This Weekend's Highlights
Circuit Nightclub will be a busy place this weekend. First off there's "Urbano" on Friday, March 28 with its hip-hop dance party with DJ Anton and the sexy Urbano Dancers. The next night, March 29, brings back the monthly "Nitro Party" with legendary DJ Junior Vasquez (NYC). "Under The Seas" is the theme with décor by Visuwil and performances by Cyon Flare and Eddie Couture. Finally on Sunday, March 30, "Noche Latina" takes over with DJs Fast Freddy and Alex Perez and hostess Veronica Zaid.

If dancing at Circuit doesn't interest you, then the various grooves and fun boys of all stripes at Charlie's might be what the doctor ordered. Country, 2-step, and line dancing happens early in the evening followed by DJ Lulu's hi-nrg after-hours flair. In the heart of Boystown, Hydrate show some love to local DJs Ron G on Friday, March 28 and Brett Locasio on Saturday, March 29.

There will be free t-shirts for the first 50 guests.

Monday Night Spectacular
We told you last time that Mondays were going to be a bonanza to club-goers and house-heads in town and boy were we right. Upcoming on Monday, March 31, the long-running "Boom Boom Room" @ Green Dolphin Street brings Mark Grant and Lego in a guest DJs to join residents Michael Serafini, Diz, JustJoey & Uncle Milty. Over at the new "Monday Social: Beats + Bass + Rhythm" party at Vision Nightclub, the legendary Danny Krivit makes a rare appearance in Chicago to tantalize all with his signature house sound.

Before you head off for late night dancing on Mondays, be sure to start off at Morgan's (1325 S. Halsted) for their "Service Industry Networking Night." This new party features very attractive drink specials, half-price pizza, and the music of DJ KT.

Towel Service: More & Less
Steamworks, the full-service all-male club, gym, and sauna, features a "Lights Out" party every Thursday night and an after-hours setting with DJ Dick on Friday and Saturday nights.

Strippers in thongs are aplenty at @mosphere, especially on Friday and Saturday nights with DJs Eric Hall and Timmy Loop, respectively. Meanwhile down in Boystown @ Lucky Horseshoe, strippers perform seven days a week strutting their stuff on the bars. Lots of visible male flesh is a 5 nights a week occurrence at Cocktail with the Span Go-Go Boys. House music is the soundtrack for the dancers with DJs Dhanna (Saturdays), Pete Augusta (Sundays), Michael Serafini (Tuesdays), Timmy Loop (Thursdays) and Freddie Bain (Fridays). It's a bit more amateurish but just as fun every Friday night as Spin hosts a "Shower Contest" for those willing to strip down to their skivvies. DJ Chris Eterno supplies the sexy beats.

Epicenter
The center of Boystown nightlife is at the corner Halsted and Roscoe and one of the institutions, Roscoe's, celebrates its 21st anniversary with a fabulous soiree on Monday, April 7.

Popular nights include "Showtunes" on Mondays, "Comedy" on Thursdays, "Energy Video" on Friday and Saturdays. If you prefer a DJ instead of a VJ, then Minibar is the place to be: DJ Oskar is on board for Fridays while Phil Da Beatz handles Saturdays and Chris Eterno rounds out the weekend on Sundays.

Suburban Sprawl
