Weekend Party Picks: October 29 - November 1
A happy Halloweekend to all ye glorious ghouls and grems. With the big night itself falling on a Saturday, the queers have a litany of devilish debacles planned; here is my selection for the most spine-tingling dykey affairs.
Thursday 29.
XOXA's Club Angel
Bulbul
Warm up for your Halloweekend right with a sweet and sweaty dance party for FLINTA* and friends in the cosy nook of Bulbul. NYC's XOXA brings us Club Angel. On deck we have local lovely Immy b2b with the ever-excellent Mx. Blaire, and XOXA resident Panooc. Expect nothing but the finest joyful house music and grooves to set your wings a'flutter.
Saturday 31.
SLIT
Lab.oratory
SLIT is back. The grand FLINTA* takeover of Berlin's most famed gay men's cruising dungeon. For those unfamiliar with the concept, it's not just your run-of-the-mill sex-positive party; let's be honest, they seem to slot a 'dark room' into every club janitor's closet. This an actual honest-to-Jesus sex party. Go out and learn to cruise — there's a culture in the making, folks. Facilitating the vibes are LIL RISK and Yazzus on the decks, along with a mystery performance to boot.
Hoe__mies: Dolloween
KREUZWERK
For our DOLLOWEEN special, we’re bringing you the crème de la crème, the dolls of all A very special edition of your local favorite clubby, bassy, ass-drop, femmetop clubnight: Dolloween darling. Lineup is stacked as always, and my birdies tell me Armana Khan is an absolute hurricane to behold. Hoe_mies is a party centring QTIBIPOC folks, women and femmes, so be mindful of that space. Oh, and the dolls can waltz in for a mere ten bucks. Bargain.
Creature Kin's Horror Show
Panke Culture
This is a night for the true ghouls and critters: an all-night party for the most peculiar amongst us to compete for Berlin's Next Top Monster, enjoy whatever horror-show spectacular the Creature Kin are cooking up, and mash the night out to hard-hitting live sets and demonic donk.
Can You Hear Us: Halloween
Mystery Location
If you want to take All Hallow's Eve in a more punk direction, you couldn't get better than this. A gender bending, chaotic night of live bands, drag, and DJs — and better yet all proceeds go to two independent films by queer/migrant/FLINTA* filmmakers. Dress to impress or distress — there will be a costume contest.
Cuddles
Æden
A big queer club night with a DJ lineup stacked with heavy-hitters. A Cuddles dancefloor never disappoints and if I were you I wouldn't miss Maara when she's in town. Costuming? Go c*nty chic.
VRAUWEEN
Lark & Fitzroy
An extra special edition of your local queer baile funk party. No one celebrates like Brazil, and boy, do they have a reason to celebrate this week. For Halloween, VRAU takes over Lark and Fitzroy for an XXL night to drop some ass.
Sunday 1.
Gay Christmas
Crack Bellmer
Closing the weekend with my annual Halloween ball; Berlin's only Halloween extravaganza for the dykes and FLINTA* folks (your emotional support twink can come too). Not to toot my own horn but I'm very happy camper with this motley crew of divine drag creatures, DJs to bump in the night, delectable food, and all sorts of spooky surprises. And yes, there will be wrestling.
