Ever heard of circuits? I am not talking about physics, it is quiet far from science. May be you have heard the gay community talk about "circuit". I want to clear off your ignorance by informing you all about it. A circuit as you had already gathered from your physics teacher is a continuous path of current. In the gay community, it is the continuous party of events which are held in series. It is in major metropolitan areas in most of the countries. The gay movement hit off in the mid 1990's and it has gained heightened popularity since then. The gay circuit parties are attended by huge male crowds. The population can be as big as 25,000 males.
Just like ordinary parties, gay circuit parties are characterized by loud house music with some DJs who are skilled to spin various beautiful permutations. There is fantastic lighting system and wonderful decorations. The activities in the circuit parties include: theater performances, glow stick waving and some shameless gratuitous nudity. It is a fun activity for the gays. In most cases it is a profit generating activity to promote HIV/AIDS awareness and other issues concerning the gay people. Example of some of this rave movement is New York's Black Party. The events usually take place somewhere with good atmosphere for parties. They can be large dance clubs for example Roxy in New York city and they are mostly held on weekly basis. If you are interested, you can hook up with black party and cherry series in Washington, Palm Spring's white party, Fire ball in Chicago and Blue ball in Philadelphia.
Gay circuit parties can be referred to as a block of events because of the many stages it goes through. The bash might begin with a splash as the welcoming party, proceed to a steam which will be in a different venue with different settings. The final stage is usually optimized in a climax stage in the final day. The block of events usually takes around three days. The best timing for the chain of activities is usually Easter holidays. A circuit weekend sees you through a tea dance, disco nap, serious nourishment and a lot of fun to seal the package. The circuit parties are organized by appointed steering committee who are responsible for booking the DJs, music, performers and performances design and promotional materials.
The size of the organizing committee largely depend on the intent or the scale of the event. Most charitable parties rely on volunteers to organize things and make sure that they run smoothly. The idea of gay circuit parties is to turn convention centers, naval bases, steel foundries into a one-night mega party. It involves a lot of irresponsible sex and alcohol. Otherwise the party does not only entail sex and drug but a lot of fun activities. You can learn more about the circuit parties through the many web sites, party reviews and also the calendars.
