I am a thirty something married gay boy living in Sydney, almost on top of the gay scene but not in it!
Why Sometimes blue?, because I love blue, but also I am sometimes blue :)
Imperial Hotel to Include a Huge Rotating Stilleto & Another Gay Club on the Skids!
It's being reported in the main stream media that the Imperial Hotel made famous in the movie Priscilla Queen of The Desert, wants to put a 2 metre rotating Stilleto on the roof. I love the campness of this move and the absolute confirmation that this is a Gay & Lesbian Venue!
The Imperial Hotel has been around for decades and is now the only Gay & Lesbian Venue in the Inner West of Sydney after the Newtown Hotel closed late last year. Currently the hotel is being renovated entirely and is loked in dispute about the number of People to be allowed and the number of people who can be in the smoking area at one time. Source
It's fantastic to see businesses aimed at the gay community spending money on their venues, and we are talking about some serious money being spent on the Imperial Hotel.
Especially after the insulting 'renovation' of the Midnight Shift last year. The so called 'renovation' was an insulting joke to the Gay & Lesbian Community and did nothing but add a smoking balconey to the Hotel. The balconey is so small it's laughable oh and they also changed some pictures on the wall and added some 'beds' to relax in where the coat room used to be.I heard a rumor that after sacking Stephen Craddock (the promoter of Homesexual at Home nightclub) they gave the new promoters up until March to make the club work or the doors will be closed for the last time. They have come up with two events Pure and Fresh.
Fantastic posters, havent really heard whether the nights are a success or not.
I am conflicted about this, on the one hand I would be devestated by the closure of another gay venue on Oxford street. But ont he other hand the Midnight Shift has been creaming money from the Gay community for years and it's about time some REAL money was spent on the club rather than the insulting amount that was spent.

well i'm not alone then in thinking a couple of nice posters would make up for the poor sound system and remodelling.
You betcha ass Gabriel that the Midnight Shift needs a severe kick up the ass.
But as I said it's a catch 22, because if it closes we lose another club on the strip and we don't have much choice anymore anyway!
why does the logo of the Midnight Shift Club look identical to the logo of the CBC?
It does too I never noticed that (well not bieng in a CBC network area)
cool!
