John Cameron Mitchell and Amber Martin (and resident guest DJ Angela DiCarlo) return with their charming monthly party  for the promotion of “ethical homosexual culture.”  Don’t worry, ethical is not the same as square, so expect plenty of heady intellectual conversation and art speak – punctuated by sloppy make out sessions, ecstatic dancing and late night cuddle piles.

There’s nothing else like it in New York… or anywhere.  Make this #1 stop on your monthly social register, qweens!

Unceremoniously shuttered for health code violations just before New Year’s, Julius is back in time for the January edition of Mattachine held in honor of George Kuchar, inspiration for Warhol and Waters and so many others.  John Cameron Mitchell, Amber Martin and Angela DiCarlo spin tunes for your pleasure, and the crowd enjoys a mix of cruising, boozing and back room deals.  Just think twice before eating the burgers.

Read the NY Times obituary on Kuchar here.

John Cameron Mitchell and Amber Martin make the yuletide gay with the 47th installment of their beloved Mattachine party.  Guest DJ Angela DiCarlo joins Mitchell and Martin on the decks.  No mistletoe required for makeout sessions at this Shortbus-infused boite.  The gregarious and amorous crowd runs the gamut: radical faeries, experimental filmmakers, cabaret stars (Mx. Justin Vivian Bond, Lady Rizo) and the occasional film / television star (Alan Cumming, Graham Norton).  Don’t you just love theat-ah people?

John Cameron Mitchell and Amber Martin return for another edition of Mattachine. Named for the pioneering “homophile” organization started by Harry Hay in the 1950′s, the party celebrates queer forebears by carrying their history of bravery, resistance and flamboyance into the present.  This week’s edition honors gay-rights titan Frank Kameny who died this week at age 86. That’s him holding the Gay is Good sign.  He started the DC branch of the Mattachine Society after being fired from his government job.  Find out more in the NY Times obituary.

Sandwiched into one of the cities oldest gay bars you’ll find a friendly crowd of gender queers, academics, artists, performers and longtime neighborhood residents. Arrive early for the conversation. Stay late for the ecstatic dancing and sloppy make out sessions.
