Dean Johnson and James Coppola present
TRIPLE XXX MOVES TO SIBERIA
(formerly at The Hole)
356 W. 40th ( @ Ninth Ave )
COLUMBUS DAY WEEKEND
Sunday October 9th 10pm
open bar 10 -11pm
admission twenty dollars
Dancing! Drinking! Sodomy! TRIPLE XXX is celebrating a one-time only event this Sunday at Siberia in Hell's Kitchen. I'll be working with Black Party promoter James Coppola to move "the filthiest party in nyc" to its new location. Formerly at The Hole, TRIPLE XXX is legendary for its "anything goes" atmosphere and its shameless go-go trash who will do anything for a dollar.

THE AD FOR THIS EVENT WAS REJECTED BY HX MAGAZINE FOR "GRAPHIC SEXUAL CONTENT": to view the offensive ad click on the link below:

"Offensive Sexual Content"? Aside from the fact that the ad is more comical than prurient, HX already published this exact same artwork by famed author and photographer Danny Fields less than a year ago for a different event. So why the sudden "sex panic" from HX? Apparently the magazine is for sale and the owners feel that "homosexuality" is more commercial without the "sexuality", which is ironic since the magazine makes the bulk of its profits from promoting male prostitution in its back pages.
As I have already told the editors, I think HX is sending a negative, self-hating message to the community. I like HX, I have many friends who work there and i will continue to advertise in their magazine. They've always supported my work; they've put me on the cover twice! But I hope the owners will consider the danger of repressing sexuality in a community built around a common sexual identity. Let's always remember that sexual liberation and gay liberation are not separate issues.
See you at TRIPLE XXX....love, Dean Johnson

Homouality?

It really says something about the actual real power of words, and the power of money. Why a magazine publisher would castrate themself in order to make the mag more marketable. And how feckless to cut 'sex' out of homo, since homo graphically implies all the sex that is being cut out. On the other side, maybe the party is just sooooooo great it is hard to let it be promoted as what it really is without having a postorgasmic blackout just out of anticipation. In any event I am sure Daddy will be posturing in another kind of headshot totally unsuitable for Page Six, so I won't bother looking for a party report THERE!
I like HX too. Especially all the ads in the back that remind me of you, Daddy. I've liked HX since one of their photogs clandestinely shot me from a roof down the block, while I was on the roof of my building one summer night playing drums. He ambushed me at Cabaret Magique, when it was at Boys Room on A, and shoved some snaps at me. Ambitious and on it.
HX is militant without even trying to be.
Damn, Tripple XXX is right.
Last night was NASTY! And packed!
It was the most fun I've had DJing in a long time.
SIBERIA is this great, completely raw dump that... well, just has it going on. I loved it. It reminded me of the first JACKIE 60s when the only lights we had were clip on lights on extension cords with red bulbs and I DJed on a card table. The sound system at SIBERIA is... well, there IS NO sound system! It was like playing at an "Outlaw Party". Really fun. Upstairs (where I was) was pretty wild. I can't even imagine what the basement was like. It really felt like New York again. FREE! At least for a night. They were projecting (at least 3) old 1970s porn loops. Really funny stuff. One guy was being jerked off by a GI Joe doll, that sort of thing. Very creative. (Almost GREY GARDENS Hattie)
I hope they do it again!

Congratulations James & Dean

Hey Daddy! I stopped by for a bit; it was pretty packed, I couldn't make my way to your booth. I could tell you were into it by what you were spinning. It was a hot vibe. My favorite part was one of the go go boys approached me (following his dick), and says "Hey, Mr. Joe! Where are our drink tickets?" Ah, the good ol' days.

Kudos to Dean and James - that place rocked. The images by Stephen Kent Jusick were really interesting, creative, and sexy spoogey. The downstairs was, by the way, dark and dankly lit (i.e., almost none) - no music downstairs...good touch, actually - just the sounds of the kids having it off. And, the "back" also included some live porn theatre - complete with a set, and seating "in the round" to watch the show provided by the entertainers perched on giant animal sculptures. It was great.
Yeah, the film loops were great!
Of course you actually know the G.I. Joe boy Gobbs. I'm not surprised.
There were some pretty hot girls there as well. One is a friend of mine from the gym. (She was the one blowing the go go boys on stage). I love that those girls feel free enough to carry on at a "Boys Party". It's hot.
Too bad I didn't see you Mr. Joe. I would have asked you for a couple of drink tickets as well.
Oh, and I forgot to mention the "3 legged Rockettes Line" at the end of the night. (No, not the Butoh Rockettes). All of the go go boys lined up on the bar and jerked off together into the crowd. Now THAT'S what I call a Ballet!
The only thing missing at the party (besides Jonah) was Hattie Hathaway.
Or was she there?
Yesterday The NEW YORK OBSERVER published a feature encouraging gay men to seek out new places for public sex!! Here's an excerpt:

quote:
"Along with the death of bohemian Manhattan, decent places for a guy to get some have evaporated. There are a few pockets left, most of which will be promptly shut down with any public scrutiny. At Siberia"”the bar made semi-famous as the place where Jayson Blair drank while not reporting stories"”on Columbus Day weekend, Dean Johnson, old-school gay party promoter, hosted the redundantly titled party Triple XXX. "Don't go into the basement w/o checking your wallet," read the e-invite. "It's hard to avoid pickpockets when your pants are on the floor."

"But one wonders if that's just nostalgic and utterly wishful thinking. As the city builds, maybe the friends of Mr. Johnson will regroup to try the new public spaces, looking for that magical alchemy of opportunity and plausible deniability and, of course, odd beauty." - Choire Sicha, NY observer 10/13/05
