We are gonna teach you boys how to CRUISE again.
We'll be educating you in the days leading up to the 17th, and have a big huge sign the night of that lays out the code for you, AND will be providing hankies next to that sign, so there is NO FUCKIN' EXCUSE not to participate. Come on, boys - let's make this one for the books. I think you'll find that flagging your sexual tastes IN PERSON in a room full of hot men is just a little bit more efficient than the constant disappointment, hostility, and flakiness on the gay sex apps.
++++++ AREA 2181 ++++++
Every third Saturday Lavender Underground presents AREA 2181, a twisted cruising party created for gay men from all walks of life. We wanted to make a night where all sorts of men who love men can come together and mix with each other in a discreet, raunchy environment where guys can feel comfortable that their shit's not gonna end up on the internet, where prying eyes are not allowed...except for the hot fucker across the room. Doesn't matter if you're black or white, closeted or out, chiseled or husky, 21 or 81. You're ALL studs at this party, so show us what you're made of.
+++ GUEST DJ ROB WINTER +++
ROB WINTER has been playing for packed crowds for 15 years, from Q and Last Supper Club, to his residency at Chapel, and numerous venues in the Midwest. His unique mix of chunky Chicago bass, forward thinking techno grooves, and symphonic builds are a perfect fit for 2181.
+++ RESIDENT DJ PAVONE +++
DEREK PAVONE has been making asses shake up and down the West Coast for nearly a decade. While he has been known primarily as a disco DJ, AREA 2181 will see him stepping away from his classic sound and into the darker corners of house, acid and techno.
